Month: The month of Love — ❤❤February❤❤
Place: Delhi, India
Time: 10:16 hrs, Indian Standard Time
State of Mind: Happy and contented
I start by saying and believing that I am ever grateful for everything that I have and I am ever thankful for every breath that I take.
Having said that I do also mean that I have also confronted deaths, my indecisive moments, my failures, my unhappy situations and surroundings, my illnesses, my low self-esteem, so on and so forth.
Yet I feel blessed. I feel happy. I feel contented because life is beautiful. And it shows all it colors and hues that might be dark as well as bright.
About me
Holding a masters degree in Mass Communication and a diploma in Nursery teachers’ training along with a few other diploma and certificate programs, I do love to write about Travel, Photography, Food, Nature, Life, Mindfulness, Books and whatever interests me.
After working as a media professional [audio-visual presenter (news and views), print journalist] for some years, I am a freelance writer now.
My journey toward solid food
Guess my love for clicking pictures and getting clicked started way back when I was as tiny as a mouse…
That picture was taken during my rice (pudding)-eating ceremony named Annaprashana (‘Anna’ means rice ‘prashana’ means ceremony).
My love for recitation
I am a writer, learner, empath, friend, mother, wife, daughter rolled in one, passionate about life and nature and everything in between. I love to recite, laugh out loud, reminisce the past, believe in self care, and click moments.
Playdate with granny
The best time of my life…no worries, only eat, play and sleep…and of course, posing and getting clicked…good ol’ days!
Wah Taj!
This fellow has breathed new meaning into our life ever since he is born.
In loving company of friends
They say, “…September-born are lovely and make the best of friends. These articulate people care about those around them…”
Guess it holds true in my case, too! I do love my friends, come what may.
A Lasith Malinga fan
An ardent Malinga fan, I wore this vibrant wig along with the heart-shaped goggles on my 10th Board silver jubilee get-together. What fun it was!
Date with Paradise on Earth
The tiny me with my parents while visitng Kashmir.
My love for history and architecture
A travel and movie buff, I love to read anything, sometimes stubborn/judgemental/emotional, scribble on inane things, and optimistically try to caption the photographs I take or the ones I like because I believe without caption, the beauty seems incomplete.
Sibling love
Sibling love is so precious. I treasure this capture.
Festivals of colors
After playing Holi to the fullest, I felt like that I should take a picture. Who knew that I would be posting it here on Medium!
The Three-generation DILs
This family photo is unique in itself. All three saree-clad, and all three covering heads with saree pallu (the free end of saree), I also notice that we are actually wearing the colors of our National Flag — saffron, white and green.
Prized possession
The priceless possession of mine. Some two years back, Ma gave it to me asking to preserve it. Since then it’s with me.
Tom & Jerry couple
Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood- Oscar Wilde
How thoughtful of you, Sir! And how I wish that all gentlemen should think just like Mr. Wilde, nothing more, nothing less!!
Childhood friends
My most valuable antiques are my dear old friends.
Nature lover
They say “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” I try to adapt to the adage. Every day.
My love for photographs
I started practicing how to click photographs under the tutelage of Baba (father) in his old-modeled Pentax long long back and the rest is history.
My dream
It’s my dream to ride a Harley Davidson bike (even a Royal Enfield bullet bike would do!) someday while traversing through the mighty Himalayas. And that $1000-dream selfie would be uploaded too with a befitting backstory (wink wink…)!!
Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom- Aristotle
Thanks heaps and heart full of love JoAnn Ryan for the beautiful and invigorating prompt of selfie wonder to let other friends of the fraternity know one another better.
I literally dug into my photo folders to strain out these handful while experiencing a whole lot of varied emotions…quite a stressbuster it was ❤! Many thanks to In Living Color team too.
By the way, all stories related to the photos shared here are true to the best of my knowledge (specially reagarding my childhood photos, I got the facts and the figures cross-checked by Maa as mommies can never ever go wrong about their kids ❤ …hahhahaa!!)
