And just like that it becomes all silent.
Our mind is full of thoughts all the time - there are ideas after ideas, concerns afters concerns, rushing rushing rushing to get things done, to find solutions and then you close your eyes let your mind be in a state of flow and you get what I said above - silence! #currentstateofmind 🤭

Moments like these when I run to get my camera and capture the moment. Got this picture a few nights back when the moon seemed too close and too bright(yes that's the moon behind the trees). I experimented a little bit with the angle and objects in frame and loved this final picture.

I never planned on starting a YouTube channel or creating video content. It all happened naturally. I had no specific goals in mind, I just wanted to create more visual content and share it with my audience.
.
I already had a blog that I was putting efforts in, I had just left my job (with no future planning whatsoever), and now I had a YouTube channel too!
.
I was overwhelmed with so many uncertainties in the beginning, and I still am. And at times, I have more work on my plate than I can handle. But to be honest, when I finish editing a video(or a blog post), it just makes me happy.
I have learned camera tricks, I have got better at taking video shots.
.
It gives me creative scope to build stories and entertain or educate my audience. It gives me the experience to shoot an idea from scratch and build a story around it - it gives me the freedom to be a director, an actor, and an editor. There's so much learning that goes into making one video.
.
PS: I am really excited about the upcoming video. I have tried something different in this one. To be released tomorrow on my YouTube channel. Stay Tuned. LINK IN BIO⬆️⬆️

Something I have been meaning to share since last

Something I have been meaning to share since last few months⤵️⤵️
.
Most of us feel uncomfortable talking about a woman's period or its associated effects. We generally avoid discussion around this topic, unless there is something urgent that we need to talk about it to our gynecologist.
.
Apart from the stigma around period, there are also jokes about women PMSing on days they are frustrated.
.
PMS is no joke, especially for some women!

Grandparents are special!
.
I wrote a few words for my grandmother when I lost her 11 years back. Found it last night while looking for some other past works of mine.
It's amazing how those words reminded me of the exact same feelings I had at the moment, and the pictures of her cremation came running to my mind.
Words are powerful - words are mysterious - words make a story - words bring back memories!
.
Read and let me know what you think 😊
.
PS: This what happens when you draw after months. Swipe to see how I was finally able to draw that little girl - adding innocence to her face was the most difficult 😆
.
Here is the poem:
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
I didn’t feel losing you
When you laid down all silent
I could see them wailing, crying, and weeping,
I didn’t feel the same
I could feel your presence
I thought you were there
With me, for me
Who knew, this would last no longer
I came out of my imaginative world
I found you perished away
Looking at your pale, calm face,
I realized I won’t see it again
And, we won’t ever meet again!

The last day of 2019 is almost coming to an end, and before it does end, I want to say thanks to all of you who have been a part of my journey - online/offline 🤓
And now coming to the last of the series ⤵️
.
Good event #10 of 10 in 2019
.
In the beginning of the good-bad series, I mentioned that this year was tough both professionally and personally. It took me enough time to work on myself and be stronger.
.
A Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, once said, "Letting go gives us freedom and freedom is the only condition for happiness."
Not being attached to stuff is difficult, but this year I finally let go of things, ideas, and people that I had to.
.
.
I am trying to put conscious efforts of not indulging in an extravagant lifestyle, and I hope I continue to in the coming years as well.
.
Here's to a happy, healthy, and fruitful year ahead! See you in 2020!

PS: I want to end this series with a good event, so... ⤵️

Not so good event #10 of 10 in 2019.
.
This year I ignored my skincare, especially when I traveled for 6 months straight in the first half of the year, exposing my skin to hot, humid, cold, and dry weather.
I am no skin expert here, but I know that we don't need any fancy beauty products for our skin, just some sunscreen, good food, lots of water, and a happy soul.
.
This coming year, take good care of your skin people and laugh a lot 😁

Are you a procrastinator?
.
Not so good event #9 of 10 in 2019.
.
This year like many past years, I have procrastinated in working on multiple tasks I had lined up for myself. Although deciding the day's schedule in advance helped me a tiny bit in achieving targets, but more or less, this habit of mine interfered with it.
.
I hope to come up with even better ways to be able to discipline myself more.

Good event #9 of 10 in 2019.
.
This morning I was talking to someone when we discussed why women sometimes do not support women even when they are right. That is when I remembered that throughout this year, through all my down phases, my women were with me - from family to friends. They were supporting and motivating - pushing me forward when I didn't want to or didn't know how to. And for all my achievements, big or small, they were there to clap for me and shout for me.
.
I have felt it more often than I have said it, that a group of women can be so strong together that no power can break the bond between them.
.
Thanks to beautiful ladies in my life. I hope we stick together forever and be a strength for each other.

Not so good event #8 of 10 in 2019.
.
I started a personal journal for the third or fourth time in my life. And although I continued writing in it for more days than the last attempts that I made, I stopped after about a month. .
It's a habit that needs time and deliberate effort to develop. I generally write in it on not so good days, but I hope a time comes when I scribble in it on super average days as well.
.
What about you? Do you maintain a personal journal?

2019 is hurriedly ending, and so is the time for me to share the good and bad things of this year 🤭 So you might see more than one posts in a day from me - sorry for spamming 😬
.
Anyway, coming to the Good event #8 of 10 in 2019.
.
This year I was able to complete an ~2-month travel across South India. It was fun, refreshing, empowering, but also scary and tiring. I started this journey on a whim, but I also suspected if I'll be able to end this successfully.
Apart from all the nice things - the beautiful scenic mountains, valleys, green gardens, waterfalls, and lakes, visits to temples and historic monuments, and interactions with locals, there were always moments of doubt and loneliness.
.
This is the longest I have traveled solo so far. My travel across Europe in 2018 lasted for a month, which is a few days less than this South India trip.
.
So dedicating this year to breaking boundaries 😁
.
PS: If you haven't watched the South India series - I have linked it to BIO. Do check it out 😊
I have put in a lot of hard work, and this whole trip is very close to my heart 😊
