Captured in January 2019
.
I began this year taking photography more seriously! I moved to Manual mode of the camera and experimented so much with post editing of raw pictures. .
I captured this picture while taking a stroll at sunset in a park in Bangalore. I was so excited after clicking these pictures that I could not wait to transfer these to my phone and send to my friend for feedback. Instead I captured picture of the picture in camera for instant feedback and a little praise 🤭.. swipe to see an example of what I mean 🤦🏾‍♀️
.
Btw are you also thinking of a similar challenge for yourself?? Don't know what I mean?? .. check the previous post ➡️⬇️

A looooonnggg pending Hellooo!!!
.
I had been keeping busy with personal stuff and was totally enjoying gadget free life! There were days when I didn't even touch my phone - it was more of all-day reading that I completely fell in love with!
.
Anyhow so unlike all past years, I decided to revisit everything good and not so good thay happened this year - especially all the tiny ones that we generally tend to miss.
The challenge though is : Good events are either captured in pictures or etched in memories, but it will be difficult to jot down what went bad! 🤭
.
Coming up with the first story in the next post ⬅️⬆️

It sits all day here, undisturbed by the surroundings. Sits quietly and may be observes all that happens around, and absorbs it all, without a single reaction.
.
A perfect example of - appearing strong and holding on to the calm and poise.
.
One fine evening when I was at home in Bangalore, I decided to stand in the balcony and enjoy a nice sunset. It is then that I saw this mighty bird and ran to my room to get my camera.
.
Just when I captured this picture, there was a sudden flow of joy in me - I could see and realise there is so much beauty around that will stick in your mind and be with you forever to brighten you up!

I think it's a little too soon to realise that I am ageing. But when I am old, I want to have wrinkles a lot of smile wrinkles to remind me of all the happy thankful times I have ever had - #randomthoughtoftheday .

#throwback
A sweet shy Garhwali Farmer. We met her on our way to Deoria Tal in Uttrakhand. I requested her if I can take her picture, reluctantly she said yes. You can actually see that shyness clearly in the way she is smiling!
.
It's moments like these I crave when traveling - striking a conversation with locals and listening to their stories.

This time last year was my first snow trekking experience in a small quiet town of Chopta. This picture however is taken at the scenic Deoria Tal.
.
Videos of this trip are emotionally engaging and my favorites. And the post informational with breathtaking pictures of white snow and clouds.

Meanwhile the video for the last stop of South India travel series is still under progress. Had been caught up with some other work lately.
But I hope to publish it very soon.
PS: Finding the right music to convey an emotion of a clip is the most difficult task 🤦🏾‍♀️
If you are a video editor, you might know🤭

They say Growing Up is Hard, and it sometimes truly is!
I have had extremely low phases twice in the last four years. I don't know if those were cases of depression or mental stress, but it wasn't great for sure. I'd welcome mornings with tear-filled eyes, experience the feeling of helplessness and confusion, and pretend to be tough at times and try to let out the plethora of emotions at others.
.
Fortunately, I had a very caring family and a group of friends with me during both these times. They'd be patient and listen to me crib over small things, listen to my needless tantrums, and also continue to push me towards positive thinking.
.
The other day I was talking to a friend when he said, lack of communication and support from loved ones is one of the main reasons why suicides happen because of depression - the state when you are too full of emotions and don't have an outlet for them.
.
If you are one of those who are suffering from extreme inexplicable emotions, don't deny getting help. You'll definitely find someone who'll listen to you. You need to prepare yourself to talk and let out your emotions. If you are one of those whose support someone else is seeking, be ready to listen and be there for them.
Keep an open mind and listen to their stories, troubles, and pains.
Be a friend and not just an acquaintance!
.
I have joined Aman Iqbal in his movement to spread awareness related to mental health!
Let us all talk about our problems, and let us all be good listeners!
Let us be there for our friends!

Sunny weekends 😇
If you are from Bangalore you'll understand what I mean.
Do you enjoy the kind of weekend with books, coffee, and all-day laughter with friends or work, coffee, and dinner with friends, or simply chilling - food, Netflix, games, and gossip? 😅
.
I am spending my day with books, work, definitely coffee, and may be a few games with friends in the evening!

PS: If you are coffeeholic like me, grab yours from SLAY Coffee! Serving in Bangalore and Mumbai - order and enjoy the best coffee for every mood! (Link in bio)

The best part about travel documentation is that you can live all those moments again. Right now I am editing Rameswaram vlog (last of the South India series) and the clips have taken me back to the time I was in the city.
I was really tired by the time I reached Rameswaram, but the amazing experiences I was having, the beautiful people I was meeting, the gorgeous places I was seeing kept me going. And the only moment I felt tired was when I reached my hotel.
.
But in general, some places amaze you and then there are some places that leave you moved by the inexplicable beauty!

The land also known as 'The Ghost Town'. The land where 200 families live even after the floods washed it away. The land which was once a big city, is now a secluded extension of another big city. The land where people fill their tummies by selling fish or by selling food and water to the drained tourists!
Do you know this land in India? The land surrounded by waters connecting to another country!

Coffee is my go-to drink and accompaniment to all kinds of food. It's a treat for me if I work a little harder or have a mini achievement 😅
Do you also reward your when you get something long-pending done or have a satisfactory day work wise??

I slayed my day with a some Madras mud 😎

Tried to capture all the peaceful elements in one frame - the temple with its white in the middle of blues of the sky and the beach, the greens of the trees, adorned with the colors of Rangoli!

Really excited for the upcoming video of Kanyakumari. This picture was captured at my favourite spot. The place is a short drive from the city centre and is not very famous amongst tourists!
.
Can you guess this place in Kanyakumari??
