Instagram post 2193658329435705907_1537617137 Good event #2 of 10 in 2019
.
I was in Bangalore in the beginning of this year and I occasionally bought coconut water on my way to or back from cafes. I would take a plastic straw everytime I had coconut water without giving a thought to how this tiny action is impacting environment at a greater scale.
It is then, @footloose.forever advised me to buy a reusable straw.
.
Now I carry a straw and tiny spoons(again thanka to @footloose.forever) everytime I am out traveling and try to consume as less plastic as possible -- SWIPE TO SEE.
.
Have you brought similar tiny changes in your lives?

Instagram post 2192989566017147174_1537617137 Not so good event #1 of 10 in 2019
.
This year had overall been a little hard both professionally and personally. The enthusiasm I had when I left my job was slowly decreasing. But then I had very supportive family and friends who constantly motivated me when I felt low. .
In January I faced my first rejection of working with a photography group because of less social media following. The silver lining - I became aware of similar opportunities that existed. And I understood the path of content creation is not too easy without enough following 🤭
.
Fast forward to today - I still don't have big numbers to show for my social media following, but I have work that speaks for itself 😇 .

Instagram post 2192212520282100643_1537617137 Captured in January 2019
Good event #1 of 10 in 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 ➡️⬇️

Instagram post 2192208154070392680_1537617137 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 ⬅️⬆️

Instagram post 2183356541834732576_1537617137 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!

Instagram post 2172632429185207972_1537617137 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 to my trip to Thailand with @footloose.forever and then strangers, and now very good friends @deveshsatija @hbornfree @_rajatprakash_

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.
