Finally found YOU!

No doubt, reading the title any normal human will think that i finally found someone. But lemme tell you, here I am talking about a place I recently discovered . It's  beach basically in Mumbai. We had an outdoor class for photography and our professor took us there.
We started early morning 6 A.M., reached Versova fishing village by 7 and hence started with our random photography.

I was a bit upset as I am very passionate about photography after my profession Jewellery and I wasn't carrying a camera but guess what ! I got a dslr to handle. No doubt that was my Institute's property but for those 5 hours it was my property. I had to face a few problems handling that camera but ultimately I was able to capture Ultimate moments. This village reminded me of Belgharia in kolkata.
I always wanted to go and capture moments of people in a fishing village somewhere or the other with a troop of photographers and this was the day!

But all my happiness has one big hindrance, the foul smell of the fishes. This was the worst because there people dry fishes. A person not habituated in such location might feel sick and may faint.

Still we managed.
3-4 of us almost finished one of my friends deo. We kept on spraying on us for numerous times.
Then we boarded the ferry to cross the water and reached to this place mud island.
No doubt that smell wasn't tolerable but I am lucky enough that I got the opportunity of visiting  a place like that. I would have never discovered it.

We boarded the bus.. fun with the group.. then we walked down those empty roads clicking so many things.
I almost captured everything in my camera.
We were searching for Mud beach and then we reached.
First time in Mumbai I was  at a place where couples weren't sitting hand in hand or kissing passionately ,etc. Being honest that's the first thing I hate about the city.

Here there we fished being dried up in the sun on long bamboos placed horizontally like as we leave the clothes to dry.
That was a moment !
I felt like shouting Eurekaa!!!!
But didn't ofcorse.

Although I may not visit the place again but still I am thankful to out professor Sunil Sir, who took us there.
Best day at from my institute .

Will be uploading the images soon.

Nostalgic

Hi,
writing after a long time... thanks to my friend Manas , he reminded me that I have a blog !


Many things happened overtime , good & bad both!

I learnt so many things
Well , the most important thing that happened in my life is the 'Trekking Expedition'.
That made me walk one step further towards my dream. Everyone dreams to have a great job , life , etc. etc. , but definition to my dreams is totally different.
Even i haven't ever realised that what I consider as my dream is it one , or still i have to discover the real one. Whatever it is, what matters to me is the present.

I won't say that I don't think about future. I do! That's a normal behaviour of a human being , to consider our future while one thinks about the present.
While facing dillemas I reach to this above stated situation but at the end I think of living my present.

Yeah so I was talking about my Trekking Expedition to Himalayan range, that was in Himachal Pradesh.
There were moments of "deja vu" ... where I lived my dreams of being in a forest , that canopy in the forests , etc. I made great friends . I witnessed the start of a beautiful love story, got that pamper from a big brother and what. I was totally living in my dream. Having lunch amidst the forest , sitting by the side of a waterfall in which chilled water from the north was flowing . What else can you imagine of !
That was the moment I became myself .
Earlier I used to live , or you can say did tend to live someone else's life by taking suggestions ,etc. I was lacking that confidence withing me. But now I am confident enough to stand alone for myself. I learnt so many other small things.
After returning I learnt the art of not expecting things to happen, which ultimately made me realise that things that are meant to happen will certainly happen, whether one wants it or not.
Life didn't stop but I became part of a group with dozen members that did become an important part of my book of life.

I started with my schedule and guess what ! a big challenge was waiting for me , Marketing project presentation. That was one of those big things happening in the 3 yrs of my diploma course.
I worked hard, day an night . I will never forget how 3 of my dearest friends helped me to cross this bridge very succesfully.
 Manas , Forum & Santosh , thanks for all your support.. Well I need to mention that even forum was a part of it and I won't step back to accept that she was a big confidence factor in the situation.
Thanks from the depth of my heart. After all the hardwork , we were rewarded.
I do agree i bitched about some bitches but on the long run I again realised that world is full of people who'll come, take credits and walk away , but those who realise and feel the victory lasts forever. I want to be a part of them. We stood first. That trophy is the first real trophy of my life.
I always dreamt of that!


Then again after a long time I visited my home.  I really enjoyed my vacation which I took on my own when I was missing some important classes!


These were the main things.
While in this long span of time, I discovered myself more deeply.
I learnt that there are many things I am capable of but lack of confidence is keeping me behing. There was a situation when I raised my voice in a protective manner infront of dozen unknown people. I understood that it is very easy to say Yes but saying No is one of the most difficult task. I understood very important thing that things done cosidering others happiness and not yours isn't a great thing. That's being coward.

I realised that I love a guy who isn't made for me, who isn't like me and who isn' t ready to do and except those small things that brings a smile on my face, who isn't considering me as an important priority. Truly speaking I was all heartbroken but again, my life didn't stop. I have the support of few very important people of my life, my maa, sister , forum, manas , santosh, mishika....these are few people who in their absence also tend to make me happy. That's the real meaning of happiness :)


Then one day me and Manas were discussing regarding our nearing future life where we'll have jobs and the negative vibes were surrounding us, but after a few weeks my cellphone blinked for a notification : " manas- i have my interview tomorrow"
that urge for happiness when you see your friend nearing to his dreams/ or can say the thing which he/she wants for that moment, the happiness and the joy in unexplainable.



These things alhtough explained in a very short manner have their own imporatce and taught me many lessons in their own way.

Preapring for my 4th semester exams & visitng bangalore for my dearest vatsav dada's marriage who's again gift from my trekking expedition..
