Serene

It was the calm before the storm.

These pictures were clicked by me during my stay in Srinagar, Kashmir, India.

In the pictures, you can see the shikara boats rowing there way back to their lake houses. While everyone one was rushing before the storm approached, I took a moment and captured these serene, aesthetic pictures.

The water, the clouds, the boats, the sunset.. everything just adds to the frame. It was a beautiful experience standing on the shore, living the quitness and calmness of the Dal lake.

Hence, I would like to present my pictures for this week’s theme : Serene

Hope you like the pictures. Happily accepting comments and feedback

Who am I ?

The more I try answering this question, the more jumbled and lost I feel. It is not about my identification,it is about what I am . It is not about what I did or what I plan to do, it is about the lessons I’ve learnt, the experiences that make me grow.

Talking about me, I am a tiny soul trying to figure things out. This world is too big and complicated at every step. Why are things the way they are? why can’t we get off the track and lose ourselves? why do you must have a perfect education, a perfect job, a perfect salary? why do you have to live that imperfect perfection?

I am just a small atom in this big universe, I’ve made mistakes, done things right but that doesn’t define me, they just help me grow. At the age of 18, I currently don’t know who I am! Maybe it is too early to answer. I’m on a journey to discover the soul inside my body.

I might appear to be happy on the outside, but there is a constant struggle inside me to find eternity, to find love, to find laughter, to find happiness..

Reading the above sentences, you might ask ‘who is life?’, there will days that I will answer ‘life is short and too much to live, but it is beautiful’ , on the other days, I might answer ‘Ah! life is a struggle’. What I have realized is that life is nothing but a series of moments. Nothing can be constant, there are beautiful moments and times but eventually life cannot be perfect altogether! Just like, you cannot say ‘I am happy” all the time, happiness is an emotion, not a constant feeling, your constant feeling is ‘blank’ and there are different emotions to fill it up like anxiety, excitement, sadness etc. Similarly, life is shit as well as great. 🙂

On an ending note,You and I have one life but many years and millions of days. Go out there, find yourself. Make sure that when you 90 and cannot move, you have loads of stories to tell. Make sure you do not regret the chances that never took, because risk is all that is meant to live for. And finally! answer the question.. Who am I?

Stay here with, because I have miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep.
