The Joy of Pictures
I was going through my old food pics and wondering how did storytelling through pictures become a redundant concept! I felt the most happiest when I posted photos, the joy of clicking the food from different angles, buying food props, finding vintage props in Chor Bazaar etc was something I indulged in. And once I posted, the kind of soulful interactions that happened was something I used to look forward to. I would write something about that particular food, and someone would offer a different insight to the whole thing.
I know I sound like our grandparents who often talked about how life was back then. But I can’t help, but wish for a slow paced life. The meaningful conversations, the happiness of reading a book and pondering about the characters, the way one could walk aimlessly just for some fresh air. I know it’s wishful thinking… and yet I find myself wishing!
