LOVE COMES FULL CIRCLE



As I sit here, fiddling with my nails, camera or coffee...feet tapping away to ward of the butterflies in my stomach...I am left a little shaken.

I am waiting, not patiently i should add, for an important photography assignment. My brain is reminding me that I can't mess this up. It's telling me to buckle up and do good. My heart is silently watching this chaos. In the midst of this nerve-wracking tug-of-war i look up only to realise that i am in the same mall i got my first camera from. 

 I guess it was 3 years ago..if not more. Things were at a low point in my life. I had said my goodbyes to the person who inspired me the most in the world. I sat next to him, day after day, eyes following his every move.I cried when he did, and i laughed when he would. He was a photographer and the best one in my eyes! 

 I'd never considered photography before this. Never thought i'd hold a camera and love disappearing behind it so much. As i sit here in the same coffee shop, where i had come after buying the camera, i'm reminded of the silly dream i had years ago. I had dreamt of being his protégée...of him handing me over his camera. Of excitedly exclaiming to everyone around me that i am the master now! I realise now that in a weird and funny way, he did tell me what to do.

 That was the first time I came this side of town. This was the second.

 And just like that...I realised he's doing the same today. Reminding me that at no point, this is going to be work for me. It's my first love. It's our shared love. I am back where i started from, and i should always keep in my heart the joy that 'firsts' give.

I'm not really sure what this post was meant to be. I was thinking a lot today. And i guess i just needed to talk.

MAKE IT | SPRAY PAINTED JAR CANDLES (part 02)

In a previous post , we made beautiful spray painted heart jars. Here is part two of the tutorial where I turn those same jars into decadent smelling candles. You need: Candle wax of your choice Candle wick Mason Jar (Follow the tutorial here ) Fragrance Oil  Before you begin, be sure you have the appropriate type and size of the wick. If your jar is wide, make sure wick is wide enough in diameter to burn optimally. And, if its narrow and long, make sure the length of the wick is sufficient enough.  Measure out the amount of wax needed. For this project, I melted the wax in a make-shift double boiler made from two metal containers—one small and one large. Fill water in the large container. Put the wax in the smaller container and place it in the larger one. Melt the wax on low to medium-low heat. Never leave melting wax unattended! While the wax is melting, secure your wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Dip the end in the melting wax and a...

THE MIXTAPE PROJECT / 01

I've been working on this series idea for a while now and finally it's here! The Mixtape Project, a series to document interesting people, their music choices and their personal quirk. Here is my first guest for today... MAYANK KUMAR / DELHI If you could pick one, which superhero would you be?  I don't really follow the superhero concept but if I had to, I guess i'd pick Batman. That's simply because of his sharp mind and his ability to solve humongous issues with just his mere intellect. What would your DJ name be?  Can't imagine myself behind a console wearing earphones bigger than my face. But I guess 'Max' would do? Or just M? What's your favourite joke?  A jealous haryanavi man opened his own momos shop right next to the famous 'Yo! China' and named it 'Yo! Bhi China'. What's the weirdest nickname people call you? Mickey. My first birthday cake had a Mickey Mouse on it. And that's where the name ...
