and then life happens...


Photographing children is just so difficult. They can’t hold a single expression for more than a second.

Last weekend, I was holding the camera, focussing at something so cute, I thought it’s a moment I want to freeze and keep forever. I pressed the shutter, only to realise that the precious moment I wanted to capture, was long gone.

And then I looked at the photo, after which I couldn’t stop smiling!! I found much more beautiful emotions captured in my camera than the ones I was trying to freeze. It was priceless

Just as priceless as life, where most of the times we are running behind things we think will be great for us, will change our lives for the better, will bring us all the happiness we ever want!

But what we get is totally different and so much more beautiful.

Just the same seems to be happening to my life too right now. All those things I wanted a few years ago, all those things I thought could make my life perfect...I got none of them.

And all those things I had not expected at all, have happened! And they have brought me so much joy, that now I wouldn’t want to trade them for any dream on earth.

But at the same time, I don’t want to fight to keep them either. Because now I know, the unexpected is always better ...very exciting and a lot more fun!!

paulomi ghosh said...

yes...very nicely written.....often it happens with me....5 years ago the thing i wanted I never got but now I can clearly see why I didnot get them. My today is more beautiful that what I had planned for myself.

and the way you compared with a child`s emotion is just praiseworthy.
