Picture Talk – A Birthday Dish

Hey! Hello my readers. I have seen many blogs who do picture talk. So basically they write about what they feel and understand by just looking at pictures. Some picture talks were awesome. I never thought that this picture would give you such a message. While some picture talks were ok types. So, I’m trying my best and this is my first time that I am doing a picture talk.

Firstly, here is my picture.

Here are my views on this picture:
First of all, this picture reminds me of my childhood days. Yes, this was the way we used to celebrate birthdays. No parents, no return gifts, no fancy party, even no fancy dresses, just a few unhealthy items and one drink. That time our all time favourite drink was Rasna. Rasna is a mango drink and was very reasonable at that time. In cake, we all loved only Black Forest and Monginis was the one which was our favourite.

We kids never forget our friend’s birthday. We were more excited when we got to know that there are two birthday parties. We celebrated birthdays obviously by cutting cakes and then solo dances and then somewhat like club dance. The host’s parents never interrupted any party. The max time was 9pm. We all were obedient kids those days. We never asked for a return gift as for us, the food was only the return gift. The birthday food consists of a small piece of cake, potato wafers, potato samosa or potato vada, not more than 2 hard-chewable chocolates. That’s it. I don’t remember much, But we kids never asked for more pieces of cakes or chocolate or any other item. The Birthday party of those days!!!

Now my actual views because I am blogger and I have to give you all a lecture.
Whether it be a birthday party, or any small get together, this platter says “five fingers are not the same, yet stay together”. The combination of cake and potato chips are very unhealthy yet we enjoy balancing the taste. Without wafers, the sweet taste of cake becomes somewhat of a nightmare, after some time. So in life, You need to change yourself, in order to look attractive and presentable. We need to keep on changing our hairstyle or dressing sense because being in the same avatar for a long time becomes boring.

Then comes the drink. The drink is again sweet in taste, But now our throat is full of small particles and we want it to get removed. Also, the drink removes the existing taste from the mouth. Same way, sometimes it is necessary to remove the stuff from our house or from our life, in order to welcome the new good things in our house or life. Even though the old things are good, but change is necessary. Change is good. The cherries in cake, some kids don’t like this and they remove it. So, what’s the use of life if we don’t have some problems in it? The hard chewable chocolates are like the people from our very first peoples, whom we can’t ignore and still like them. These people are very difficult to understand but have a sweet nature by heart.

Conclusion (because the lecture should end)
Enjoy the birthday dish with a spoon, or with your hands. All will be together in your stomach, in your life. The next morning, you have to flush in order to eat some other food. So discard old items and buy new ones. Life and death are part and parcel of our lives. We have to accept the one whom we lost and accept the new people in our life.

A Few Clicks To Remember 

Hello my fabulous readers. When I was enthusiastic, I had a habit of clicking pictures of everything. Whether it was a party, outings or just a casual meet, I never forget to click pics. Some people disliked this, because I had a habit of clicking their pictures without their permission. Obviously, It was bad because sometimes, the picture portrayed some different situation, some different story. But I never shared such pics with anyone, but yes I have shared the rest of the pics. I even blackmailed my friends with those pics. In a joking way, of course.

Not only that, I was very fond of the newly launched mobile with a high tech camera. Long back, I had even bought one. I still have that mobile in working condition. But because of rising technology and the internet, I had to buy a new phone because of this 4G-5G support. Yes, but this time, I didn’t buy it with my money. and also, by that time, I started losing my interest in technology.

Over time, I started losing interest in capturing moments too. Now-a-days, I am too lazy to click pics. Also, I find it boring to pose for someone, to be in a pic. Whether it is clouds, or shades of lights on water, even some print on bedsheets, I had clicked all. Whether food, my new haircut, or some xyz statue, I didn’t leave any stone to capture it. By the way, I have clicked  pics of stone too. People said, enjoy the moment, don’t waste it by clicking pics. True, But memories do come back when we see photos. As such, I don’t remember some places that I had visited a long time back. But when I see the pics, I recollect all the places. Thanks to google, for giving us notification of photos memories. We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise it’s gone.

When I see my old pics of some vacation, I sometimes laugh. Because the way I dress  was funny. But sometimes, I also see the accessories I had worn that time. The nails, nail paint, the hairband, not so messy hair, the shoes, the watch, etc. and sometimes shocking because I really don’t know where these accessories are? Because some dresses I still wear. And Because, I had visited this place too.

I am not at all a professional photographer. I don’t have a DSLR. I had one digital camera. and I carried it once in the Mumbai rains. RIP. My digital camera, you will be missed, always. I had always clicked snaps from my mobile. When Nokia was ruling, I had this awesome phone. Don’t remember the model number, but it was a flap mobile. The camera quality and also the zoom quality was awesome. But I don’t know how I lost it. But now with this latest mobile, I don’t know what’s wrong with this. The camera quality is good at start, but when you update the software, it loses all its quality, even some features. So it happened with my latest mobile too. Now, the camera quality is not so good.

So what’s great in clicking pics? When a professional photographer clicks your photos, he or she makes sure that you feel good, look good and special in that photograph. All your emotions come out, when you see your own inner image. But when a roadside photographer, like me, clicks your photos, You will either be laughing or you will find the devil inside you. But on a serious note, after a few years, you will feel great that you have not clicked, but you have captured the memories. You have arrested the memories.
