THE PHOTOGRAPHER-I

"One of the best feelings is to accept your unfortunate & faulty scars and loving yourself to the fullest and  then refining yourself."

"Hushhhh!!!! what a tiring day it was!!!!" spoke Riya to herself, while taking a sip of coffee.Then she turned around to see all the people present there, in the cafe house. Girls,boys,grown ups,all giggling and living there lives happily, she observed. She took out her phone and started updating her whatsapp story "mentally and physically tired!!!!". "Hey, may I sit here".Riya lifted her head from her phone and saw another girl, perhaps older than her, asking to share the same table. Riya nodded a yes.

"Excuse me, could you tell me how many kilo metres is Gurugram away."

"7.5 kilo metres."

"So I guess, I need to wait for this awesome rain to get over" she smiled.

" Awesome!!!! seriously!!!! rain appears to me as something through which I get gloomy vibes. And perhaps it creates a problem also, example for people like you."

"You are tricked.Its only our point of view that changes according to the situation.If we are happy, the rain will appear as an appease and if we are sad, the rain drops will pinch us like thorns."

"Another true fact!!!! you seem to be a very practical and intelligent girl."

"Nopes, I am only a sorted person, clear about my life and aspirations."

"Okay.... cool....So like what kind of photos you capture."

"I capture everything I like.Professionally I am a fine art photographer.But I like capturing the nature most.You know why? Because this nature is so beautiful and take the example of moon, the best thing about gazing the moon is that it takes us to another world, a serene world and we never know when we are going to return back from that beautiful world.Okay enough of photography,tell me about your C.A. work."

"Well I am interning as mentioned earlier.Lots and lots of balance sheets and my boyfriend says....".She stopped in between and put her head down.After a minute of silence, Aditi said, "Now I understand, why the world is appearing so gloomy and grey to you."
