That's Chemistry!

A pure bond that ties them together. When one chirps with happiness, the other follows with giggles. When one speaks up her mind, the other echoes the very same thought. One takes up for the other if she feels her mirror image is under attack. The visible umbilical chord that once bound them together is long gone, but the invisible one still stays.

They are two little six year old twins whose lives revolve around each other and their treasured toys. As the ‘complicated and convoluted’ things are yet not on their minds, the source of happiness for these twins is the pink Barbie doll and to my pleasant surprise, photography!

First a little hesitant about facing the camera, they soon gave in to the glam quotient. They gave the most bizarre and wacky expressions. The chemistry between the sisters guaranteed the cutest and the funniest pictures. The mother, who for the longest time was trying her best to convince her daughters to keep a straight face for the photograph also couldn’t help smiling at her crazy daughters. :)

Getting set to click away!

A whole new world is going to be formed. The way to look at the world to going to change. It will now be in frames and the people will turn into objects to be photographed. I welcome my new Sony digital camera into my life and also introduce myself to photography. Happy clicking away!

Getting clicked!

Once the camera starts rolling, the grumpiest of faces break into a smile. The laziest of creatures with full vigor start flexing their bodies into weird poses. And the shyer ones of the lot turn red but still manage a sweet smile. Such is the power of photography.

This is what I realized on my recent visit to Khandala. No matter how much you hate your boss, you are always ready to be clicked with him/her. The fake love and affection is sudden. On the bus, in the grass, beside the lake, with the ruins… just everywhere. The moment someone says, ‘hey! I am taking a pic; you’d see people rush in front of the camera. The expressions ranges from a nervous smile to the roaring laughter; from the sane standing to the crazy pushing and pulling; from the contemplative looks to ‘dil chachta hai’ posing. Some girls couldn’t resist being clicked even while coming down the rope from top of a rock hill.

And why not? When the beautiful hills, green valleys and a clear blue sky provide for a perfect backdrop…
