The church

When I was a kid , I used to think Churches are the ones meant for distributing chocolates, cakes and sweets.

And my friends who adopted Christianity, used to get colorful notebooks, greeting cards (which were never found in local stores) and small small gifts from different countries!

As a kid, we used to enjoy the cakes brought by our friends on the occasion of new year and Christmas!

As I Grow up, I used to visit church with my friends..during Christmas or some or other time when it's decorated  with colors and lights. 12th was the time, we visited for photoshoot there and I still have the hard copies of those photographs !

By the time I moved Bombay, I had an opportunity to explore the beautiful churches over there. I almost visited 10+ different old churches.. Attended the mass with my friend merlyn  in those Sunday mornings and it was such a beautiful memory I have ever preserved!

Till date, I have a collection of photographs of visiting 30 different churches all over India, starting from kerala, tamilnadu, bombay, Odisha, goa, pondicherry and others.

Here at Hyderabad, when ever I get a chance to visit a church, I never miss the opportunity and I love visiting there  on  a Sunday!

Love. Live. Laugh.

Winter : my warmest of memories!

When the rest of the world is turning fog 

out of boiling water with polar vertex challenge, 

I am amused by the 

shivering cold winter breeze, 

that my city is experiencing 

after decades or so. 

My whatsapp status kept changing from "is this already winter in Hyderabad" to  

"this is exactly what I meant, when I say I love winter", referring to the drop of lowest temperature from 18°C to 9°C or so. 

To be honest, I love winter❤️❤️.. 

Like I truly Do!

It's so much engraved in my soul... 

Like.. I became equally happy and nostalgic every morning..

 Every evening and every moment 

I feel winter has arrived. 

Like.. Being a January baby and 

being from a city I was born and brought up having all the extreme cold and cyclonic waves all the time, 

you just can't stop enjoying rain and winter. 

In addition to that, the weather over there is mostly affected by the low pressure and 

also the sudden rain because of the missile testing at ITR, Balasore,

 will surely end up addicting you with the winter! 

The childhood was beautiful 

And those days were magical.

 Like, I remember each and everything starting from waking up early to going to bed early.. 

Riding a cycle and going to tuitions and 

college with friends and it was loving.. 

The days were so beautiful and I could literally  see the yellow flowers [ a very similar type of sunflower, but little small in size]

 blooming all the way... 

The colourful jacket that we were wearing...

The jokes we cracked.. 

And the classes we missed..

 The birthdays we planned..

 And the moments we cherished..!!

 Those are all memory now... 

And they are the warmest of memories 

I will ever have!

So whenever they say winter is cold, 

 It's never cold.

It is cold for them who does not have warm memories! ❤️❤️❤️

What is the warmest of memories you have?!
