Here is my new blog.... Lights!!!!
So today is a festival of Lights, DIWALI...
Let me first wish you a very very very HAPPY DIWALI... :)
Hope you all are celebrating this festival of Lights with great joy and enthusiasm. Keep it up. :)
Hmmm.... So this festival of Lights has provided me an opportunity to click some snaps. And after clicking these snaps, I once again realized that Photography is not at all easy thing to do. But if something is your hobby, then you don't think if that thing is easy or difficult. You just do it :).
Now this festival of Lights provided me an opportunity to catch the Crackers in one frame. And I tell you, I am not able to catch a single cracker properly. Still I want to share my efforts with you. Catching the crackers in a single frame requires the great timing. And not only that, as it is not a steady thing, you need to have great patience to wait for that exact moment.
Till now, after looking at some of these first 2-3 photographs, you should have a fair idea of what I am talking about :).
Meanwhile, at every Diwali, when I look around, I feel that this festival of Lights is loosing its importance every year. The Diwali before 15 years and the Diwali now definitely have great differences. Many of you may also have this feeling.
When I try to find the reasons, the few things which come to my mind are:
* Before 15 years, at every Diwali, there was a fascination of new cloths, sweets, crackers etc etc. The fascination of these things was there, because these things didn't use to happen so frequently in a year. But now, if you see, these things happen frequently. People go for shopping frequently, people eat sweets frequently, people play crackers even if India wins a cricket match :).
* The second reason I find is the speed with which the world is changing. And in turn, the competition is increasing. And in turn, the people are running to stay in this competition. Today is an era of 24X7 work. And we need to work 24X7, so what even if we have to miss the biggest festival of year. Today, most of the people are staying away from their homes for earning their bread and butter. I have many examples in front of me, who don't get leaves to go to their homes to celebrate this festival. (Fortunately, I didn't face this situation yet :)). [Please don't take this as a negative thing. One should compete and compete hard..to win. I am doing the same thing :)]
The above thoughts are mine only and I know are very immature. I don't know till what extent those are correct or wrong. Because people elder than me may have different thoughts and small children may have different thoughts. Again, there are people in this world, who don't shop frequently, or don't eat sweets frequently, or don't play crackers frequently. Some people even have to struggle for Do Waqt Ki Roti. Such people may even have some different thoughts. Husshhhhhhhhh................
Now you must be getting bored with these so called THOUGHTS. :)
So let's come back to our original point, Photography. By this time, you must have realized that I become somewhat better with catching these crackers in a frame.
While doing the night photography, I always find a need of Tripod, which I don't have yet :(. But will buy soon :).
So will just say that keep the culture alive. Remember that Diwali is of 5 days - Dhanatrayodashi, Narak Chaturdashi, Bali Pratipada, Laxmi Pujan and Bhau Bij (All are marathi names of the Diwali days). And don't forget to celebrate these 5 days with joy and entusiasm.
Keep the Light Alive in yourself :).
Once again WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY DIWALI !!!!
As always, don't forget to put your comments :).
