Let’s talk about Inspiration, shall we?) You might be familiar with the magical experience of serendipitous inspiration. I mean, that eureka moment when it seems as though all the divine forces in the universe align together in your favour and the resulting coalition, for whatever reason, decide to endow your conscious mind — or maybe …

Living A Balanced Life
I was having a conversation with a friend last night when she asked me a very interesting question. “How do you manage to balance everything?… How do you manage to keep up with photography, running a blog, school, and your spiritual life?” To be honest, I wasn’t sure how exactly to answer her question.

The Thin Line Between Courage and Stupidity
“Courage is knowing it might hurt, and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same. And that’s why life is hard.” – Jeremy Goldberg I randomly stumbled on this quote within the week. I found it funny at first, and still do. But somehow, I couldn’t get it off my mind, so I decided I might …

Everything will come together with time, piece by piece.
January Recap: What I Learnt

I personally wish it went even slower — at least, while I still have this ‘student’ badge on. According to my school’s timetable, the first month of the year is always dedicated to taking exams for the first semester. …
The Art of Showing Up
One of the things I failed miserably at in the past, is being consistent. From attempting ‘Facebook blogging’ to launching a YouTube channel, and a host of other projects I have taken on and never saw through. Keeping at anything for that long has always seemed like a herculean task. For some reason, I couldn’t …
What is your Why? – Motives & Motivation
One of the consequences of being a photographer is that most of the time, you are left out of the picture. Pun intended:). Don’t get me wrong, I have been closely associated with the art of photography for about 3 years now and I totally love it, both as a hobby and professionally. However, one …
