In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality. Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is.
In my childhood, I had a dream of travelling to all the places around the world, but ended up travelling to school and home, not even to friends place. I had a dream of becoming a cricketer, but without any encouragement I ended up being an extra player. I had a dream of becoming a singer, but ended up singing in the bathroom. I also had a dream of becoming an artist in painting, but ended up without any colors.
My childhood has completed with all the dreams left as dreams only in the race of marks.
I don’t remember how my intermediate is completed.
Then I graduated as a Mechanical Engineer, which is the only thing I have done according to my will at that time. During my graduation, like most of all I have only one dream of getting a placement in the campus and earn decent money and settle in life.
But, that is also a dream right?
After that without any expectations and mere hopes I joined as a teacher, as responsibilities become more important than dreams. With couple of years passed I had a thought that,
Is this really what I want?
Is this really what I dreamt of?
I realized that may be I am the one who should be blamed of not turning the dreams into reality. That day I remembered my first dream of travelling.
But, yet again I had a thought of how people will know that I succeeded?
How they will know that I made my dreams possible?
I realized that I need to do something about it, I need to make the dreams possible but not left as just dreams.
My journey as a Photographer started that day and this time I didn't left it as a dream and I am living with it in reality.
This is my success story. Yes I am succeeded. Success is not what others judge you about, it is what you feel strong about yourself.
