Birth is like magic, that too of the purest form a woman can
experience. Birth is something that widens our thinking about
the world. It makes us realize that no matter how small things
are, they surely can hold a greater importance.
Many of us think that having babies is magical. But for a miracle
to happen, you don’t need a prayer or a wish granting kiss, you
just have to actually believe in it. The actual reason of it being
magical lies in the transitions one undergoes after it. It makes
the two rather carefree individuals more responsible and
mature towards life, not just for the sake of baby but also for
the bond they share with the baby. Through this journey of the
story of pregnancy, birth and the newborns, we hope that many
photographers will explore unique avenues related to the field.
And talking about the avenues and endeavors that a photographer can achieve, Julia has set a perfect
example for the upcoming and aspiring photographers. Her idea of photography defines much more
than just creating something new, but it pushes you to push the limits, to scourge the grounds for the
mere possibility of an idea, and to always keep finding that lone source of inspiration that has kept
you going all this while.
Not only this, but the amount of dedication and perfection you get to see in Benny’s work is
commendable. His feelings and his understanding of the wild beasts has brought a face changing
revolution in the protection of these animals. Believe it or not, but it is the hour of the need. We all
have to come together to eradicate this strong and evil force of illegal animal killing from the face of
the earth and only that can help in saving our beautiful abode.
Festivals like Holi and Hornbill are something that indicate the celebration of the ways of our lives.
But the sad truth is that our ways have changed drastically and they are surely not for the good. Man
has ever been in search of farthest lands for serene beauty and solace, but he has only damaged those
districts upon arrival. Kashmir, the paradise of India, was once one of the most beautiful places, but
time and man has taken its toll on it. The Tulip Festival is a way to tell people the tales of forgotten
times, the times we so fondly cherish but never made an effort to preserve. Dr. Kaynat, a well read
person and a female solo traveler, knows the importance of keeping our ways a bit on the older side.
In the end, it’s not about what we have achieved so far or what we are going to achieve, it’s about
being responsible for the generations to come and leave behind a better place for them to live in.
That’s the only way we can work it out and strive towards a happier and peaceful world.
