When I started blogging it was for the love of writing and sharing my thoughts. Over time it became my raison d’être. Over time I learnt new things about myself and one of them includes my love for pictures. I started compiling photo posts and penning travel posts where I could include more pictures.
My pictures are my memories and this quote perfectly describes my thoughts.
“I take a picture, but it’s not about who is in the picture or the background of it. It’s about the memories and meanings it holds.”
― Kayla Davis
This one is not just a colorful picture. This one is culture. When you visit Rajasthan, you feel immersed in a strong sense of the what the state stands for. Its rich history and its past. As much as I love clicking, the stories intrigue me the most.
I am participating in the third edition of Barathon and today is day 1. You will see me running a marathon of photo/travel posts on this space from July 2-15 every other day. Have a good time!

YOu know Parul, telling a story, or a thought, or bringing out a point through a picture isnt something easy. Ask me, I have been trying to click decent pics and put them on my insta strories. Most of mine make no sense. you are doing wonderfully well with yours. The dash of colours, they speak volumes of the culture, and the preferences of the people around it 🙂
