From Moments to Memories: Celebrating World Photography Day ( 19 August )


Photography - 

A magical art of,  

Capturing the story behind moments,

Converting ordinary moments into special moments,

Adding values to unseen feelings,

...


Today, on World Photography Day, let's celebrate this beautiful blend of art, craft, science and history.

The history behind the celebration is that on this day i.e. August 19, 1839, the invention and public release of the photographic process was done by the French government. This groundbreaking moment  marked the birth of photography as a publicly accessible art form. American photographer Jeannette Klute played a key role at Eastman Kodak in developing and promoting color photography as a fine art form. 

Photography Means “Drawing with Light”.


In earlier days, photography held a special significance. Only a few precious moments were captured, framed, and cherished. 

The wait for the physical copy brought its own excitement and joy. Unlike today, where a photograph appears in a fraction of a second, ready to be edited, shared across the globe and multiplied into countless clicks for a single moment, back then, each photograph carried rare emotional weight.

Photography, whether past or present, continues to be more than just pictures, it is a timeless way of preserving stories, emotions and memories. It also describes cultural stories. It is a powerful medium of expression. It connects people globally, breaking language barriers.

So like photography focus on what is important and what is good. Its a life metaphor.

KIDS : Our reflection, Our Responsibility

Friends, can we spare sometime and go back to our childhood....  The fun days we had, stress-free environment we lived, friend circle we had, level of communication we had with our family, games we used to play with our parents and lot many things.....  We did not have so many exposures but yes, the freedom (stress-free) to play and study. We did not have many activities around but still exposure with no competition around.  We did not have too many tuitions but still had professionals and skilled people around.  Feel so nice to think of all this.  BUT  Are we as parents really providing the same environment to our kids? They are always loaded with too much of competition, too many challenges, too many exams and evaluations, too many tuitions. It's an environment full of stress. Its good sometimes to have competition but everything in excess is harmful. Friends it's taking away their childhood. CHILDHOOD COMES ONLY ONCE LET's NOT SPOIL IT... LET THEM ENJOY...

International Mother Language day (21 feb) : માતૃભાષા આપણું ગૌરવ

Friends, tomorrow is International Mother language day , on this occasion i would like to ask that, when our child speaks English fluently we feel proud but at the same time when he/she cannot even utter a word in our mother tongue why are we not feeling shameful?  It's good and necessary to know fluent English but at the same time it's equally important to know fluent reading and writing of our mother tongue.  Mother tongue is our pride. માતૃભાષા આપણું ગૌરવ છે. 21મી ફેબ્રુઆરી આંતરરાષ્ટ્રીય માતૃભાષા દિવસ તરીકે ઉજવવામાં આવે છે.
