Prayer Brings Victory

When I asked God for strength
he gave me difficult situations to face
When I asked God for brain
he gave me puzzle in life to solve
When I asked God for happiness
he showed me some unhappy people
When I asked God for wealth
he showed me how to work hard
When I asked God for favors
he showed me opportunities to work hard
When I asked God for peace
he showed me how to help others
God gave me nothing I wanted
He gave me everything I needed

Photography - An initiator of nostalgia that makes differences within a second.....

                     
                                                           Today I've come up to share something which stroke in my mind just in a flash of a second. AW..yeah...the word 'flash' tells all about it....its none other than the magical wand 'camera' which, by its instant flash captures anything which is focused. I have a huge collection of all my pictures right from my babyhood days till to-date which, when sometimes viewed, initiates a lot of reactions and emotions within my inner self.
                      Now i remember a quote which i read somewhere : "A photo is something which never changes forever even though the people in it change". This quote made me go into a deep thought....Ain't this sooo true? Even I too, sometimes when i look through the old snaps feel how things have changed so much, life changes, the people's changes, changes in our physical appearances, that this and so much more....just within a single glance of a picture. To say it more aptly, everything, both internal as well as external attributes of the elements in the pictures would have changed...tats wat i would say!
                    This photography is the only thing which makes us go into a state of 'nostalgia' within no time. I personally love this amazing constituent which stimulates our nostalgic feeling to a very great extent. Its the only record or proof of certain things that happened in our lives, which we can't get back but can go into that particular scenario and feel it just with a gaze on the picture. It can even refresh our feelings once we have a look at certain albums because even if we hold some grudges on certain persons, when taking a view of the picture in which how close we were to that same person, it will completely erase the grievance that we had on that person just at that instant itself. (this is my personal experience). So, isn't photography such a beautiful thing which can soothe our minds and rejuvenate our souls?
                      So, I wrote this post just to say that i really love capturing pictures and keeping it safe because it is the only entity that can bring our cherished, lost and yearning memories very close to our mind and makes us realize the truth that "CHANGE IS THE ONLY THING THAT NEVER CHANGES!"
