Anjani Patel- Nostalgic feelings

"Nostalgia" , this word makes me silently rewind all the good times i have had in my life. The best & worst part of being human is that we "Forget". Times goes on & memories fades away but there are few pages in my book of memory which will always remain close to my heart. Moving to Mumbai was a very big change in life for me. There are few instances which made me nostalgic in this city. Today i will be sharing few of them . . .

Ganpati celebration in Mumbai reminded me of the celebration that i had in my home town A'bad when i was a kid. It was a flashback of how i & my younger brother used to forcefully go & attain the aarti because our mom told us to do so. The only excitement that we used to have was to eat the Prasad. I miss those days !
This is the picture of Iscon temple near Marine drive. When i went here in the temple the guys here were singing "hare Ram hare Krishna" & were playing musical instruments. It was such a pleasing experience. For a moment i lost contact with reality & went into my own third world. It reminded of the Iscon temple that i used to visit in my hometown when i was a kid. My grandma used to take me there, I used go walking to the temple with her. I love those moments with my dadi.

This stairs reminds of my college stairs. I had spend lot of time there, bunking lectures & pushing my friend's leg, Bitching about people & what not. The stairs of the college do not resemble like this but whenever i look at this stairs at my Pg i start thinking about my graduation college.

Anjani:
The first photograph is way too generic and lazy. How do you visually express your excitement over eating prasad? I missed that in your photo. The second one captures the ornate interiors of the Iskon temple vividly. I liked the last photo the most - it had some mood, some feel. It was the closest you got me to that "nostalgic" feeling.But you haven't experimented with varying shot sizes.
