Living on Sophia campus I grew up seeing beautiful trees around me. I am a nature lover and I feel it’s the most beautiful thing in the world. I love trekking and camping because that is when I feel more connected with nature . I love parasailing, enjoy springs. I can spend long hours under the shade of trees, staring at the sky, it keeps me calm and brings me some kind of joy.

Ten years from now I would like to travel the world and photograph people from all walks of life, Being independent, learning new cultures and having varieties of cuisines. I want to go trekking in different parts of the world and have an enriching experience.

Childhood is something that I would always cherish, whether it’s a bad picture or a good picture doesn’t really matter. Childhood is something that is once lost never found again. So well I did enjoy my childhood to the fullest from wearing new clothes, wearing mum’s sandals, applying excessive powder, messed ponytail, crying and shouting to fulfil all my demands, fighting with friends saying my Daddy is the best, refusing to eat all the time, jumping into puddles gave me immense joy. This picture was taken when I was a little older, nutured and cared for. Here I was made the flowergirl for  a wedding when I was warned by my parents not to play truant during mass but a child is a child and I was a naughty one. So when I got a chance I ran all over the place this was when the picture was clicked. I was given my freedom when we were back home after the wedding when all the attention was drawn towards me. This picture gives me immense joy as it a flashback to those moments of an innocent and carefree child.
