Its usual routine summer, like any other year, but never been this hot in April in the past 52 years; that was the the statement by Indian MET department, few days ago. Luckily, last week, nature sent showers to douse the scorching heat, for the moment. Given the choice, people are preferring to stay indoors, so did I. Happy to have got showers early morning, once again. Especially, on the occasion to be happy to have lived life on my terms, like a free bird and did what I like, happy to be lucky that way. And on this day I wish to continue the same style of life. Today, being my birthday, I wanted to upload a flower image and but haven’t done any flower shoot in the past few days, so had to scrounge the hard drives and found one. All my life, my birthdays have been like any other day out of 365. I have never celebrated by throwing parties, money is saved and spent for some cause. Yes, this year seems to be a bit different, as our kids have been asking me, almost everyday, if I was waiting for my birthday excitedly. Sukhmani gave me a hand painted birthday card, so did Chirag, when they got up early for their schools. They both walked into my room very quietly, like a cat and suddenly screamed birthday wish. Yes, that was a great feeling to see them growing as good human beings (our dream) and getting to understand what these special days mean to anyone. We are lucky to be a family which has three special days in a row. Today is my birthday, tomorrow is Sukhmani’s and day after on the 23rd April is our wedding anniversary.
Today, I take pledge to devote my life to promote the cause of nature conservation and peace, with the help of my camera. This year, I will devote 100% to Nature, especially snakes and flowers. I pray to get more strength and willpower to accomplish my mission to contribute to the cause of nature conservation.
On this day, I wish the world to be a better place for peace and with healthy ecosystem.
