Did a few good things which really lifted my mood today.

My first strike was “Maple Walnut” in “Move n Pick”. It feels different to go and have ice cream alone. But enna oru taste! Aha! Rombo nanna irundhudhu. Worth all the 62 bucks I paid for one scoop. Auto madhiri oru 10 Rs. sethi kettirundha kooda kuduthiruppen.

Took out my camera after God knows when.

The last time I photographed was during my friend’s wedding last April 11th. He had long celebrated his wedding anniversary but I am yet to see the results of whatever I had taken that day. Was it good? Was it bad? There was another professional wedding photographer covering the function, so I was just expected to shoot whatever I come across. Whatever be the expectations, I thought I was entitled to see the output. The powers that be decided otherwise.

But today I shot my mobile phone in dark conditions. Extremely low-light photography. It should’ve been at least 4 years since I’d shot anything like this. Definitely looked out of touch and rusty. Onnum olunga varadhu. But I am happy.

I am happy because in all these 28 years, one good quality I like in me is the ability to lift myself out of depression quickly. I don’t expect company, cuddling, smooth words etc…
Sometimes some nice words / mails from priyums helps.
But I do have a grip on my emotions and I can take charge of things when the need arises.

Boozing, sulking in a corner has never been my style.
Even the dearest of losses( my dad’s death) has not paralyzed me.
I pour my heart out in mails and blogs and then quickly get on with things.
