As I keep all my photos in my phone in Google Photos ( I have a monthly subscription of Google One) , so everyday it reminds me of my past photographs, provides albums, videos, collages, songs and my contents, write ups. I take some of these everyday as I have enough GB to store the revisits of memories.
The photos of me I have posted Online at different times on my virtual profiles. The first one of me in 1986 , in Mount Abu, when after my graduation, I went on a trip with my husband Gautam Sen.
It was a day trip to visit the Nakki Lake, Dilwara Temple and some other places at Mount Abu.
The Rajasthani outfit was available to try near Nakki Lake for photo shoots like people do in Kashmir also.
I was on a day trip, so without wearing any foundation ( just my own skin) with a little touch of lipstick, I wore that dress and my husband took my picture near Nakki Lake.
So, it is not from last year's photo.
40 years have passed and the second photo of me was from two days back without any make over.
I just returned from an evening walk and felt good, so took a selfie of me.
So many experiences I have gathered over the years, through my own life experiences, through my work experiences, through my struggles, through the challenges I have faced, through my presence on Virtual platforms and through spiritual understandings.
Whatever I have written earlier, people dismissed many of my understanding back then , now they are realizing I was right all along in my expressions.
And when Google Photos collages some of my past Photos with a song " You were being punished for being so good " , it initially brought tears to my eyes because the creators of that collage and only I know what it means !
Then I wiped my tears and glad that truth could not be hide .
