The star-lit-jungle date

Himanshu Udeshi Photography

After some painful heartbreaks and having enjoyed single-hood to the maximum before and after those energy sucking relationships, I am glad that my hope on love didn't disappoint me. I am with an awesome guy who helped me rebuild faith in relationships and his presence in my life made me realize why it didn't work out with anyone else. With Him, life seems like a beautiful journey full of adventures and we make sure we keep doing new things together to collect as many first-time memories as we can so that our kids may never fall short of stories. Last weekend we both enrolled for night sky photography workshop in the tribal areas of Daang (bhenskatri village) and boy!! I must tell you it was the best date ever! 
We went with group of twenty other photographers and astronomy enthusiasts. Interacting with them was great but guess what I had the best company with me, 'Him'. He set up his camera for the best frames and I arranged dinner for us. We ate together in the torchlight talking about his passion for photography and my love for night sky observation. I asked him so many questions regarding photography and he answered everything patiently making sure I understand everything. He had night job on the previous night of the workshop so hadn't slept for 36 hours, yet he was completely aware, awake and excited about the photos he was going to click.  
throughout the night he held my hand and took care of me while moving from one place to other in the eerie dark jungle. We sang some hindi romantic songs together, talked about stars, their birth and death, milky way, other galaxies, end of the universe and how insignificant we are in front of this unfathomable media of space and time. I always wanted to be with a person with whom I can have long long very long conversations and in the time frame of that moment I felt that he is the One, I was always waiting for. Lying down besides him holding his hand in mine, gazing the mysterious sky, I promised; "I'll always be there for you" and the Universe witnessed.

The Laughing Buddha of SAS-9: Chanaka Sandaruwan Haggalla

Mornings are very difficult for me. I hate to get late and make people wait for me. But unfortunately I cannot overcome my desire of sleeping till the time after which spending a second in bed, can get me late. Today was one such morning and my mood was already offset. I took a backseat in car and guess what happened next? The first thing I noticed was, 'big-bright' smile of Chanaka and all stress of getting late and facing my guide after a bad performance in project evaluation, flew away. Mimansa Shastri with Camera Man Chanaka Sandurvan Haggalla.. :-P Chanaka is a simple person with very less needs and the cheerful smile on his face depicts the contentment in his heart. His attitude of taking care of others and going beyond his limits to see others happy, impresses me the most. His personality lacks " I " and so far I have not been able to find out any trace of selfishness in him. His simplicity is most charming and his minimalist approach towards life, in...

The one

This is a story of HER! Today she depicts her story in her own words! For THE ONE who wants to know HER! she's clumsy, she's unmanageable sometimes, But she will be there to manage your any of the worst times!! Her mood swings are difficult to judge and confusing as well, But her heart is the safest place where you can dwell!! She might be broken in pieces when she smiles at you bright, The only thing she wants is THE ONE who holds her hand tight!! She is scared to believe and trust anyone, But now she's relieved,bcz she trusts more than herself in THE ONE!! She's rude and miserable you can say, But she's strong enough to find her own ways!! She ll hide her feelings from the world around her, But deep in her heart she knows THE ONE who matters to her!! She's the one who depends on you the most, But don't judge her though as this is the way she shows her trust!! She's not the most beautiful girl you could find,  But she promises you to make the MOMENTS M...

Cup Periods.. Best Periods

periods for me meant discomfort unless I started using menstrual cups. I had read about menstrual cups while campaigning against taboos related to menstruation but never tried to inquire more about them, considering that this might be a special product used by athletes. On Jagriti Yatra during our visit in Banglore, I visited stall of Boondh and that was the first time I was able to know more about cups and how any girl/woman can switch from plastic sanitary pads to cups. The eco-friendly reasons led me towards thinking about this product but the fear of inserting something in my vagina didn't allow me to buy it on that occasion. Few days later after Yatra, I got a call from a very popular Doctor and social activist of our city, also my mentor for campaigning against menstrual taboos, Dr Ami Yagnik and she was very keen to promote the idea of using menstrual cups among the Surti women. I immediately resonated with her idea and we decided on starting our campaigns to promote menst...
