Thoughts...

I have decided not to click any pictures on my next vacation. It's true that pictures serve as a sweet reminder of the fun times we have had, but sometimes we are so engrossed in clicking photographs that we fail to savour the moment.
This time I just want to be in the moment and later recollect from memory. It's like trying to remember the taste of a delicious dish you've had. Let the brain build up it's own visual bank without a photograph trying to help it.

In these times of the smartphone, I have realised that I have lost patience to read a book in one sitting. I am taking much too long to finish a 200-300 page book!

I don't know if we should be called humans anymore when a half dead man is left sitting on the road with his limbs scattered all around, pictures are clicked, questions are asked with no hurry being shown to take him to a hospital. Did they instantly know he was guilty? Does that mean he didn't deserve medical aid? #imphal

Even I'd decided the same before my last vacation but at the last moment I succumbed and took the camera and, naturally, clicked a lot of photographs ! Sigh ! Maybe the next time...
