There are innumerable moments in
life but remembering one particular moment where I took oath to do or not
something is pretty hard to recollect. I haven’t took anything serious to
remember a moment but there are certain places, in the journey of life, the
collection of phases from different time moment converts me to be like this and
that. I love traveling from the beginning and I could not sleep well (in the
excitement) whenever I know I’m going to travel by next day but until 2006 or
before started bogging I wasn’t passionate on traveling. I bought internet
connection in 2003-04 mainly for learning about places and checking it
virtually as I could not go to see all the places due to my immobility, at
least let me explore the places online.

In Dec 2005, we bought an
apartment flat and moved out of our native house, and during that event my
uncle captured some photos with his digital camera which I uploaded in my
computer and shared on the blog. This was the turning point and the feel I got
by sharing photos and friend’s feedback inspired me to show more interest on
photography. Then on I kept looking forward for a camera to shoot and share. At
this moment, understanding my interest, my cousin’s conveyed my desire to his
father who in return giveaway his camera to me and thus began the journey, the
inspiration for the travel. The May 2006 Kodaikanal vacation ignites both the
interest and rather taking portraits and group photos my passion for nature
shoot began there.
But the real excitement of
photography and traveling begin in year 2008, when I upgraded to 8 megapixel
camera from the mere 3 mp and the micro mode in that makes feel delight shooting
items on close distance and getting enriched detail. The Valparai visit on the
same year was my first adventure travel and wild shooting. And writing about my
experience and narrating the stories of traveling was another exciting phase I
always look forward to relive the moments through words and photos. To say from
this moment on, photography and traveling has transformed my intention of
living and my blogging style also become different from just knowledge and
facts based posts. And to say from this moment on, blogging has changed me so much
and gave some hope to look forward in life.

It's beautiful to look back and realize the roots of some of the best things we do at present :)
ReplyDeleteThe moment you found your passion is surely a blessing. Keep following your heart and keep traveling and writing.
P.S.- I love that flower photo ^_^
Thanks much for participating.
Your journey actually made your life so much better. As you make new friends and share your world you communicate. That ability to talk and express things improves everything about ourselves. When I tell people of all the friends that I have all over the world, they ask how is that possible. Bloggers all know the sharing of photos and the sharing of thoughts is a growing experience for each of us.
ReplyDeleteIt really does open up the world, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog, Jeevan. I may never travel to India, but I can see it here. :-)
And, you are doing splendidly, both in your prose and in your beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, Jeevan.
Have a Beautiful Weekend!
Peace :)
I can see your passion and interests to share everything through blogging. We have so much in similarity even though we are miles and oceans apart. We also benefit from reading news and knowledge from foreign bloggers about different cultures besides developing lifelong friendship. I wish you all the best and may we be the friends for life in blogging.
ReplyDeleteI am actually jealous of some of your photos - you see what others tend to miss, and capture it beautifully! I too started to travel a few years after I started my first blog. I never knew traveling could be exciting until I actually started traveling regularly while living in Coimbatore. I try to travel regularly now also, but practical reasons like time and money prevent me from indulging. But I am happy that I am able to write a few travel posts now and then in my blog.
