"फिर जब मैंने वो अपनी फोटो देखी तो मुझे लगा कोई और ही हैं, वो मुझसे ज्यादा खुश लग रही थी "

Movie - Photograph
When I was little I didn't dream of becoming astronaut, engineer, pilot, actor and definitely not a doctor as other children would. I would look at the masons, building the first floor of my house entire day while my mother would call me downstairs to complete my homework saying if I don't study I would end up being like them. But all the while I would wonder how good their job is. I would keenly watch them setting the layers of bricks or making the cement paste. I remember everything by heart ; here, build a volcano of cement and some sand and make a hole in between, then pour some water and mix it with an axe, one quadrant at a time. I would imitate the same during dinner making a volcano out of rice, spilling daal over it and mixing it with my spoon. Sometimes I wanted to live on remote mountains with sheeps and waking up each day to feed them, cut woods, collect food from forest and cook for the rest of my life. Sometimes I wanted to be the ferryman and sometimes the person who plays iktara in front of monuments until the day I learnt that these aspirations are disparaged and downlooked in society and would be construed as lack of abilities and ambition so I gave up upon them. Also I made sure to start this piece with ' When I was little'although I still sometimes want to go back to those dreams because I don't want to be called crazy.
When I watched the movie Photograph I was relieved to see that someone else thinks that way too. Miloni, an intelligent young girl, all set to become an CA just tooks a pause and reflects upon on what she wants after she meets a photographer who took some pictures of her. She fascinates of leaving everything behind and living in a village she has never been to, working entire day and then falling asleep under a tree and open sky.Befuddled between what life has to offer and what she wants from life, between the people she wants to meet the people with whom she has to stay, its about a girl with stupid yet stirring story.
