So for this post, we have brought the person behind the lens in front, you could say he is my muse because I simply love clicking his pictures!
If this goes as per plan, this should be the very first post you would read that is written by me for you. Happy Birthday bbdoll! Hume tumse yaar kitna, ye hum nahi jaante because utni counting hume aati hi nahi hai! But someone you love tried to explain it as “Love you 3000” so yesssss I do love you 3000! You better reply that you love me 6000!
Dodo, I have never believed that you have to experience love in some majestic gesture or it is this loud feeling. Nah. I feel love is in those mundane things we ignore. We could do the biggest gestures to make each other feel validated yes but yaar love can only sustain through those small and simple things. Tolerating my spam of cloud pictures, endless hyperlapse of same scene every evening, watching a series you’ve given up on ages ago just because I am still interested, going through 30 odd tiktok videos I spam you with and replying to each one because it matters to me, downloading snapchat cos I want to do a streak, staying up that extra hour because I want you too, bearing with my endless opinions on things that are probably worthless for you. I could go on but I feel you got the drift? That’s love.
I still am shook whenever I think of how this relation has turned into a long distance relationship, fuck you Corona. For a person who always thought she won’t sustain even a month in a long distance relation to have survived 4 without meeting you is the actual testimony that I might have days where I am down but I trust this relationship and love you (3000, obviously)! It is 0300 am right now and I am just trying to formulate words to convey to you that you mean the world to me. 3am. For someone who himself sleeps at 11pm, significance samajh rahe ho na? I mean waise toh tum ho sakht launde par I hope yahan tum bhi pigal gaye..
I know this is the first birthday you won’t be celebrating with your friends and that might make you feel a little down but I promise we will have a big belated bash to make up for this Lockdown wala Birthday! ❤
I know I have done this below a lot of pictures but I LOVE THIS PICTURE so so so much! I really do.
This is from my first birthday with you and you had given me the best gift I could ask for, your time! Oh, also the Polaroid camera or whatever it is called. While I was still trying to check how it even works, you had managed to click a selfie with it and developed this first image as well. Mind was blown. I will always cherish this picture. It is so cute. Like always, I am stunned how your first picture in a polaroid camera and that too in a selfie mode turned out this good? Like, HOW?!
Both my birthdays with you have been so amazing. I am missing those times very badly now where I could decide on whim that I want to meet you and make it happen. Uff. Khair, thank you so much for changing my perception about my birthday from a day which I used to ignore to a day I look forward to because it would mean being with you and being pampered by you.
How can I not put up a picture from this day? I mean I know I don’t believe in anything elaborate or mandatory but I really loved the way this day turned out. Most importantly, I love this picture so much. It has three cutest kids captured by the cutest person.
I was so nervous, I had just turned up into a room where I barely knew people. Worse, everyone was staring at me! How did I get through it? Probably because of you. I remember I could not even eat anything. Imagine!!!!! Still gives me the shivers. And there you were, eating like it is any other day, with your “it is what it is” attitude. I have never really implicitly told you but I love you so much for wearing the ring as fondly as you do. It makes me veryyyyyy happy. I don’t really know why but it does. What made this day most special was how you stuck by me throughout and helped me get through it, in your own way. I am going to need it in future. A LOT. I am sure you know what I mean.
Okay now, ending this here by giving you a task, message me what you understood when I said “I am going to need it in future”. I am really going to need you so I need to ensure you understood without me having to spell it out. This also helps me to know if you are actually reading that I am so invested in writing.
The women featured in this blog (a few are missing) are all super women and I love them immensely. So if this feels like me fangirling, it probably is.
So one of the first things Bhavesh did when we were getting to know each other was tell me about his friends. I swear, that is when he is the most excited. He loves all these girls a lot and cherishes the friendship he shares with each one of them. So, when talking about them he also shared how he attended their weddings with his DSLR and captured them. He genuinely seemed proud of capturing the moments of one of the most important days in their life! He almost made me jealous of not being present at these weddings!!! So I felt, all things considered, all these pictures deserve a separate feature!!
She is as sweet as she looks! The girl with a golden smile that could melt anyone’s heart. Interestingly, me and bhavesh were already dating when he attended Meenakshi’s wedding in Delhi. She was not aware of my existence until that day from what I know and I was getting live updates from Vasu about what was happening at the wedding. Even through phone, I was so excited!! Meeting minu was probably the easiest because that’s how she is, warm and welcoming. She has a way to connect with people. The thing I love most about Minu is that she is the best listener, that’s also something that makes her a very good friend. You can tell her anything and she will listen endlessly without judging you. To wrap it up, she is sweet and brilliantly aesthetic, just like this picture ❤
I can keep looking at this picture and not get over it because of how beautiful she looks and I can keep talking about Ritu and yet it won’t be enough because of how amazing she is. If you are just meeting bhavesh, Ritu is one of the first names to pop out of his mouth and rightly so. She has had his back since forever now and it shows. The comfort and relation they share is above and beyond anything and anyone else. Ritu is also one of the most pampered ones for Bhavesh. She often says she has harassed Bhavesh over the years, but hello, showing 10 outfits to best friend to choose one and then wearing the 11th one is not harrassment. It’s the most best friend thing to do!!! He loves pampering you, a lot. Also, there is nothing Ritu can’t do. Seriously. She cooks amazingly, she has the coolest fashion sense, her baking is to die for, she runs her own business, I could go on and on and on. Ritu, you have amazed me too many times and each time I tell this to Bhavesh he goes “ya, that’s Ritu”. His love for you is evident from how fondly he speaks about you. Lastly, Ritu is a bundle of love and care and I am so happy to be one of the lucky ones to be recieving it in abundance along with Bhavesh ❤
Sana is an actual ray of sunshine that engulfs everyone just as the picture portrays! Bhavesh calls her super sana and I have come to agree with it, in my own way I can conclude that it is not just a tag. She is super, in every sense the word can be used. She is empathetic, she is beautiful, she is smart and she has one of the most kind hearts I have ever come across. The best quality about Sana is that she sees the best in everyone. If you are talking to Sana and telling her just about anything, you can be assured that you will have her 100% attention and no matter how mundane what you are telling her is, she always sees something nice in it. I have told her this already and I know bhavesh completely agrees with me when I repeat that Sana is very inspiring! Interestingly, Sana means brightness and radiance which is exactly what Sana is and also what this picture depicts – a beautiful soul, inside out ❤
I just grinned from cheek to cheek because I had to write about Kanuuu! My first impression of Kanksha is of that girl who goes “BUNNNNNNNNNYYYYYY” for no reason at all. Yes, that is right. She could have been with Bhavesh for hours and suddenly she would say this just because that is how happy she is with him. Kanksha is a fiery little miss you would not want to cross. She has a very small closed circle of people that she absolutely adores and if you are a part of it, you probably should consider yourself lucky. I hope I get entry into the circle sooooon!😋 I know Bhavesh is immensely lucky to have Kanksha in his life. He has told me Kanksha is that one friend he can speak to at any point and about anything. I still remember how on our first date, he had pointed to a Starbucks outlet and had said “aree Kanksha hoti toh khush hojati yahan”. And as I have come to know her, I think this instance defines Kanksha. She feels in extremes. There are things and people she is extremely passionate about and if she speaks to you about it, she can make you fall in love with them. There is a very kind side to her which very few get to see. You ask her for help with something and she will be with you till the end of it. Kanuuuu, bunny and I love you ❤
If there needs to be a picture that defines Vasu, I’d pick this one. She is a live wire full of energy, bubbly and the cutest bundle of joy. Vasu, there is so much I could write about you and it won’t do justice to how amazing you are. You are the smartest person, most kind, superlatively expressive and immensely funny. We both can talk for hours and jump from one topic to another with such ease, I don’t really feel like I have known you just for two years. Feels way way longer. I seek you out like you are one of my own friends. Be it sharing something as simple as a dish I cooked or something as complicated as politics, talking to you is so fun. I still remember the first thing we bonded over was a Joey GIF and our love for emails. If I have such ease with you in such a small time, I can only imagine how much must bhavesh love you! From what I have heard from him about you, you are his go to buddy. As he says “Vasu ke saath sab chalta hai”. I mean, this much ease only comes when there is ample of love behind it and there is. How can one not love you anyway? Duh! You are so adorable! And behind that smile and bubbly face is a strongest and fierce girl who is strong, both mentally and physically. Be it your perseverance to achieve your goal or your discipline around workout routine, it just leaves me in awe! Wrapping it up with a hope to see you very very soon and just want to tell you, “You do You, Vasu” ❤
Is the picture enough for the memories or do I need to explain? 😛
May 2018. This pic was taken at JW Marriott by you at my order. I literally just sat there and said “I won’t move until you click a picture of me”! This was one of the most memorable nights for me, you know why already. We had gone clubbing together for the first time as well on the same night!!! Too many firsts associated with this picture. Oh man, what fun!
I remember clicking a picture of you randomly which I sent to my mom and that was also the first picture my mom has of you and she has still saved it on her phone. Told you, too many firsts.
As and when I am documenting these memories and converting them into blogs, I go on realizing how much fun this journey has been with you. Despite the downs, it also makes me super excited for what’s to come! Can’t wait to give you more orders 😋
My most favorite picture!!!!! It has light, it has balloon and it has me! What makes it the best is that this is a candid! This was clicked in April 2019 at a friend’s place where we were having a small night in. I was just hugging the balloon and talking to friends and I did not even know you clicked me until you sent me the picture. I was so happy with it even when my face can hardly be seen in it, because it just has a light balloon and to me it looks like I am holding light in my hands.
A bit of exaggeration for the second pic here but it’s like a whole round world in my hands!!!! Just a funny note to end this on, it is from the same night where you called it off earlier than any of us and went to sleep which is so on brand for you that it does not even surprise me now! Love you, lazy and sleepy ass ❣
I know the title is a cliche but it suits this situation aptly and just by the way, cliches are good! So, this picture is from our trip to pondicherry and that too from our very last day! We were suppose to visit this beach the evening before but it got pretty late as we were just being lazy and were tired from a day of touring around as well. I had really tried to fit visiting the beach again and was pretty upset about not being able to make it. So I made an insane suggestion to visit it during sunrise or soon after sunrise in the morning. I would have never thought bhavesh would say yes, EVER! We had been to the same beach already a day before and it was also during early hours. He loves his sleep, more than me. Yup! But he agreed!!!!!! Guess I must have seemed too earnest 😅
We firmly decided to be up and running by 6am to go visit the beach in the morning. We reached there, albeit a little late but still before 7am!!!!! I was ecstatic, waves were still pretty high and the beach looked surreal. This moment in the picture captures how happy I was. It made saying goodbye to pondicherry a tad bit easier!
PS: I am not even a beach lover, it is just something that Pondicherry does that to you I guess. Oh and maybe because I have a beach loving boyfriend? It has rubbed off on me.
I am very excited to talk about this picture!!! I absolutely love the picture I am going to blabber about. It is the most unexpected picture that Bhavesh has clicked of me. This is in Goa and we were just leaving the beach when he said just look into the camera, I had no idea what to expect. The camera was too close for my liking and I already hated whatever was going to come, inside my head. You can see, I am not even smiling in the pic! Eventually when I saw the picture, I was shook. I remember bhavesh giving me his significant “HUH” once he figured I like the pic. But then, that’s his magic. This here is the entire reason I think he needs to explore his potential more and not be lazy. He sees what most miss.
Thanking my stars (wink wink) for this amazing picture and hoping to see more of your magic Mr. Nath!
If it is not already clear, I love planning trips and am always looking for a chance…Bhavesh’s birthday, trip!! Oh it’s my own Birthday so trip?? ‘I am starting a new job’ trip, ‘there has been no trip for so long’ trip. Here’s to hoping I get to do a ‘OH COVID’s DONE? TRIPPPPPP’!!
Bhavesh’s journey through these trips goes like ‘let’s see…you check everything out first…what’s there to see in that place…office ka leaves check karta hun…okay chalte hain’. That’s exactly how our first ever trip together to Amritsar on his birthday happened. He literally had to just pack his bag and show up at the airport…THAT IS ALL! Entire trip was a gift and a also a surprise. Yet, he took so much time to say yes…I will never get over that. Oh and the harrowing questions about where are we actually going? Does it rain too much there? Is it sunny? Is it hilly? Ugh! He did not know how a surprise works. Must say, he is much better at it now. I’d like to pat myself for that.
So after very many hurdles, he did show up at the airport and snatched the tickets to check where are we headed. But the story really, just starts here. Due to last minute booking, I had only managed a connecting flight with a small layover in Delhi. As amazing as my luck is, our plane kept hovering over Delhi airport due to congestion. It just wouldn’t land. We had a layover so we were okay with some delay, it was when we starting getting closer to the time of our next flight that I started panicking. Oh and our plane started running out of fuel and guess where they landed to get refueled? AMRITSAR!!!!! There was not a person on crew I din request to that they should allow us to land, but no that was not going to happen, so I did what I think was absolutely the need of the hour…CRIED! Oh you wonder what Bhavesh was doing during all of this? Laughing…AT ME! Yep, he is that mean.
Anyway, our plane finally landed in Delhi where we stayed for a night in a hotel and booked another flight to Amritsar for next morning. This time, we ACTUALLY made it to Amritsar and had a lovely stay in the magical city with lots of yummy food. Sharing the snaps of the amazing Golden temple clicked by my very own boy BHAVESH!
Ya, he will never tell or accept that I am his muse so I am just gonna call myself that. I mean, he doesn’t have much choice now anyway!
Like everyone else, I too love to travel to new places too and Bhavesh is an obvious choice for a partner. His idea of travel and mine are distinctive and he says I drag him on my travel expeditions like a suitcase! Hmph. I mean that’s so far from truth, I actually drag him as my personal photographer. ‘Yeah, right’ that’s what will be your reaction when you read this. Am I right or am I right? Swiftly moving on, fun fact time! I am a HUGE critic of my pictures, no matter who clicks them. My pictures are rarely flattering and I just feel awkward about them in general. On the other side, let’s just say Bhavesh is not used to receiving criticism for the pictures he takes and he was flabbergasted that I did not like the photos he clicked of me 🤣. He wanted to know exact details of why is the picture not good, those were some discussions, eh? However, my boy did not let it stop him from clicking me. Documenting moments is fun and I am a sucker for it so I really appreciate when a good scene is captured and even more when I am in it!!
There are some pictures that he has clicked of me which I love extremely and cherish. I never get to posting them, i have no idea why. So this is my way of letting you know that they are appreciated and loved. Umm, I obviously want you to keep clicking them so this is also a bribe. Take, enjoy and report to duty once the pandemic is over 🐒
Figment of boredom and love
