Love you 3000!

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! ❤

Three kids!

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 one where our dancer becomes writer!

The only picture taken by you that I could find was this, on your birthday last year at Baraana. Ohh hey, Happy Birthdayyyy Bhavesh🥳. This also made me wonder why don’t i have a picture with you instead? Well, that’s what good photography skills does to you, makes you always stay behind the lens. Going to make sure we click a picture together whenever we meet next.

When i was asked to write something about you, the very first instance came to my mind was when you came for my dance show. Honestly, I really didn’t expect you to say even yes but you did and i remember you didn’t just show up, you were very much there and gave me a good feedback on both my performances too (well, everyone knows how fond i am of REACTIONS and how bad or subtle you are with that 😂) but still you managed in your own way and that means so much to me. Thank you so much for coming that day and cheering for me from the audience.

I know many will say how lucky you are to have a partner like pooja (which by the way you are), specially after this exceptionally amaizng birthday gift. But I am happier to say that pooja is lucky to have you, she has finally found someone who manages to deal with her drama, respects her opinions on anything and everything, understands her emotions and of course THE someone who agrees to travel with her anywhere and everywhere (not that you have any other option) and has happily called himself her suitcase too😂. Thank you so much for coming into her life and make me feel less guilty when I ditch her for most of her plans (though i know i am irreplaceable and she would still want me if she plans that way) but i feel relieved that you are there with her to make her feel alright. Amidst all the congratulatory messages for the upcoming wedding and your future endeavours, I want to wish you all the best for your future ADVENTURES with my best friend ❤️

Concluding with this picture, the only time we have gone to clubbing till now. Take it as a reminder of how i want to see you dancing next time when we go clubbing 😉 Happy Birthday once again bhaveshhhhhh🥰

The one breaking the usual stereotypes!

I have known Bhavesh for, well over 12 years now, but really got the privilege to experience his brand of solid friendship over the last 4-5 years. I have never really got an opportunity to say what I am going to about him. And also as the stereotypes go ‘Men don’t talk such things’.
But well I have always believed in knocking down stereotypes & This man deserves it.

So Bhavesh,
His fierce unrelenting support towards his folks, makes them stronger. His ability to empathise & listen to his folks, comforts them. His sense of composure & security to not make everything about himself and let the others around him get the attention makes him the tallest man in every room he walks in.
Net, Bhavesh while you might in your humility never accept this ( well laugh a little on bas ho gaya itni tarif) – I Truly believe you belong to the dying rare breed of what we call ‘ Gentlemen’.
Stay the same and always stay close. Happpy Birthday brother, always got your back. Our Good Old Glory Days shall return 🙂

Now on the picture, Bhavesh clicked this as he took the long flight with me to be there for our Mehendi & Wedding. He was more than a friend by then he was Family. As a photographer his ability to observe and catch emotions that are raw & honest are stellar. And with this he did just that – In midst all the madness he Caught just the two of us being ourselves.

And well now that picture has found its way into our lives in our room :).

Wish you both lots of love and less/no quarantine in the rest of the year ahead.
