Deep down....


Artificial intelligence in my phone helped me compile all my pictures and create a small movie....
I actually saw myself grow up and evolve in front of my eyes.
The picture of me as a toddler admiring the accessories put on me and smiling and another saw me upset and crying in a new environment amongst a crowd of people.
School pictures in uniform accepting prizes saw me happy and proud of myself.
Teens saw me in makeup and costumes participating in dance and face full of expressions.
College days saw me in different moods and in different places with friends.
Mischievously dancing in birthdays celebrations in hostel, Tensed and serious in library, Exhausted and frustrated in scrubs in wards,Wearing a saree and excited .....
Dancing and Singing.
Marriage and Motherhood pictures caught me in various emotions....elated,happy,exhausted,anxious,proud.
Reunion with friends  clicked pictures of me and my friends change with age but the mood clicked by the camera lens showed same person inside each one of us  unchanged ....25- 30  years back....in school and college.

Seeing your own self change with age was exciting and watching myself evolve in years was surreal.

With age,I had changed so much.
My face,My appearance, My life,Lifestyle....

Deep down..

The pictures revealed.....

The face ,The body with each age changed.
The moment captured by the camera and that phase of life got left behind.
A new moment and a different phase with a different face was captured at each age.

As we age,we leave behind that person we are and move on ahead.

We feel a  new person has evolved with age who has a different face , and a very different thought process, different goals,...compared to that person we left behind....
Life changes us with age.
Life evolves us externally and internally.

But.....

Deep Down.....

The real " Ourself" remains unchanged.

The Real me as a child and today at 50yrs,definitely has changed.Physically and Mentally.
Deep down ,I still  love dancing, admire accessories when worn, do get upset in unfamiliar environment amongst a huge crowd.I still get anxious and stressed when a difficult hurdle comes in way.
Still Deep down still mischievous and carefree which has not got lost with age.

Deep Down,
I have remained same.

Real vs Reel.

  In the " REAL" World. I had been to a condolence meeting of a Senior Doctor. So many people had gathered there to pay their last respects. It was overwhelming to see that the Senior Doctor had touched so many lives....and that day was the proof of his Good Work throughout his life. I went to offer condolences to his son...." Sir earned lot of Good will by his enormous benevolent work." His son replied" That's what he earned only in his whole life.Only Good Will.No money." What is important in our Life? Today,our young generation is immersed in Digital media and Artificial Intelligence. They are more involved and connected to ' Reel" and " Virtual media. They have lakhs of Followers who 👍 Like them on Instagram and X. They communicate majority of their day on Social platforms with unknown strangers. But in Real world.... They remain aloof and secluded from surrounding and society. Absolute no interaction nor communication. ...
