Reflections - Yakuta Poonawalla


Canon Rebel 300 D
Aperture: 5.6
Shutter Speed: 500
ISO: 800
Lighting Conditions: Bright, daylight, outdoors

You have the insiders and the outsiders. The insiders imitate the outsiders. And the outsiders wished they had a relaxed life like the insiders. Just cook and serve and not discuss meetings but new recipes.

This is what happened. These men tired from work and the corporate life, longed to be like the chefs. And the chefs dreamed all day long of waking up, getting into a suit, polished shoes, laptop bags, blackberry phones and all that jazz. Only a mirror separates them.

She doesn't know if she wants to be on this side or that side. On one hand she loves it on this side - it's bright and pretty and she's happy. On the other, it's dark and scary and unknown. But She's there. She can see herself going with her. She is her.

Books always make you think. They reflect your story. They echo your dreams. They reveal the truth.

These are all books I've read. Some I liked, some I disliked and some changed my life. Many times while reading I would stop and say, "Wait a minute. This is what happened to me! Or this is what I'm experiencing. Or this is the story of my friend Bhavana's life!" It felt great to know that whoever wrote the book experienced the same and that's what motivated him to write. Books are mere reflections - of a person, a thing, an experience, an emotion, a situation or just life in general.
