While I was in Hibernation…

May be because I’m a software developer dealing with computers everyday or may be I’m just revising my Bio lessons, I had to use this term.

Yes, I was in ‘Hibernation’ for few weeks now. The main reason for my state I had already explained in my previous post but there was one more reason to it or you can say it was a side effect of the first reason. I literally couldn’t think of anything to write about.

But today when I was checking stats of my blog I suddenly realised that even though I’ve been inactive all this while, my blog wasn’t really :).

There had been hits and likes on my posts and sometimes comments as well. Though not like before as there was nothing new for my readers. But still few of my fellow bloggers had been so kind to honor me with some awards even in my inactive stage. It was a beautiful surprise for me.

The thanksgiving was pending for such a long time. I’m really apologizing for that.

Let me start by thanking Chanel Hason for giving me double joy with two awards.

Very Inspiring Blogger Award

and One Lovely Blog Award

Next thanks to Dr. Sherry for giving me Illuminating Blogger Award 🙂

Receiving awards is always Illuminating and Inspiring 😉

Thank to all for liking my blog. Once I’m totally active I will try to illuminate some more blogs soon 🙂

Till then take care and keep blogging 🙂

What Life Says

Human Vulture

         I’m not a photographer, photography isn’t even my passion, it’s just that I like taking pictures. The intention varies, sometimes it is just to treasure those beautiful moments, sometimes it is just to test the creative side of mine. But ever since I started clicking pictures I had promised one thing to myself, I’ll never portray the helpless people, the poor child and crying hearts. I feel it’s very inhuman. Someone is hungry and we are trying  to earn bread and butter by selling its pictures. Such a shameful act! Moreover I really doubt how many photographers must be offering some money or food to those poor hands whom they are clicking?

Long time back one such picture was being circulated through mails. I saw it and it really made me cry.

The caption also mentioned that the photographer committed suicide after three months of clicking that picture. The scenario was so dreadful. I cried for the child in the picture but not for the person who clicked it and committed suicide out of depression. Why should I and why should anybody else? Reading the caption only one thing came in my mind. When that person knew that the child is hungry and he/she will die soon with no food then why didn’t he feed him or why didn’t he help him to reach the food camp? What did he achieve by clicking the picture? Few applauds, some sympathy or handsome money? How impossible or difficult was it? He could have not only saved the child but saved his own life too. Depression caused by his own act or may be lack of action.

Who’s the real vulture here? The one waiting for the child to die or the one who is happy or proud that he got some real good shot? Seriously, are we being so materialistic and inhuman?
