O destination where are you?

Where am I heading?

To set no roots for this spirit

I wonder, forget about this world and get dissolve

O destination where are you?

Where am I heading?

This life has a journey

Hundreds of crossroads here

Why the knife called memories stab so often?

I came to this fair in search of myself

O destination where are you?

Where am I heading?

O destination where are you?

Where am I heading?

Sir good morning

Sir good morning

Come down come

What is the time now?

8:50

8:50!

9 to 6 you have to take pictures in your digital cameras in 36 frames

No preview and should not delete them, if it is not good

Because you need to know what mistakes you make

During this period you should not talk to each other

No chatting and no WhatsApp

Every frame you compose is to learn and not to impress others

Got it?

Sure Sir Okay Sir

What are you doing?

Not getting the focus point Sir

Now?

Got it? Yes Sir

Do not shake too much Okay Sir

Only photography has the power to capture the running time

Amrutha! Sir!

The image you captured today

You look at that at any point in your life

You will remember today’s moment

So, make it count and live the moment

Yes Sir Okay Sir

Who knows to drive?

Sir!

Okay then, you got to drive my car in the morning, get ready

If you feel sleepy stop the vehicle and have tea
