Prose 33 : Captured Moments

 Captured Moments

                                - T ABRAHAM

    It is a common scenario nowadays seen, if we want to save something for a later viewing we just capture it in our mobile phones. The camera was once a medium used to capture cherishable moments and one always uses the photo studios to take pictures during important occasions of birthday parties, marriages, etc.,. There was a time when mobiles phones were just used to call and text messages. As the time passes by there are many developments and advancements taking place in our earthly or the worldly life which everyone of us are living in. So, here we are going to ponder upon the things which we used to wait for and wait eagerly upon a few years back and now we instantaneously cherish the moment.

    There were many things that happened during the past and the pace and speed in which everything moves on is increasing each day by some new invention or discovery made by the scientists. It is a well experienced fact that oldness always contains a gold within it or it is rightly said, "Old is Gold". When we move back in time to around one decade backwards we can see that there were more of physicality present which also bounds us to the moments rather than being stored electronically. In the preceding decades we usually take photos in a studio and store photographs in an album. Nowadays, we usually do it ourselves and we do it to save time, money and space.

    Albums are the compounds that contain the golden moments captured which can be seen and felt. These are stored for a longer periods of time and each film and time period is felt by the colours of the photographs taken. We humans had the quality of waiting patiently a few years back but now we are on a rat race to win over multiple things in a single run. The quality of multitasking was something that was not needed for a child who has lived a few years back. When one grows into an adult one has to slowly but steadily inculcate these qualities to provide others with an ample quality of comfort.

    Many of us as a child would have celebrated our birthdays by distribution of chocolates and there was a time when schools discouraged these practices because of the rise of drugs being sold in the chocolate wrappers. The cake for a birthday party was a childhood joy for any child and when once this child is moving into the teenage phase they slowly loose the value of this special day themselves and once they enter the journey of adulthood they at times forget this very special day.

    Hence, capturing the moments is not just the matter but capturing with the effect is something very important. One can cherish these memories if one wants to look back upon the journey they have gone through. The physicality in these images is something that is important for one to connect emotionally with it to cherish it at a maximum highest point possible.
