A dictionary defines Photo (fo.to) as a representation of a person or scene in the form of a print or transparent slide; recorded by a camera on light-sensitive material. What it doesn’t define are the memories attached it to, the moment captured in time, intangible emotion in a tangible form.
Sepia toned pictures
Childhood captured in rare frames
Black and white pictures of a marriage
Grainy colour pictures of their children
The first fancy dress competition
The front tooth missing
The awkward teenage years
A sulking face
Five friends
One tryst with making Maggi
The convocation
The first sari
The first big party
Cheerful banter
A coffee shop
A shy smile
A lazy afternoon of reading
Carefree laughter
A lovely holiday
Wind in her hair
A chubby baby
A toothless grin
The warmth of family
Captured for eternity
