Black and White

Tried to write a story from a picture taken from Net. This is my 3rd story. You can find the 1st Here and 2nd Here.

The silent yet stunning, afraid of the world simple girl – that is me. I love to enjoy life but my definition is neither partying outdoors nor have a gang of friends. I love things as they are and that is my hobby, my studies and my profession. My entire life is intertwined with that one emotion – love. I love what exists and how it exists and I give life to them by capturing them in electronic gadgets, in paper, canvas, pots and cloths and sometimes as words and music. I found this love inside me when I was very little. My first love was mom just like it is for every one of you. And my second love was for sketches. Those amazing colors, the life it gave to everything around mesmerized me. I added color to everything around me from my little pup till the roads and school grounds I cross to come back home. I colored everything every time I had a chance to do it. I wanted to color Coovam River in bright colors. I hated it being black (the river) and white (the papers floating). I was secretly praying every day for that chance.

When I was 12 years old I finally got that chance. My school van was late and so I descended the narrow path which once could have been well laid steps and reached the bank of the river. I took my sketches and paint out and started coloring the water. I was not sure how long I had spent in there but when I realized that the darkness around had even dimmed my beautiful colors to black, I realized I was lost. I ran back to the pick-up point and sat there crying till my father came there with a van full of my other relatives. That was the day when my 2^nd love killed my 1^st. My ailing mother had died of cardiac arrest because of the shock that I was missing. From then on I loathed what was once my dearest 2^nd love.

I studied art, photography and movie making. Everything mentioned initially is still true but my love is not colored. I love things as they are but in their negatives form. And this picture just life every other of mine is in Black and White.
