Photographs for me are time capsules, which capture special moments into rectangular sheets for us to relish it later in life. This photograph is of my grandfather’s complete paternal family. This photograph was taken when we were all together in our house in Kathmandu. This photograph is of a deep significance to me as I have always lived away from my family. When I was young my parent’s sent me to Kolkata to live with my maternal grandparents. According to them education in Nepal was not of the level they wanted me to achieve. In Grade 11, I came to Woodstock, as I wanted to become independent and self-reliant. Now that I look at myself, I am grateful to my parents for giving me this exposure and education in life that has made me what I am now. This photograph reminds me of my family. It is a memory to remind me of the high hopes that my family members have for me and that I have to live up to it. The people in this photograph care for me a lot. It reminds me of the time when we all had gathered together and the fun we had. This photograph is something with which I can spend time if I am lonely. It is a sort of companion and a motivator, which helps me strive for what I believe in. It has me standing by my parents and my cousin by theirs. But in the end it shows us as a united, happy family ready to face difficulties together. It also shows that in today’s world where most families prefer to go the nuclear way, we still are there for each other. This photograph is one of my most priceless possessions showing something which makes me happy.
