Cameras,Photography and Profession


There was time when people used to buy camera rolls for a photography session where the roll could barely hold about 36-38 photos and there was deep repentance if by mistakenly a film got wasted. And if you remember then there was a counter at the top of the camera which counted number of shots taken which also meant to show number of films left. The photography was more precise and careful when the counter crossed 32.

Photography was one of the rarest profession that anyone had. The only person people believed who can take a perfect photograph was only the photographer.

Comparing the present time I will say that I was lucky I could live those times where camera rolls were such important and I am so thankful that I had a childhood before technology took over. Now it is said that “the easiest way to get into a profession is by buying a professional camera”. Now everyone with a DSLR camera and some editing applications are the photographers. Now there is no limitations of snaps we have got memory cards with plenty of memory to hold photographs.

The time we are living now is the time of “selfie”, wherever you go you can see this selfies all around, where people will be taking snaps of their own.

There was time when photography was done mostly to capture moments but now people use the photographs as a proof of something like they have gone somewhere or they did something.

I must say that technology had a great impact on this change, the way cameras came up with new technologies had really redefined photography.

Respect cannot be demanded or commanded,It can only be earned.

I think the evolution of things have paused,only lots of changes are happening.
But the thing that haven't changed is the peoples need for "RESPECT".


It is one of the important thing which a human thrive for.People thinks that the
only source from which they can earn respect is a high designation in the society
which totally contradicts my thoughts for respect.


 There are instances when people enjoy a high designation still they seek for respect and get irritated if they do not get it and when they see nothing is working out then they start demanding it or commanding it forcibly.

For an instance people won't take tea from tea stall if the shopkeeper won't add a SIR/SAHIB while giving the tea,here even if the person do not deserve respect he is demanding it.


My question for those who demand respect is that:-why don't they realise that respect can only be earned by their deeds and nothing else.
If someone spare seconds to think about this then instead of commanding or demanding respect they can focus on their contribution towards the society and their doings so that the they will be respected.


To conclude I will add up how I define respect: According to me if you greet,wish,smile at someone unconditionally then that person has earned the respect from you.

"The Social Network"-a boon or a bane?

Talking about the present days,we will be lucky enough to find people who are not into the social networks.
The social networks nowadays are contradicting their own vision for which they are meant to be.If we take the example of one of the famous social networks then it was actually meant to connect the people in a particular community which is now doing most of its business there by selling Ads and etc.
Talking about the "Youngsters",most of the young minds enter a social network just to get famous and to be known by the people for which they post hell lot of irrelevant things on the web also the stuffs which has nothing to do with them or I will say  
Kids and teenagers growing up, have no sense of manners in a public forum. 
The days are not to far when there will be classes and seminars on "How to use the social networks".
As we know everything has both good and a bad side social networks allows teachers and professors are making groups to extend classroom discussion to posting assignments, tests and quizzes, to assisting with homework outside of the classroom setting and there are instances where a group of people were rescued from the Guerrillas only by the help of a Facebook post as mentioned in the book "The Facebook Effect" by David Kirkpatrick.
so i will end up with the words "Think before you Click".
