📸 More Than Just Photos: Five Memories I Hold Close to My Heart

I was looking through my photos and picked out five memories I wanted to write about.

One is actually a drawing. I’m counting it anyway. 😂


A Photograph of My Father and Grandmother

Out of all the photos I own, this is one that I find difficult to look at without feeling emotional.

It was taken during my grandmother’s birthday celebration.

In the photo are my father and grandmother.

Today, both of them are no longer here.

More than twenty years have passed, but every time I look at this picture, the memories return.

It reminds me of family, love, and moments that we often don’t realise will become priceless one day.

If I could save only one photograph, this might be the one.


Graduation Day 🎓

Completing my MBA was one of the proudest moments of my life.

Not because of the certificate.

Not because of the title.

But because it was something my parents always wanted to see.

My father was no longer there to witness it.

But I know he would have been proud.

Seeing my mother there made the moment even more meaningful.

It felt like I had fulfilled a dream that belonged not only to me, but to my parents as well.


My First Half Marathon – 21.1km

If someone had told me years ago that I would complete a 21km run, I probably would have laughed.

Yet there I was at the finish line.

Tired.Sore.Happy.

I had finished my first half marathon. I was tired and sore, but I was happy I had done it.


My Family 👨‍👩‍👦

Every collection of treasured photos needs one family picture.

This is mine.

Through every achievement, challenge, journey, and chapter of life, family has always been there.

They are my support system.

They are the people I celebrate with.

They are the people I return home to.

Looking at this photo reminds me of how fortunate I am.

At the end of the day, family is one of life’s greatest blessings.


The Drawing of Murugan

This is not a photograph.

It is a drawing.

A drawing gifted by someone I will simply call Medusa.

What made it special was something she once told me.

She started drawing it with me in mind, but somehow the finished drawing resembled Lord Murugan.

Looking at it today, I still find that fascinating.

As someone whose life has been deeply connected to Murugan, this drawing became more than artwork.

It became a meaningful memory.

It remains one of my favourite pieces and one that I will always treasure ❤️

📸 To Be Continued…

There are more photos I want to write about. Choosing only five was harder than I expected.

I’ll keep the others for another post. 📸
