A new journey of togetherness

A new journey of togetherness

This picture is from my wedding in 2011. Though the Hindu Bengali wedding is full of such beautiful moments, this particular scene is a personal favorite. I feel that this frame depicts one of the most poignant moments of my marriage. For me, it signifies that two souls united by the threads of love, trust, and understanding have chosen to walk together in this new phase of life.

This post is part of the Tuesday Photo Challenge on the theme ‘Scene’ this week.

Linking up with Wordless Wednesday created by Esha and Natasha.

Who am I? An erstwhile banker turned blogger/writer/author. Any qualifications? A Post-Graduate degree in Chemistry followed by a second Post-Graduate Diploma in Management. I completed a one-year MFA in creative writing course from the Writer's Village University, U.S. in Dec 2020. Though I must admit that I am still trying to figure out how and when I can connect all these dots. Have I done any real work? If two years in market research, six years in banking as a branch head, three-plus years of blogging, writing, and publishing a book can be considered as real work, then yes! Where do I live? After spending life like a nomad for sixteen years in Delhi, Bangalore & Mysore, I am back to where it all started from - Kolkata. My favorite things - Books, coffee, travel, food, and my five-year-old son. What is this blog about? Through Sonia's musings, I intend to explore writing in various genres, create social awareness, spread laughter, and give words to emotions. Anything for readers? You can check out my book 'Deal of Death' on Amazon Kindle. If you like fast-paced thrillers, this Detective fiction introducing the woman sleuth, Raya Ray could turn out to be your perfect weekend read.

  2. Such a lovely picture, Sonia. Somehow, our wedding pics evoke such a mixture of memories. Joy, warmth and the trepidation of new beginnings.

    I saw the Mehndi on your hands. Such a lot of it! We have only till elbows.

    1. Thank you Sona. I totally agree with you that wedding pictures indeed make us nostalgic.
      Actually bengali weddings have no concept of mehendi. But thanks to Bollywood and people like me who have spent a lot of time outside the state, mehendi has become an integral part of our rituals too. I chose this design. Infact had one on the legs as well because I love mehendi.

      1. And here I thought that Bengalis have a lot of mehndi for the weddings because of your photo.

        I think it’s good to take traditions from different parts of the country and make them your own 🙂
