Six shots of life
There’s negativity all around but we will focus on the positivity. Our editor picks shots of life that bring a smile.
UNDERWATER WEDDING
They often say a good marriage is like synchronised swimming. This engineer couple went a step ahead and tied the knot underwater off the Neelankarai coast, Chennai. It wasn’t stars, but changing tides that decided the wedding date. Clad in wedding finery, they exchanged garlands and tied the thaali before 7.30am, on instructions from the priest. Cool!
PEACE IS WITHIN US
Actor Vaani Kapoor took to Instagram to share a series of lovely pictures from a trek. She wrote, ”Go deep within, discover your invisible higher self and know the love within you. We have to try stop outsourcing happiness.. and find stability within.. to actively cultivate a source of peace and happiness in our mind.” Words of wisdom, Vaani!
MORE POWER TO YOU
After decades of war in Lebanon, Iraq and Syria, more and more women are working to remove lethal mines and IEDs from fields and cities of their homelands. The job is dangerous, and considered men’s work, but these women are changing the perception and they feel that in rebuilding their lands, they are rebuilding themselves.
LIFE GOES ON, SAVOUR EVERY MOMENT
Actor Evelyn Sharma shared a beautiful picture of herself against the backdrop of a sand, beach and blue skies. In a thoughtful post, she expressed how life moves pretty fast and if we do not take out the time to stop and ponder, we could miss the good and happy moments.
