Photography is so common these days, thanks to advancements in technology. Everyone has a smartphone and can take pictures of themselves. I take selfies too, but sometimes I delete them if I don't like how they look. I get self-conscious in front of the camera and struggle to pose for pictures. But there's one photograph of myself that I really love. It was taken at my cousin's wedding in Mumbai, which was a lavish affair that lasted for four or five days. There were so many different events, and we had a wonderful time at each one. There were professional photographers there, and the next day, after all the festivities were over, we sat down to look at the pictures. One picture in particular caught my eye. It shows me and two of my cousins applying henna to the bride-to-be. In the picture, I'm wearing a pink lehenga with gold jewelry, and my other cousin is wearing a magenta suit. The picture is so captivating and colorful, and I just love it. It was taken by a professional photographer, so it's been edited and enhanced. My aunt saw the picture and had it framed, gifting it to all four of us cousins. I hung it on the wall of my living room, and every time I walk past it, I'm flooded with happy memories of the wedding.
