I recently had an idea of going somewhere around Kathmandu and capturing some random moments.Kathmandu valley without a doubt is a terrific place when it comes to photography but I wanted to try somewhere and something different.So, me and my friend thought of going to Sankhu, an ancient Newari town located in north eastern - corner of Kathmandu.While walking down the streets of Sankhu Bazar we had this incredible moment to encounter: a middle aged newari mom. We saw her sitting down on her balcony and told her to smile.She indeed gave an innocent and adorable smile and this is where things took a turn. She came down properly dressed and wanted more of her photos to be clicked. Being frankly honest we enjoyed every moment, the typical front yard of her newari house was not a yard anymore , it was her stage and she was the main role there. She was a perfect example of how you should live your life and make each moment count.Now the thing that got me in the feels was - we both were a complete stranger to each other , it was our first time there in Sankhu and due to the turn of events we face in life we met. Two strangers who had no idea about the existence of each other now have that little piece of memory about each other and I guess this is what makes the world a beautiful place to live in.
She taught us a lot of positive things within that short period of time we had.
Enjoy every moment you have and make the most out of it.
