I am not that big a Narcissist or a self-centred individual, who goes on clicking & posting self-pics or Selfies for the world!
(We know some people who do that!)
I love taking photographs & that means that I am missing in the frame of the photographs I take!
My child is very happy clicking Selfies using the smart-gadgets! I love her Happy Creativity!
As she indulges in it very often, clicks Selfies with the two of us and puts up her creative works of art, all I have to do is smile and pose and 'say Cheese' when sherequests demands that I do!
When I informed my daughter that I'll be attending Bahar Dutt's book-launch in British Council, Kolkata, she demanded that I click a Selfie with Bahar!
Bahar Dutt is a noted media-person, TV-journalist, environmentalist & now the writer of her maiden book 'Green Wars'.
"Selfie is the new autograph", my daughter said.
As I hummed & hawed, she warned, "Don't dare to come home without it!"
Bahar Dutt's book-launch was a great event.
After it was over, a part of me wanted to leave as it was already pretty late in the evening & my home is very far from there.
Plus, there already was a big queue with people waiting for Bahar Dutt to autograph their copies of her maiden book.
Yet, the brave part of me ventured to attempt my inaugural Selfie with a Celeb!
I found myself taking Bahar's permission for the same to which she readily agreed.
Some elderly people over there smirked, knowingly nodded their heads in approval & remarked, "This is the latest fashion!"
That's when I realized that I had never clicked a Selfie before! I knew how to take a Selfie, but had never done it before!
My child has had always clicked our Selfies, remember?
I missed my daughter a lot in those few seconds while I struggled with my smartphone in that space where everyone was vying for Bahar's attention...
All this while, Bahar graciously smiled & sportingly bore with me.
And then the smart-tech-lover in me clicked!
I did manage my first Selfie pretty well! What do you say?
In the second pic, a Photobomber has made her way!
I now know where exactly to look so that my eyes face the right portion of the screen!
I have now figured out how to take a Selfie in style & with an intact smile!
Now that I have practised such a lot, my future Selfies with Celebs should be much better! :D

ReplyDeleteYes, 'practice makes perfect' :) Thank you so much!
DeleteThat's a cool attempt..it does take quite a bit of practice to get a good selfie shot. I've recently got a selfie stick too but have yet to really figure out how to work it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the appreciation :) I agree that practice is much needed!
DeleteThat's wonderful. Am sure you'll figure out how to use use the selfie-stick. Happy clicking! :)

ReplyDeleteWelcome to my space, Ruth!
DeleteThanks for sharing your views :)
aap aaye BAHAAR aai .. Anita m still confused about the name is it bahaar or bahar (out wala) :P :)
ReplyDeleteBhavana, her name refers to the Bahaar you have referred to & not the out one :) No confusion!
DeleteI am still learning the art of selfies, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI like this one, and thanks for linking with Abracabadra. Your takes are unique and I look fwd to it :)
We are on the same boat, Ruchira! I am always a student :)
DeleteThanks a lot for your nice words :)
I bet you look great in a selfie, as for me: I will be disappointed with a selfie of myself. I don't like any photo of me.
ReplyDeleteWil, ABCW Team.
Thanks for your compliment, Wil :)
DeleteI guess you are comfortable behind the camera like many people :)
i'm confused who is the celebrity here :D
ReplyDeleteFor now Bahar- the left lady in the pic :)
DeleteI have never taken a selfie on my phone cam. I know it doesn't turn out great. But I got to see a clearer shot of you than the one that shows up in your profile :)..I like Ankur's comment above :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter takes great Selfies. I never had to attempt! :)
DeleteHave shared some of my pics in Social Media, despite not being too comfortable! The one in my profile is a cropped one :)
Will put up a nicer shot!
:D Don't qualify for the Celeb tag as yet! Have to achieve something substantive :)
I have no doubts soon you will be in the desired limelight and the dark mean people will burn out :)
DeleteThanks Alok!
ReplyDeleteWooooooow...gr8 shots! Love them! Happy clicking! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Amrita :D
Deleteyou are so ugly and dumb and stupid and an own domain yet it (still) looks like a cheap blogger blog
ReplyDeletemessy cheap too many this and that aaaahhh
My dear Anonymous teacher,
DeleteBeauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
It'll be really good for me to get some tips from you how to make my Blog better.
Thanks in advance :)
@Anita, dear - some people are born to spread negativity....They show exactly how a human being should not behave or speak .....So much to preach and so much negativity to share with anonymity....
DeleteNow this is what I tell my kid not to do... You are right Anita , "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". But in the blogging world beauty doesn't matter. And your writings are much more beautiful..
DeleteThank you so much, @Vidhya & @Vinitha :)
DeleteGreat people believe in the beauty & purity of the heart & mind.
My face did make it to the cover-page of Femina, a leading women's magazine in India :)
The words we use reflect our character. I value the truth & beautiful thoughts & actions.
May we all be blessed :)
