EP 62 : DMs se Pyaar: First Slide, Right Swipe (Part 01) 17:28

Namaste friends, welcome to Dil Se Dil Tak. So friends, have you ever thought that love can start with a slide? Today's story is one of those love stories that came true after leaving the digital world. So let's listen to Anjali and Rohit's story, Love from DMs.

Anjali, lost in the twinkling of the night in Mumbai, was a regular IT professional. After running daily, when she used her phone, her world would change. Scrolling through her Instagram, she was pulled by a profile. Rohit, a travel photographer.

Rohit's every picture was no less than heaven. Beautiful valleys, wild forests, snowy mountains. He was capturing the beauty of the world in the camera. Anjali herself was fond of photography. But in her busy life, the camera was just a travel companion. Without thinking, she followed Rohit. After some time, a notification came on her phone. Rohit had followed her back.

Anjali happily jumped up. She liked some old photos of Rohit. After a while, Rohit sent a message. "Thanks for the follow. Your profile picture is amazing. Where was that clicked?" Anjali immediately replied. "Thanks. I took that picture on Ladakh trip. By the way, your photos are amazing. It seems you have travelled the whole world."

The chatting started and hours passed by Anjali felt that she couldn't talk to anyone for so long Rohit was very fond of traveling and Anjali was interested in every story of his She told him that he also does travel photography workshop

Anjali told him that she is very fond of photography but did not do anything at the professional level. Rohit told her about his workshop and invited her to join. She knew that this is not just a photography workshop but it is like taking a step into a new world.

In the next few days, he kept chatting. Rohit taught him a lot about photography. He told Anjali that he also lives in Mumbai, which made their conversation more interesting. Anjali was impatiently waiting for the day when she would go to Rohit's workshop. She was a little nervous, but the thought of meeting Rohit was also motivating her.

Anjali learned a lot in the whole day's workshop. Rohit was an excellent photography guru. But his style was more special than that. The hobby he was telling about photography, he felt that the camera was his breath. While leaving the workshop environment, Anjali had many questions in her mind. Rohit didn't take long to think about it. He came close and asked, "Do you want to ask something?"

Anjali had a question in her eyes. She said with a little hesitation. "Yes, you told me that you have travelled the whole world. Your photography is so great. How long did it take you to learn all this?" Rohit smiled and said, "Oh no, it wasn't that easy. It took years of hard work. I became crazy about photography after my first trip. I took the camera and left to gather the world.

Anjali's eyes were filled with excitement. She asked, "So, what was your first trip?" Rohit replied, "My first trip was to Himachal. It was a small trip with friends. But the beauty of the mountains, the cool breeze, the desire to capture everything in the camera, and then, that's it. It became a passion."

Rohit's eyes were shining, which was telling his story. Anjali felt that he was also traveling with Rohit on the same trip. He said further, "You also have a hobby of photography, right?" Anjali said with a light smile, "Yes, but not like you. I just take some photos while I'm traveling."

Rohit said, "No, you need talent in photography too, but the vision is more important than that. Vision of seeing. If you want to see beauty in the eyes, then she gets trapped in the camera. Anjali's heart began to beat. She thought that maybe it is necessary to change her vision, to see the world from a new perspective.

Rohit said, "Okay, would you like to go for a photography outing next weekend? I am taking some people for location photography. Maybe you will also get to learn something." Anjali said a little surprised, "I will definitely come. Okay, then we will meet next weekend. And yes, do practice these days." Rohit said bye.

Anjali came out smiling. From the snowy mountains to the golden deserts, she was eagerly waiting to experience a new world through the camera. Perhaps this was not just a photography workshop, but a new chapter in her life was about to begin. The next few days were very exciting for Anjali.

She took out the camera which she used to keep in the cupboard. She looked at old photos, found photography tips on the internet and tried to try some new angles told by Rohit. Every day she would chat with Rohit and talk about the upcoming trip. During that time, Rohit told that he does not go alone. He has a friend with him, Abhay, who is an expert in photography.

Abhay plans the trip, finds the location and gives Rohit technical support in photography. Anjali was a little scared to go with two strangers. But Rohit told her that Abhay is very friendly.

After a week, the weekend arrived. Anjali packed her bag with nervousness. Camera, tripod, battery and water bottle. She checked everything properly. She reached the meeting point in the morning. There were some more people standing there. Maybe the rest of the people who were going on the trip. Anjali was feeling a little lonely. Then a boy came towards her and said with a smile.

Are you Anjali? She nodded her head in agreement. Yes, I am Abhay, Rohit's friend. He said his hand forward. Anjali answered by shaking hands. Hi, Abhay turned out to be very friendly. He introduced Anjali to other people. After a while, Rohit also came. He smiled at Anjali and said, So let's go.

Soon they all got in a taxi and left the city. On the way, Rohit told them that he was taking them to a beautiful lake where the sunset is amazing. After hours of journey, they reached their destination. The lake was really beautiful. The sun was about to set and the sky was colored with red, yellow and orange colors.

Abhay had already found some locations. He gave instructions to the other people and everyone went in different directions with their cameras. Anjali was a little confused. She didn't know where to start. Then she saw that Rohit was coming towards her. Is there any problem? She asked. Anjali said in a flutter,

"Yes, this... I am not that good a photographer. I am a little scared." Rohit smiled and said, "Don't be scared. There is no need for perfection in photography. It is just important to see it from your point of view. Look, that bird sitting on the tree or the rays of the sun falling on the water. Lock them in the camera." Rohit told Anjali some easy angles and explained some settings of the camera.

Anjali gathered her courage and started taking photos. The evening was dark and the sky was completely dark. Everyone gathered again. Everyone showed each other the photos taken on their camera. Anjali was a little nervous, but when she saw her photos, she was happy. Rohit also saw some of her photos and praised her.

She said that Anjali has a special thing in her eyes. She sees the world from a different perspective. Anjali liked Rohit's words. She thought that photography is not just about taking photos, but it is a new way of seeing the world.

They stayed at a hotel at night. After dinner, everyone was sitting near the fireplace and talking. Rohit told some stories of his travels, which Anjali listened to with full attention. In the stories, the beauty of the mountains, blue sea and jungles of the faraway mountains came alive.

Anjali thought that this is the world she used to see only in photos. But now she can experience it with her camera lens. The night became darker and the cold wind started blowing. Everyone started going to their rooms. Anjali thanked Rohit for giving her a chance to be on this trip. "There is no need to thank me, Anjali." Rohit smiled. "I am happy that you came."

Your photos were really good. There is a special poem hidden in your eyes. Anjali was embarrassed. You are praising a lot. He said. Rohit laughed and said, No, this is true. Technique is important in photography. But more important than that is the way you tell your story. And I think you have a lot of stories that the world needs to see.

Anjali thought that perhaps Rohit was right. Perhaps he has a different perspective on the world. There is a story that he can explain through photos. The next day they got up early to see the sunrise. Like a fireball, the sun was coming out from the east. The sky was colored with red, orange and purple colors.

Anjali tried her best to capture this beautiful scene with her camera. After some time, they left for their home. On the way, Rohit told them about the next trip. It was a one-week trek on a high mountain. Anjali asked a little, "Can I also come on that trip?" Rohit smiled. "Absolutely. Your photos were great and you have learned a lot."

So be ready next time for a higher height journey. Anjali happily jumped up. This trip was not just a chance to learn from photography, but also a sign of starting a new chapter in her life. Perhaps this journey will not only give her beautiful photos, but also show a new way to find yourself. It is hoped that this story has touched your heart.
