"అనుక్షణం ఒకటే ఒక్క పని చెయ్యినచో, hmm , కాస్త విశ్రమించు, ఇంకేదో చెయ్యి. Not wrong tho. Anyway...

TL: DR

So, guys, little breaks and evening rest won't hurt. And if what you've been doing has preoccupied you and lived through you, let it and it will get through the times.

NTL:WR

Perhaps you're rooting for the sufferer in deep vein (or vain, depending on intent), initiating and continuing conversations that are weighed down by impalpable pain. You meet and share surprising conversations (perhaps lasting just a few hours, but they are the best ones). You prefer thinking, talking, and writing about them. You strive to your very best to keep on working, revisiting, redoing, typing, studying, and doing whatever it takes to continue. Some of you are buckling up, while others are yet to bounce back. Overall, exhausting, isn't it? Ma and Dad essentially meant "Break the day that never seems to have a braking system at all". Let's talk about that. Many of us need it, don't we? See, with all that very same self-drive, channel that into something else cause kuch na kuch parivarthan is cool. Audio could keep playing from afar. That sound helps you work better than elevate the drift speed! Maybe, go watch Executive Decision. Go watch a film. It's been ages. Go for a walk (not while subconsciously doing that Active Recall) so let loose on the lawn. Above all, go out to get some clothes for real. Not the early 2000s wardrobe of your parents. Not the 2017 wedding shopping bag.

To me, oh I really need that !! Around May/June 2017, for cousin sister's marriage occasion, the late night shopping was the end. That satin and smooth blue gown fit so well btw. Before that, it was easily <2014.

------------------------------

It started with a relentless hunt, going out of my mind digging through folders to find that one (and one more picture, too). Next thing I know, I got bombarded with 243 essential pictures retrieved from a Gmail account that is a total desert of monochromatic content. Thankfully, the bin didn’t have none, so I got them back, which were completely missing from OneDrive. And that was a shocker. Glad about the latter.

None of this would have been on my way if I hadn't rejected the idea of a random compilation. Initially, the game plan was to run all the black-and-white photos through the scanner, one by one, with zero exceptions. But after everything that happened, the priority list evolved. Now, it's non-negotiable that the pictures sparking genuine joy and emotional necessity, the colorful ones, and the monochromatic memories, deserve their own spot on the scanner.

One specific picture I was staring at was completely missing from OneDrive and every single folder on This PC leaving nothing behind but a redundant video projects folder. The realization hit like a truck. WHAT NOW? The only answer was to drag every single photo and album back together, forcing myself to classify that Original Folder now. I kept thinking about how much Google Photos content was missing from OneDrive, maybe just two or three images, but that 'but' was agonizing. Had to ask mom to stop brushing my hair because the knots felt as twisted and tangled as my thoughts. I went out to the lawn just to breathe. These old memories have been buried out of sight for so long that the past and present are blurring together, so they better be where they gotta be. At some point, even the 1TB and stuff need rest. Honest rest.

Asalu ae okkati open chesina, it looks infinite. Always.

P.S. The Photo Studio is looking goood.

P.S. To get the absolute fullest view of what I’m dealing with, I’ve consolidated all the Digitized, Undigitized, and miscellaneous photo-based folders into the Original One. The urgent priority right now is to pull every last picture out of it. No more tech scares. Not again. My brain always pushes me to envision these complex scenarios, and honestly, it’s with good reason…more often than not. Following a grueling week of daily reviews that started back on January 3rd (go check my previous posts, peeps!), this crazy day has officially earned its place. It became one more picture, too. :)

P.S. Out of the blue (the blue that often doesn't make me blue), the kind of sudden twist that actually lifts my spirits, I felt inspired to make a video. It felt like the exact right moment to unearth that untouched, deeply loved collection of hidden gems. I want to share it with my mom, and honestly, waiting around isn't an option. I have to make it happen now. No matter how this day unfolded, not a single second was wasted. Even so, this project is going to take a lot of time, judging by how today went and what’s left to finish! I’m going to keep expanding it. I simply can’t skip out on celebrating the pure beauty of a wholesome moment. On a side note, after two weeks, mom finally sat down and watched that video. Seeing it actually live, breathe, and exist shook me just as deeply as it did her. My next step is figuring out the best way to share both of them.

Met a person, and observed his passion surrounding birds and wildlife, and we both got the point that we were trying to convey. Noise reduction, detail and so much more! An intergenerational connection.

It's almost 9 pm and the intra-generational one is still going on.
