Study of the Sun

The sun rises in the east – an every-day event that occurs everywhere. Sun rise symbolises the beginning of a new day, generates hope, floods my world with light, ushers warmth in a chilly morning, delights my mind, refreshes my mood, puts an end to darkness, astonishes me with its beauty, paints my world with vibrant colours, invigorates my soul, illuminates the day, lightens up my heart, inspires me, makes me reflect, brightens up my day, makes me wonder, creates rainbows and fills me with the sheer joy of being alive.

Anupama Dhamala is a student from the workshop conducted by theasiamag.com’s Pictures Editor, Debby Ng. The workshop, held in Kathmandu between February and March 2011, is a year-long project that encourages creative and critical thinking through photography. Anupama is enrolled in the Underprivileged Girls Education Support Program (UGESP) established by the Little Sisters Fund.

The workshop is a joint project by theasiamag.com, the Little Sisters Fund, Takshashila Academy, and The Patatas.

The same way the sun always rises and sheds light onto all of us after the dark and gloomy night, we must all understand that there always come bright, shining days after some dark time in our lives.
