Passion Allowance

Just the other day a friend of mine mentioned how her company was offering its employees a “passion allowance”! What a fantastic gesture for a company to give a gentle nudge to its employees in the right direction and do something so unique. Note to self – talk to my HR.

Having a passion for something, anything is absolutely essential, because to my mind that elevates your life from a mere existence to actual living. To wake up in the morning and to look forward to that time during the day or the weekend, where I am free to indulge in that one thing which makes me soar, that’s what keeps me from getting jaded.

Being an enthusiastic person, has meant that I have had a lot of passions to pursue!! My latest passion which I stumbled upon during a plateau phase was photography. My firm was running a worldwide contest on “Best pics of your city”. Contest always rev me up and this one was no different. I rambled through various parts of Mumbai taking pictures – what a high! Attached below are few of the pictures then. Ah, I want my camera now..



This is a picture I took of a group of girls selling flowers at a traffic signal. There were so amused at me taking a pic from the car and their expressions are so natural. One of my favourites



I was with my head out of a cab at Marine Drive clicking furiously en route a meeting



My fave haunt Colaba where you can see all kinds of folks - God man!



Kala Goda - see the black horse!



The Girl with the Balloons. One of my other favourites



An overcast day in Mumbai - Im only happy when it rains........
