Hello,
You are reading the post from “Things I Noticed” on my site.
Here are few things from my past week that caught my attention -
Things I noticed - A flower older than 32000 years were bloomed.
I saw a post about on Instagram about a flower blooming after 32000 years because a squirrel preserved the immature seeds. However, the post did not confirm the date of this news.
Well, I was curious and found an article from National Geographic (Link↗)
The page states - A Russian team discovered a seed cache of Silene stenophylla, a flowering plant native to Siberia, that had been buried by an Ice Age squirrel near the banks of the Kolyma River (map). Radiocarbon dating confirmed that the seeds were 32,000 years old.The mature and immature seeds, which had been entirely encased in ice, were unearthed from 124 feet (38 meters) below the permafrost, surrounded by layers that included mammoth, bison, and woolly rhinoceros bones.
Imagine what all are preserved or unfound by us.
I alway have a fear of the oceans. They hold secrets that even skies might fear I believe.Movies I Watched - A beautiful mind, Hoppers, Project Hail Mary, They Will Kill You.
A thought that lingered - I dont think I am a good human to be a serviceman of god.
I think god created us to be humans first and then serve god. But, with things going on around us, we are slowly loosing grip on what it means to be humans.I started a film photography page -
If you know me, I am a huge fan of photography. To freeze a moment in time, that has a story or a meaning is something I always wanted to do, and with the workshop I attended in Early February, Film photography is what I thought suited my hunger for story.
Film photography is moment captured but with uncertainty of the results. it is solely for me to capture a moment - rest all is me trusting and hoping it comes good. Atleast until I become familiar with the mechanics and then I can play around with the way I want my image to look.
I post photos that are my archive of film captures that I think are the best of the bunch and share occasional mishaps and out of focus shots here.

I click the first picture of my family in the kitchen. It was out of focus as I am still learning but the meaning it captured was beautiful to me.
First click using my film camera - More on melvinraj.in The left burn indicates it was the first film of the roll and I am happy with it staying this way.
