There was a time when photos were only taken by regular point-and-shoot-cameras, but now everything has changed. With the help of mobile phones and computers, people are taking billions of photos everyday from all parts of the world. I, myself, take so many pictures that I sometimes forget which photograph I took and when I took it. There is this one photograph I like the most. It’s just beautiful…

In this photograph I am carrying my niece and she is smiling up at me. I first saw the photograph about a week ago. I didn't even know the photograph existed until my sister showed it to me. I liked it so much that I made it the wallpaper background of my computer. Now, whenever I open the lip of my laptop, the first thing I see is that picture.
The photo shows happiness. I think it was taken four years ago, and shows how time has passed, how the world changes. After looking at the photograph, I remembered that my niece was crying a lot and my sister was about to give her to the nanny. At that moment I decided to step-in and hold her. Once I had her in my arms she got happy and smiled. At that perfect moment the photograph was taken. The picture shows a time when I was happy. It also shows at time when we all used to have an optimistic outlook of the world but now all optimism and love has just vanished from my life.

I had it enlarged and framed; it hangs in the living room where everyone can see the black and white.

I look with amazement at the picture and sometimes I can't believe I was so small and different looking at that time.
