And I want to make lots of them. Pictures capture what I wouldn’t probably trust my mental RAM with.They make me happy, they allow me to cherish what I once saw and craved to remember but forgot nonetheless. So I just click whatever I like. No, I don't think about what angle it would look best in or what frame would do the object justice. I just click. The rest is luck.” Sanchi seldom is seen stable and loves to explore new horizons. Photography being the latest one, she hopes she can capture some more memories.
