Today, I was in a meeting where at the start we had to introduce ourselves, and share our hobbies/passions using just pictures.

I learnt in real time that nothing in the professional journey of an individual can give you a hint about their passions.

For example, I had a colleague whose hobby is taking pictures of manholes in different places she travels to. It was the first time I was hearing about such a hobby, but the sneak peek she offered had me wowed.

It helped me see the beauty in what I would usually just tread past.

I became more conscious of the beauty around me – from light poles to door handles.

I am thankful for little treasures that are unearthed in random conversations.
