My Life

This little creature “butterfly” played very significant role in transformation of my life. I was a caterpillar, one fine day one beautiful little butterfly came and touched my heart and made me a chrysalis. I was in dormant stage, was not able to fly with her. Today I came out from cocoon but I could not find my little butterfly, I wish to fly with her to take some color from rainbow and give this world a new shade.
Once she asked me to click butterfly that day I did not get, why she asked me to do so, but today I know the reason why she asked me to do so? I wish to share this with all my near and dear ones.
How many of you tried to snap a butterfly? If you did so, than you probably be acquainted with the answer. Recently I was at place which is one of the feathers of nature. That place was full of this colorful creation of God we call them butterflies. This little colorful creature taught me how to be patient. If you keep patience than you will insolently get the best shot of your life.

“Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting”.

This little butterfly and role model of mine which is here in this picture was snapped by me in the most beautiful forest I ever been in my life. It is very small butterfly and very notorious too, you could not find her sitting at one place. Whenever I tried to click her she just fly away and in no time disappear from my sight. Then one day I decided to take her down, I was patiently waiting for this butterfly to reappear. One  day I found her. I was very happy and excited after seeing her; before I reach my bag to grab my camera so that I can click her she disappeared. Next morning when I was walking down the forest she met me again this time I took my camera by the time I set camera on tripod once again she disappeared but I did not stopped my journey there. Finally one day I captured this beautiful butterfly in my camera for eternally. Now I realize why she asked me to click her because she wants to teach me, importance “of patience” in life.
