Freedom?

As we just celebrated Independence Day, we both started discussing about various things and I suppose one question got stuck in our mind. And so we thought – why not ask a few of our friends and see what their opinions were. And the answers we got were pretty unexpected and eye opening.

What does freedom means to you?

‘Freedom to me is not being judged by anybody.’

‘Freedom is being independent of everyone’

‘Freedom is playing soccer like as soon as I step in the field, I forget all my problems.’

‘Freedom is having 3 beers a day with my friends- legally.’

‘Freedom is living by my choices.’

‘Freedom is to do anything whatsoever, however, where ever and whenever – in short to be free as a bird.’

‘Freedom is being happy.’

‘Freedom is when my thought process calls it a day.’

‘Freedom is doing what I love.’

‘Freedom is no drama.’

‘Freedom is being myself – wild and spontaneous.’

‘Freedom is to love, live, laugh and roam free.’

Even though all these answers sum up mostly all we wanted to say but to put it in a nutshell  –

To us, freedom is being independent of everyone about everything. Freedom is having no outside influence on my thoughts and decisions. It also means to have the opportunity to do anything without any disruption or judgement. Freedom isn't being free, its feeling free from within yourself. Freedom is being able to be what you are, choosing what you want to do today, tomorrow, whenever. It’s the right to express yourself completely from head to toe.

So what does freedom mean to you?

We started scrapbooking as a hobby, only for it to turn into an obsession. It’s the easiest and the most creative way to catalogue your memories. It helps in retaining the fun times you have had in your life (plus it can always cheer you up on a low day!). It’s always a god reminder of how blessed we are to have such great family and friends to have such amazing memories with.

What is scrapbooking?

Scrapbooking is an activity to help you preserve memories in an imaginative and creative way. It is basically a more graphic version of your everyday journal! Scrapbooking is very freelanced, it can done be in any way that clicks in your mind. Here is how we did it:

Even though I use a very approachable and hands-on method, Akshita’s method is a tad bit more time consuming. I usually catalogue any day that I had fun on; it could even be a random day at the mall! Whereas Akshita likes to scrapbook more of the important people in her life and her dreams and aspirations. Even though it’s a an old pastime, it’s a very fun and interesting way to unleash your imaginative beast! J

What all do you need?

The basic supplies of scrapbooking are just simply some pens and papers, scissors, some glue and obviously your favourite pictures! For a more extensive kit one can use stickers, washi tapes( you’ll be amazed at the variety of patters available) , punches , lace , pattern papers and after this? Go wild with your imagination.
