Here you see me posing in a room filled with paraffin effervescence, a desi "totka" (lifehack) for making your own fog at home, perfect for cinematic shots.

​

One thing I didn't realize before locking myself in a room was that paraffin smoke is not very user friendly...

​

Long story short, after a 30 mins or so of constantly running back and forth to restart my timer and posing for the camera, I rushed out of the bathroom coughing as the light in my extremely reddened eyes was dimming, my senses impaired and my brain unable to form a thought (which it never can so I should be alright).

​

Nevertheless, after this I was a changed man. Not only was I unable to breathe properly without feeling like I'm being put in a chokehold but I also realized how much I enjoyed the chaos and thrill of media. The thrill of creativity, the thrill of visualizing your ideas, your emotions, the thrill of putting in all this effort and dedication in hopes of leaving a stranger pondering.

​

Its this very epiphany that made me realize that I wanted to study Media Studies in A levels, and here I am documenting my entire journey for you to see.
