So , this week I aggregate and tell stories about things that hold personal meaning for me. As I began to go around this task, I naturally started looking around my room to spot out these objects. And obviously one of them is this MacBook I am using to publish this article.

I'm not a very ‘selfie’-ish person and usually take photos of things that make me tick, excite, amaze. These could be new places of travel, aesthetic objects, artifacts in a museum, a beautifully designed restaurant or even humans that surprise me. So I started scrolling my gallery to look for these things.

The entire activity became very easy after I discovered a photograph of my farewell cake before coming to the US. This was prepared by my family including siblings, sister-in-laws and my parents. As you'll see below the cake has miniatures of things that my life revolves around.

My farewell cake by my family❤️

On a side-note, cakes are not something I appreciate because I do not consume sugar except occasional indulgences in authentic Indian sweets.

I was elated that day to know how well my family understands me. Elaboration of the objects is here: https://steller.co/arpitranka23/
