Welcome to The Liminal Light

I’m Vidhya. I capture stories, fragments, and photographs from the in-between moments of everyday life. This space is a quiet collection of essays and images drawn from thresholds, pauses, and the ordinary moments that linger.

this season taught me that rest doesn’t need permission.
that slowing down can feel like coming home.

like chai summering in the stove,
the steady weight of a beloved book, resting in my lap,
soft light settling into the room,
and this little life curled up beside me.

Moments of Love | June 21 - 22, 2024

Last year, on the night of the summer solstice, I turned 32, and you 31. We laid side by side on a flimsy blanket, snuggled next to our significant others, gazing up at the night sky. It was late - or early depending on how one saw it, but despite the countless wildfires that were hazing up the summer skies, we were graced by a nearly cloudless night. It was another one of those moments, the kind the four of us shared so effortlessly. Time stood still, as we existed amongst one another in a silence that salved our souls, while we peered out into the center of the Milky Way, tracing its curves with our fingertips. Minutes passed before we spoke, and in those mere minutes I remember recognizing that feeling. The kind where nothing else mattered, because past and future remained in their place, and only that single moment, that sliver of time meant everything. I realized that on this night of the summer solstice, when I turned 32 and you 31, the four of us created a memory, one that would forever be etched into a small, folded corner, of a single page of our existence. A moment that captured the wonder, the awe, the essence of what it feels like to be lying side by side, next to the people you love, gazing up into infinity. Nothing but a minuscule spec of dust, floating through the vast Universal timeline, a memory that not a single individual would remember once the four of us ceased to exist, and yet somehow, one I felt, must have etched its mark into forever. A moment of feeling alive, feeling connected, and feeling beyond grateful for this version of the timeline where we get to exist, together.

[Excerpt from a Stream of Consciousness called Seance, on the blog]

I’ve been trying to dip my toes back into photography, with zero pressure of requiring my photos to look like ‘this’, or ‘that’, but simply trying to enjoy the act of taking photos again. This past summer, thanks to excitement for my new camera (a birthday gift from my love), I started carrying it around with me as often as I could. And sure enough, I began to feel the enthusiasm again, the interest in learning about photography, in experimenting with styles, trying out different compositions, and just genuinely enjoying capturing the moments that I loved existing in. These particular photos were taken on a Sunday evening in July, when me and my fiance decided to go to the island for a day at the beach, and catch the sunset over the city. Turns out, from the vantage point of Hanlan’s Point Beach, the Sun doesn’t actually set over the downtown skyline but rather Etobicoke. Despite the oversight, it was still a stunning scene that we basked in until the sky grew dark and the city lights flickered on. The seagull that you see in the photo, seemed to somehow know I had an interest in photographing the skyline, and stayed within my frame the entire time, giving me full on ‘main character energy’. Needless to say I jumped at the opportunity to have him as my model, and am certain that had he known he’d make it on the gram, he’d be happy to do it again. Until next time, thanks for reading <3

It’s been a particularly gloomy winter, despite the welcome patches of mild weather. I’ve been reminiscing of summer memories, when we watched the blue sky melt into cotton candy colours, as the sun set, and the moon took its place in the night. We’re not even into March yet and I’m already reassuring myself, ‘Soon. I’ll see it all again soon.’ 🍭💛
