Humans Of London

I have been painting for years now and I love it. Since last year I hardly got any chance to brush up my skills, due to the busy schedule. So, I said to myself I need to get back - I picked up my brush and here I am. Apart, from painting I love writing too. I have written a book called The Lantern Lady which was nominated as a best book by Good housekeeping in 2016. I will be refining the book and shall aim to win award of the best book in 2018. If you had to give 1 advice to everyone what it would be "Do what you like/enjoy doing, stay focus and you're destined to success"

Hi my name is Woody and as you can see- I'm an Schnauzers Miniature. I love rounding in parks. I'm lucky, as my human take me out twice a day. My human adores me a lot and I feel my only duty is to love him back. They also take me for grooming sessions- twice a week, so I can look fleek. It's time for my grooming session now, so I have to go and I will talk to you later.

"We have been friends for a long time now and know each other exceptionally well for 14 years now; all the little insider facts of each other as well. We are retired, free now and on X5 tour as we speak, circumventing around places in alphabetical order A to Z. Our companionship is our emotionally supportive system and we needn't bother with any advanced digital likes to help our ethics. "If you have to pass a message to everyone what will it be?” You can have 100’s of digital friends, yet when hard time hits its only genuine companions standby, rest would blur away - So, if you have any such genuine companions. We would counsel you to appreciate them until the end of time"

"I have been fishing over 60 years and I just love it - It helps me to relax. People, go for commercial fishing wherein they would have all the amenities like shade, restaurants and so on. As its commercial fishing, they log these fishes in one place and you can catch the fishes. Yes, you might catch lots of fishes but – it's not the real fun, is it? As the name says- it's commercial. I like it here – it's all about patience which we lack these days. "How attached are you to your fishing gear?" Let me tell you an incident- someone broke into my shed and took away all of my finish gears- I like to keep my shed tidy, which made it more easy for them to nick it. When I found out in the morning, I was sick and saddened by this. I had collected those gears for 15 years, and it was all gone. I am sure they'd have not even made £100 out of it – but it meant a lot to me. I am not even sure why they even did it, was it deliberately or was it just for fun. I cogitate about this every day. "How did you overcome this incident?" When I reflect back to that night, I remember looking after my daughter. If I would have heard the noise I would have rushed down and opened the door and two things could have happened. First, I could have shouted and they'd have run away. Second, in their defense they'd have hit me with arms (iron rod ) and things would have been even worse. As long as my family and my daughter were safe nothing else mattered to me- as they mean the whole world to me. As you can see, over the years I slowly started to built my gears again and here I am. While I'm fishing, I see young people pass by and they all look stressed and always on their phones. During our days if we had to communicate – we would just talk like you and me now. Yes, technology has helped us but by giving more importance to it, we are letting it rule us. " If you had to give one advice- what it would be?" "Some are rich, some are poor, no state is constant – rich might be poor tomorrow and poor might be rich. So my advice would treat everyone with empathy, be humble and always keep smiling." , , ,
