dreams into reality

Bride’, a famous Hollywood film which had an over-protective father
trying to woo away his daughter from her genuine lover.

peer through the huge magnifying glasses, the beauty of this world comes
alive. Minute they may be, but definitely complete with bold defined
lines and splashes of colours.
