Cant be Transparent......

Ask anyone who knows me and all of them will tell you just one thing- that I am extremely a cute fella. However they also say that i look cute and simple only on the first impression. And once people know me, they loudly proclaim that i am a Devil In Disguise.

Is this the reason, this fellas are staring at me? But this was the first time we met. Could they have seen me in and Out. Could they have done that?

Food for Thought...

Our reason for sheer hardwork and slough is mere Food. But over a period the factor has taken a backseat and other luxuries in life have just popped out. But anyways notthing is as good as good food. And Nothing can beat Moms food.

Mom- I luv you and ofcourse your delicious food.

The Suspicious Creature

Once upon a time, there lived an weird cock called Mr. Suspicious. He was a pleasant looking man, but with a susupicious eye. He looked at his wife with Suspicion and so, his boss and peers. His relatives and close friends werent spared at All. All their good effort in helping him resolve this grave behaviour would backfire and they would meet their dead ends.

Few months turned into year and years into decade. Alas nothing could change this man. One fine day, his wife brought in a servant called as Mr. Good. Suprisingly things became better that year and the family ties improved. Now this lead to a good news in the family and a baby boy born. The mother named him Mr. Happy. And believe it or not the the Mr. Suspicious suddenly changed and became neutral. Abh Bolo Kyun??

.

Kyun ki , Suspicious ko good and Happy ne balance kiyain na baba. Arey yeh maine nahi newton ne Bola. I was trying my scriptwriting skills. Ok fine, no more stories from now on. Happy? Who says we have freedom in this Country?

Another Big North Indian Wedding

What do i say of about these North Indian wedding. They are big, infact Grand. Right from the clothes, Food and the Music, everything is planned and given utmost importance. The good food flows and there is so much of energy around. And then how can i miss the crowd. Folks the gurls are Hot and there is hariyali everywhere, just Everywhere. A sight for Sour eyes i say.

.

Was wondering when my friends drop down for my wedding ( many many yrs later)in Goa. The poor folks will be thoroughly dissapointed. Forget the food, there will be no hot babes too. The only gurantee i give is the Booze, Unlimited booze. So cheer, Lifes isnt that bad!

My Heartiest congratulations to the new couple on the block, Mr. & Mrs Jigyesh Mehta. Cheers.

Catching Time....

I wish time never passes by. But neverthless, i know its passing. And at a quite steady pace. How can i stop it?

Can SomeOne help me please???

"Oh! Do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch."

Touch and Run: Rajasthan

Another short trip to Rajasthan and this time again it's for a friends wedding. The best part of north indian weddings is the 2B's and 1K. Matlab Babes and Booze accompanied my mast khana. Wat can one ask for in life?

The trip though short was rather pleasant one. The only curse remained the sleeper compartment of my train. I need a bloody Ac one. And with india economy back on track, the AC tickets get sold out like hot cakes.

Ok fine, I know i am spoilt.

Random Sunday and Random Scribling

Why?

I say, why are we expected to do something in this journey called life. Do something that makes us proud, makes your parents happy and makes people to remember you after you are long gone. Born arent we with expectations. lol.

I dont want to achieve anything or overachieve nor Underachive. Let me be in peace.

" Watt the Fuck. I am good doing Nothing. Thank you."

A Slow death...

My past is crystal clear and the future is blur. The present is just stuck.

Am i dying a slow death??

" Tears are words the heart cant express"

FC- Faces that count

When i started my photography journey, I was asked " Dude, whats ur focus area". I had laughed then. How could one have a focus area in photography. You click things that you liked. How could one restrict themself to Potrait, Architecture, Landscape and All. However suprising, i am today into Potraits. Faces charm me and b\w photos induce me.

I have taken the liberty of posting photos of my workshop mates without seeeking prior permission. Kajari, Atul, Radhika -I just couldnt help posting this. Spare me.

Peace, Love and happy Click.

Fergusson College

Gods has been good to me these day. Lifes been better in terms of money, friends, health. Quit things that i would have loved too. Few things fallen in place, few more to settle.

As the Saying goes " Harr Kutte ka din Atha hain. Today is Mine"

PhotoGraphy Workshop @ British Library

Attended a Workshop at British Library. The idea behind my attendence were two things. Point A, that there would some fundamental technical learnings, that i could take out from the sessions. And B - Meet like minded people who have or wish to develop a passion for photography.

Point A proved to be decently good. However i have realised that i am more inclined towards what i exactly require in my frame, rather than keenly being involved in the technicalities like shutter speed and aperature. Point B - We have did a Photosession at Fergusson college which was a good start. Lets See how far the folks keep this passion alive.

The bottom line is that such activities keeps, One going. And sometimes, this is all That Matters.

2009..Here I Run..2010....

I wish that I could run,
Run into this world of photography of mine,
But Instead, I am just stuck here in office,
Until the clock strikes nine

And when no work hits me hard,
I enter into the web world of mine,
Where I sit, browse and drowse
Charming the beauties all the time

But then it strikes me of all,
How long will I be able to take this nonsense fall?
Scared to face this ruthless society,
Scared to break the shackles its set

So maybe it time to run,
To lope, jog and sprint
In the world of photography of mine
Back to the place I belong.

Congratulation !!!

Super Excited!!! My photographs have been published in the ASIAN PHOTOGRAPHY November 2009 issue. I had submitted the Ajanta & Ellora trip photographs in September this year and hadn’t heard from them since then. Luckily got to visit the Crossword store today and was truly amazed to have got my photographs published in the well known photo magazine.

Its wonderful for an amateur photographer to have got his photographs published. Cant express the feeling through words.

Excerpt:

Dear Asian Photography,
I would like to this opportunity to share the photographs of my visit to Ajanta and Ellora caves. The Unesco World heritage sites are located near Aurangabad in Maharashtra. The rock-cut cave monuments dating from the second century BCE, contain paintings and sculpture considered to be masterpieces of Buddhist religious art.

The photos had been taken in January 2009 from my Canon 1000D, predominately using the 18-55mm lens. I was amazed by the sheer beauty of the sculptures and paintings, thereby inspiring me to capture this truly world class state of art.

I hope these publications encourage more Photo Enthusiastic to visit and appreciate the history engulfed in this art.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks ASIAN Photography and I shall impatiently await the besotted prize.

Marriage - Not mine though

Its Raining Marriages. My school friends are getting married, My college friends are doing the same and my cousin seems to be following it too. I juealised that i have recieved atleast 15 mail invites in that last 1 week. Wow, Its raining Marriages for Sure.

Anyways, until i aint marrying, i have nothing to worry. So cheers to all who got married and a greater cheers to those who are still single and very much eligible.

Stuck in my Glorious Past

One day, as i was lazing about, God appeared out of nowhere and started a conversation.

God: Mr. Saish, where are heading to?

Saish: Me? Nowhere God. where do i need to go. Its such a lovely place up here.

God: You mean you arent heading anywhere in Life?

Saish: Errr.

God: Are you atleast waiting for someone?

Saish: Yup, my friends. They have gone somewhere but will be back soon.

God: haha. Poor Boy. They have all moved ahead in a new world and a new life.

Thats when it hit me that “There's only one me, and I'm stuck with him.”

A Sweet Pull Off...

Wow!! After a long time in my three and half years of my career i have finally been able to pull something off. And this moment is something to be cherished. People say there comes a time for evrything and guess my time had come. I somehow believe in a combination of destiny and luck, as they tend to do magic for some and agony for others. It's tough to routinly work on same thing again and again without rewards. But when it does come, the routine task does not look routine any more. Anyways over the years, i have learned of what needs to be done on work front and specifically what needs to be ignored.

Ladies and Gentleman - A big wow to me and my hard work. Cheers.

A guilt Free Life

Its late at night. And as always i wondering and thinking. I am thinking of me. What am i doing wrong? And why is my right's taking a backseat to my wrongs. I want to ignore the wrong's and lead a guilt free life. I just want to live a fairytale life.
