A morning of horror

It isn’t like, I don’t like taking bath. Nor that I have anything against cleanliness.

But a cold water bath on a cloudy morning in Bangalore ???? And wait, what about all that ‘Go Green’ stuff. I am trying to actually save water here. Is that too much to ask ?

So I cried. Tried hiding under dirty clothes. Stuck myself with bed corner.
Nevertheless it was scheduled time of bath and the lady of the house won’t let me go away without it.

I could have tried giving, 'it-hurts' look, huh. Guess its too complex expression for my face.

Diwali Photographer

After the digital camera has made it very easy to shoot as many pictures as you want with almost no expense, I realized that I too have a 'hobby' for photography. Adding to this, many of my friends asked me how I took one of the photo I posted on orkut.

Result is this post.


Here is how:

To take the photo you need: one candle, one sparkler, one digital camera and one person to take the picture (provided that you want to be in the photo rather than taking it.)

For the camera setting, keep the camera in shutter-priority mode and make the shutter speed low. For the above photo it was 1/4 second.

Now light the sparkler in the middle. (The usual practice is to light at the tip, but we need double ring effect, right?) This will cause the sparkler to have 2 burning ends starting from middle and going away from eachother.

Now band the metal end of the sparkler a little so that it is easy to 'rotate' the sparkler in your hand. Now rotate it and ask the camera man to take few pictures. Select the best of them to show your friends.

Few more photos taken during diwali vacation.

Pahechano Kaun

After almost a decade, and following some learning from learn-to-draw, today I created my first drawing. Its far from what can be called even a good drawing.

I asked Purvi to recognize the face. After few try I told that this person is on the front page of today's Times of India.

After comparing the photos, she said, "yes, exactyly he is. Just need to improve little on the right ear, left cheek, upper head and lower lip."
She liked the eyes and suit anyway.

From her feedback I am just postponing the question to be asked to anybody for a few days.
Here is my creation.
He is not Andrew Symonds after a hair-cut.

See Nothing But Photo

While visiting Ootakamandalam aka Ooty some time back one board caught the 'eye' of my camera.
A good way to convey message, i m going to follow that.
