To be and to be...

   The new year is here! (almost. If you see the post timing) And everybody is welcoming her like one welcomes a newly wed girl to her new home. Nobody knows how she will adjust. Nobody knows how she will treat others. But, she is pretty. So, smile and hope for the best. As i look back at 2011 i find a blur of events that have left a deep crater on my mind. Yes, the year 2011 has been one of the hardest to get through. But, it has gone by faster than i could have hoped for. Why has it been difficult? Don't ask. Hell lot of reasons. But, this year has also been the one to make me a lot more mature. For me, its not the same excitement of a brand new year. Its the excitement of a brand new life. I do not have a long list of resolutions which i can never keep up. There is just one resolution. To Be a Better Person. hopefully i can be that. And for that lemme start off by wishing you all a very Happy New Year! But, more than you guys, i have to wish someone else:

   A very Happy New Year to all the people working in the countless malls, pubs, restaurants overtime on new years eve and new years night to make sure we can have an eventful New Year. To all those who serve us with a smile at 12:00 midnight despite them wanting to be at home with their family. To those who guard the malls and patiently try handling the drunk "celebraters" while they would want to head home and celebrate with a toast themselves. To those who help us in any other way possible so that we can have a memory of as to how we welcomed the new year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to you guys. May this year indeed be a very happy one for you guys.
   Also a very Happy New Year to all the drivers driving tonight. (The city transport department has kept a few of  the city buses functioning for longer hours into the night to avoid drunken driving.) BMTC, KSRTC, KPN,SHARMA, CITY TAXI, EASY CABS etc., etc., you better be paying your drivers bonuses for their sacrifice this New Year. While we are wasted beyond limits and are in the happiest times of our lives these drivers make sure they take us home safely. Thank you, once again form the bottom of my heart.
   A very Happy New Year to the city's traffic police department who are working overtime to ensure law and order does not get disrupted on the very first couple of hours of the New Year. (hopefully you'll not take us for a ride at lest tonight. if not for the entire year.)
   And last but not the least...  a very Happy New Year to the Common Man for whom the new year is just one night of celebrating after which everything comes back to normal. (just as quickly as the clock strikes 12:00 after that its not 12:00 anymore... its 12:00:01 and so on... ) Its the same race to have a secure future for the family, for the kids... Its the same crowding at budget hotels for a family lunch,dinner.... its the same shopping at the mega discount sale... its the same rush to fill petrol the night before yet another price hike hoping to save some bucks.... its all the same... its just a new year... just a New Year....
 

Teri? nahi! Meri? nahiii!!! Merry Christmas!

    I think more than any other festival, in India, Christmas is the one with maximum anticipation and excitement. Its the winter season. everybody's cozy with their partner, family. Its the year end and relatively low work pressure and more holidays. (Not applicable to everyone) and a lot of lights everywhere! A lot of people everywhere. on the streets, in the mall, in the car, on the scooters, every place available man! Perhaps the only place where there are no people is the homes of those people! So what? Feel a part of the crowd! feel not so alone for once!!! So, a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!

   Oh, one more thing :) everyone becomes a photographer. Some adjust with their mobile cameras while some bring their high zoom lens cameras and fidget with the camera setting (not to forget- fidget for space!) for ages to capture The snap. (oh, what? me? NO!)  This one is for the little/big photographer in all of us! 

Happy holidays people! Why so serious? Enjoy madi! 

Cheers!!!

and time to leave...

My Notice Board

Good news! I  just figured out his Jump-Break feature of blogger and thought my blog badly needs it. why?

1. I mean most of you guys will not want to spend your time reading the entire history of my snap, right? So, with jump break you can just see the Photograph and if you wanna read the story/my comment etc., you can click on- i wanna read more>>

2. It saves loading time and thus saving you guys on your download amount! I know texts hardly make a difference. But still man! something at least i am helping you save.

3. Loads faster. (was that obvious from point 2? sorry.)

So, hope you like this new feature of "Photography With Music" (only Facebook can introduce new features or what? Mark Zukker-berg or whatever berg, on your FACE!)

I Will Wait

   its the season of Christmas everywhere. So, why not feature a song that would suit this festive season? I am not suggesting this song to you guys just because it suits the theme. But, it is indeed a very soulful song. Which song, you ask?

all fall down...

Hey! Don't make puppy faces!

 

A temple you must visit!

   Do not worry about your religion. Because this temple is unique! It has NO religion. Can be visited by anyone, anywhere! All you need is some device that can read Mp3 format (which usually comes free with a mobile phone or with some fruit of which that someone has taken a bite of!) and preferably a pair of earphones and you are good to go!

Oh Yeah? I can do that too!

   Too much, no? Almost everybody i know  is writing poetry these days. So, i think i must write too! Just so that you guys dont think i cannot be a shayar! So here goes my poem dedicated to all the hot teachers. (in classes which have podiums)

"Sexy lady on the Podium,

her body glows like Radium!

when she takes the Attendance,

i experience Transcendence!

After that when she begins her Lecture,

i gape, i dream, i fall and get a Fracture!

When she asks if anyone has Doubts,

more love for her, in my heart Sprouts.

And every time she's done Talking.

i shout-But wait, i'm not done stalking! 

Finally, Sexy lady leaves the Podium,

Leaving me as volatile as Sodium!

   So, how you like it dwaag? Too cool, no? 

Cheers!

The Better Half

   Do not get carried away by the title. Its just my attempt to pun on words. The faces are only half seen right? thats why the title. Anyway, you must be recognizing that guy's face right? Yeah, he is the model faced guy who is always ready to pose for my enthusiastic experiments. This time i managed to rope in another pretty lady (my classmate) into my experiment.

   Actually the idea for this snap had been roaming around in my mind for a couple of days. And, co incidentally i am a part of a play for a competition. (don't ask what role i play. Its just that i have a lot of free time) So, i asked these two people to pose and they were more than happy to oblige. (or so i think) Tried only two shots and this was the better one! (another reason for me to name this pot the way it is named!) 

  Hope you liked it. 

Cheers! 

PS-I really love the way Nitya (oh! sorry... i totally forgot to introduce the model!) has parted her hair! Sensuous. Wha??? you dont think so? oaky... 

bike parking for Dummies- a crash course.

  

   Okay, now that the weekend is here, lets learn how to park it like bike-um (sounds like Beckham?). So, how to park it perfectly like it is done in the pic above? 

   So cool it looks... picture this, The family from the boys side have come to see the girl. The boy is sitting on the sofa. the dad asks- " kya hum ladki ko dekh sakte hain? " and the dad from the girls side says- "haan ji, zaroor. ek minut. Raaaadhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, chai laana zara..... 

   And then it turns out the girl has many sisters. all of them come out. and they tilt their heads in Shyness. that's what i picture when i see this photo. (if this were really to happen, i cannot help but feel sad for the boy. So many pretty ladies and he won't even know whom to choose!)

   Ahem.... sorry if that was vague. But, i just phased out. All because of this one blog which encourages other people to phase out. So, what were we talking about? Ah! yes. How to park your vehicle perfectly, right? Well, luckily for you, you have come to the right place. I'll tell you how to park it like that. 

   Just let it be in the showroom itself, no? Simple. you'll not need to take the trouble of parking and all... :) there will be people employed to do that. And, everyday as you walk past that showroom you can feel proud! 

Ps- in case you are interested in phasing out, contact the owner of this blog- Yes, i have a blank look on my face. So what?

Cheers!
