The Comeback Kid.

After a LOT of contemplation, hesitation, and procrastination ~ I have decided to restart the blog. 
In Third year of my dental school now, clinics have started and there's so much to blog about!

 If you are expecting rants about Dental school, professors, Awesome friends, backstabbers :P, stories about Mumbai Local travel, *food*, photography, views on every other damn thing happening around, and occasional philosophical sermon posts, random lists - 
This is the right place. 

And I'm not a fan of long posts so mostly they'd be short. Depends. 
But I promise to be regular as far as possible. :D

That's that from the comeback kid! 
AND a big thanks to all my friends who kept saying you should start writing again. 
*throws chocolates*

Oh and this funny image:

When you're pissed at someone and can't say anything about it.

You know you are a photographer when. . .

A post dedicated to all the Shutterbugs .

:)

From personal experience plus observation.

You know you are a photographer when,

You see everything as a photograph even before it's taken.

You have stopped in the middle of a conversation to go get your cam cos something suddenly popped into your mind,

it was a photographic moment.

You get jealous when someone has more megapixel/zoom than you.

You are very particular about every picture, it has to be Perfect.

You've got thousands of photographs but rarely appear in any of them. 

1 GB of memory lasts most people a month, but barely an afternoon for you.

You hear, "Wow, your Cam takes really nice photos" -

And you smile, but grit your teeth.

People ask you whether you've really taken the snap, very irritating. :P :)

A trip would take twice the normal time, because you constantly stop to take photos or go back.

You delete more photos in a week than most people make all year.

You’ve crawled on the ground to get a shot of something rusty or tiny.

*Your camera equipment is worth more than your car.

*You need just one more lens.

( *This is from all those awesome pro-photographers :) )

You love shooting, hate editing . (At times)

Your family doesn’t recognize you without a camera covering your face. :P

You cant deny it. Having 3-inch LCD is an amazing thing if your camera has it.

You've gotten into a debate about who has better cameras, Canon or Nikon.

And finally,

You’ve been up before dawn or out in the freezing cold or even done something semi-dangerous…

All for a photograph. :)

I really believe there are things no one would see, if I didn't photograph them ~ Diane Arbus .

Come out and Play !

CWG.

Did you just smirk, or laugh?

“God knows what’s gonna happen?”,

“It has become a joke! Games Village. Literally. Ha-ha!”

Facebook status updates have been filled with such sarcastic criticisms.

I was pretty much of the same opinion.

The politicians have made a joke out of the whole event .

6.7 billion dollars, most expensive Commonwealth Games if I’m right.

One wonders where all the money went.

Oh, we all know where it went, don’t we?

The world, again, found a reason to point its finger at our hygiene conditions, poor infrastructure, security fiasco and failure to meet deadlines.

They carried out sting operations, many of the best performers backed out.

Expected, isn’t it?

Now let’s stop all the media hammered negative thinking, and think on your own.

What is the Commonwealth Games about?

Is it about how awesome the stadium is, how good the bridges are and how many million dollars were spent?

Yes, the conditions are supposed to be up to the mark and, our politicians will never get better.

But is that the main motive behind organising CWG?

 A sporting competition bringing together the members of the British Empire was first proposed by the Reverend Astley Cooper in 1891 when he wrote an article in The Times suggesting a "Pan-Britannic-Pan-Anglican Contest and Festival every four years as a means of increasing the goodwill and good understanding of the British Empire".

It’s about the Games!

How many of us know the Indians representing the events?

Sushil Kumar (Wrestling) , Tejaswini Sawant (Shooting), Tarundeep Rai and Rahul Banerjee(Archery), M.C.Mary Kom(Boxing). these all are Gold medal winners.

Arjun Atwal, Saina Nehwal. . . Need I name more?

 And many Indian athletes are at top of their form than ever before.

We have some real good performers to bank upon.

And we, the people of India instead of supporting them, are criticizing the whole event.

These are the people that deserve attention.NOT the dismal performers, namely the committee headed by Mr.Kalmadi who bought a sham to the event.

We just blog and talk about the shoddy work by the politicians.

How about being a bit enthusiastic for the sports people who are representing our country out there?

Let’s rest the whole fracas and cheer for our country.

That’s what we Indians are best at.

Hope and believe even in the direst of conditions, that the things will be just right.

And they will. :)
