now they attack the German Bakery!

lost!

every now and then things go missing, right now it is the phone charger. It has absented itself for the last 24 hours or so. i checked everywhere from kitchen cupboards to the freezer. It wasnt in the bathroom or behind the TV. I go paranoid when this happens. How can something just disappear!

...btw it had been borrowed by someone from my room :).. but now my formal belt has gone missing! (updated)

gear

it is late in the night, and i dont have anything specific to say. but i feel like.. you know. saying something.

I get these moods .. should try it..

put off the lights, helps if the room is fairly dark. laptop on d lap and ur eyes adjust to the brightness of the screen so everything else is dark. Have some nice music.. i would suggest dark side or fidelity or porcelain or some nice budha bar trance.

and then lose yourself in the music

then dream that you are sitting in some huuuuge black dark open space. no wires, no power nothing near by. just you.

and then the gear up in the head starts rolling. thoughts roll. it is a nice feeling

try it

some shit

You should watch this movie.. up in the air. yeah the clooney one. and you would realize that most of things in it are real. i mean, they could be your life or mine. It is a frank statement of what a lot of our lives are like.

The things we do are mostly for the weirdest reasons, reasons that are born of a momentary thought, a random occurance, a freak chance of weather, traffic, infatuation.. things that don't matter to any one else, reasons that in most likelihood cease to remain relevant a week later even to us.

And as much as i hate to admit it, things that remain are the things our parents told us to care about, you know. yeah.

yeah.. real senti

and i was saying..

I was reading an article somewhere in which a dude was driving a lexus somewhere in the US. At one point his accelerator pedal gets stuck to the floor and he couldn’t stop the car. What would most people do? .. well i think try stopping the car by some means would be the ideal solution right? But what does the genius do.. he calls 911! I mean.. how stupid can people get, to call 911 to tell that my breaks are stuck goes down as one of the stupidest things if you ask me.

Anyways,

Talking about stupidity, I brought a camera some time back.. yeah the DSLR. Then I wasn’t shooting anything, I thought it would be nice to have a tripod. You know those sharp close ups of people and objects need that extra stability of a tripod. So I got a tripod (ok I did not buy it but a sweetheart gifted it.).. Then still I wasn’t clincking anything apart from pigeons from my apartment window.

So then I thought you know I really need a longer lens. If I could get to focus on that face without literally stepping on the persons feet it would be so nice! I needed it! It was necessary! So.. there went 17K and I had a heavier and longer lens.

I still wasn’t shooting. Damn. Now this is really a problem. A ugly problem. So I did some study, deep root cause analysis.

Oh yeah and I found the solution. I needed to get to the place where I could shoot- and how? I needed transportation. And a bike was just the solution. So being always the persons to find a solution, I got the Bike. A Pulsar.

Still no photos.

But I have now found the real problem. A real simple one, my laptop is too old to process the photos I take. Photoshop stutters and the granddaddy wheezes with the load of 10Mb pictures on its old back. I need a new laptop.

See, I have always been good at problem solving. A new lappie and I will give Iqbal mohd a run for his money

And did I mention the fake nike bag to carry the camera, filters, oh and the mp3 player for music when I go shooting, yeah they are all necessary. The photos will come
