Black, White and Grey of my life!

Anyone can be a photographer.. Don't believe me? Read on..

2014-02-20T23:05:00.001-08:00

With everyone being so connected via this awesome tool- "Internet"- the world sure seems like its shrunk!!

And being an ardent fan and a regular user of this medium, I have noticed these "in your face" fads over a period of time!One such prominent trend being- Photography.

Well, what do you need to become a self proclaimed world famous photographer? Let me take you through an easy, 6 step process to get to this.

1. Buy a DSLR - Who cares which brand- you're mostly going to be using it in Auto mode. But yes, it's important you put it up on all your social media accounts to discuss which model - Nikon D7000 vs Canon EOS 7D. This will give a good heads up to people about your interest in photography & also subtly letting them know about your investment :-P

2. Now is the difficult part- You need to find poor, dirty looking children, old people. (This will sure be a difficult task). Click their close up faces- from ALL angles, listen carefully ALL angles. The more forehead wrinkles & flowing noses you click the better!

3. Once the human faces is done, find flowers and animals. Whatever you see click click click.

4. Now, concentrate on all the non living things- anything, everything. All the things around you like a door knob, chipped table leg, dog food bowl, bucket & mug, anything. Like anything. No I'm not kidding anything!

5. Process all these photos on photoshop/ picassa or even a cheap online tool. And put your watermark without fail.

6. Then create a facebook page in this format - YourNamePhotography. This one never fails. There would be over 1000000000 people with this as their page name :-)

Now, you are ready to go all out & SPAM people's timelines :-)

Love interest :-)

I can't believe it's been so long I blogged.

N there I was thinking why not start talking about my Love interest- TRAVEL :-)

Apart from a full time job at a Tech firm, I try & make some time for myself to travel. I am so excited to share with all of you that I have begun penning down all my experiences across these travels. Basically all my out of office travel diary is on its way :-)

While you wait for the new blog, Keep travelling. Much Love <3 br="">

2011-05-09T22:42:00.000-07:00

We are weirdly created...

When we know some things aren't supposed to work, we still expect.. Its insane!!

Hope that it would all be like before...Unfortunately not!!!!

Encounters...

2011-05-09T00:49:00.000-07:00

Its amazing how our daily encounters with different people can teach us so much!!

This pleasant Sunday morning after a bad bad crazy night hangover, I headed towards my pre fixed Spa session to this upmarket, urban place in Indiranagar! As usual I was embarrassed to strip in front of the masseuse. But then after so many Spa sessions, I think one gets so used to it, hardly matters...

Anyway, I am quite particular about the hygiene of my masseuse, so I met her prior. To my surprise there was this 15- 16 year looking fair, pretty girl waiting for me in the room.. I couldn't stop myself from asking her age.. She said 20! N then she began the chore and trust me she was good man she was!

She sort of opened up to me after our initial hello's and began talking ! Asking me about my life, age, etc..I usually like the silence during my spa sessions with the low music in the bg. But this time around I did not mind her talking to me. Probably because I was amused by her innocence. She was so naive!

She was from Coorg and her parents had sent her to Blore to earn money! She told me if I knew any coorgi! On affirming my acquaintanceship with Coorgi's, she popped like, don't marry them , all Coorgi boys are bad people. They cheat. N then she went on to tell her story with a guy she liked and how he molested her. Forced her to have sex.. How he lived off the mere 6k she earns..

However, what intrigued me was not just this but the things she told me post that..

She said, But now I am happy.. I am getting married in 2 months to a guy who lives in Bangalore. They are very nice people. He calls my mother regularly. The other day he got me a rose and teddy bear keychain. I am so lucky. He is rich also. He has a bike and house. His family is also very nice. They will allow me to wear Salwar Kameez.

She went on to say, What else does a girl need, a house, a loving husband who can take care of her, protect her from other bastard men like that other guy (However, the guy she is marrying is also a Coorgi). He also says until a baby I can work. and she went on....

There I was telling myself, how I complicate my life!! This girl 20 years old has no priorities and expectations!And is so happy with the little she is getting... N here I sit, greying my hair at 24 thinking of earning more, doing better at work, investing in a house, buying a car, a wine cabinet, International Holiday, new furniture, new phone, playstation!!! My list wouldn't end..

Time to uncomplicate things and enjoy those little joys of life each day!

Its a new day

2011-04-08T04:50:00.000-07:00

A lot has happened in the last 15- 20 days.. Lot actually.. And not so pleasant things!!

But, this morning when I got up I saw that silver lining ahead of the cloud. I felt stronger. I realized how I need to grab it all and pull up my socks and begin running. Maybe it's because of what happened last night, may be not..However, what I have at least understood is that I never wanted this to work out after the breakup, I was just trying to pull through because of the efforts put into it and the fact that my life revolved around this spineless freak..

About time I act and get a hold of my life.. I ain't a lonely, cry baby, weak and broken!!I'm stronger than that..

For all those people who stood by me and have given me such immense strength I can't hurt myself no more. I am surprised to see this side of me! I guess it's that that phase of self sympathy and nothing else..

I pledge to myself to put down my thoughts and move on. Be stronger with each passing day and knock everyone hurting me in their face!!

This too shall pass....

I'm ANGRY!!

2011-03-29T09:53:00.000-07:00

I'm ANGRY because you pursued me relentlessly and told me you wanted me to be your girlfriend..
I'm ANGRY because I learned things about you through others !

I'm ANGRY because you LIED to me
I'm ANGRY because I can't tell you how angry I am

I'm ANGRY because you led me to believe you wanted a life with me
I'm ANGRY because I don't know if anything you said was ever true!

I'm ANGRY because I screwed 4 years of my life!!
I'm ANGRY that I can never believe in love..
I'm ANGRY because I fell in love with you.

I'm ANGRY because I tried so hard!!
I'm ANGRY because I was never so happy..
I'm ANGRY because I can't just set things right!!

I'm ANGRY because colleagues and random strangers ask me to smile!
I'm ANGRY that I believed for so long that you loved me!

I'm ANGRY because I haven't moved on..
I'm ANGRY because I'm burning!!
I'm ANGRY because I've killed myself crying my lungs out!

I'm ANGRY because I can NEVER EVER have an honest conversation with you!
I'm ANGRY because everything around me reminds me of you..
I'm ANGRY that I DON'T know you..

I'm ANGRY I TRUSTED YOU!!

I'm ANGRY I LOVED YOU LIKE I DID..

Why are break ups always so hard??

2011-03-27T23:44:00.000-07:00

Its been a terribly shaky week.. Last one!!
Just a little bit of things gone wrong or a wee bit of people gone wrong (for me)..
You can't even remotely imagine the amount of clutter that there is in my head swimming and refusing to go..Its rotting my brain and every other part that thinks logically..

Dear Diary, I've been wanting to blurt all out to you so that I can have someone to share everything with!!But alas, this clutter is stuck and looks like it'll take me quite some time to get everything out!!

Afterall, its a breakup!!For gods sake, it can't be easy!! Sure not, if u put in every ounce into something for 4 years, Just for the other person to run through it !! Not when all you knew was that one person! Not when every action was to make it work.. Not when you still care for that person's well being! Not when ur on the receiving end!! Sure not when u get something u dont deserve..

I'm upset!!Yes I am.. But the fact is I have to move on.. I have to grow stronger..

and you thought you were Irreplaceable?

2011-03-25T04:45:00.000-07:00

To the left

Mmmm to the left, to the left
Everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet, that's my stuff
Yes, if I bought it, don't touch

And keep talking that mess, that’s fine
Could you walk and talk, at the same time?
And it's my name thats on that jag
So go move your bags, let me call you a cab

Standing in the front yard, telling me
How I'm such a fool, talking 'bout
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted

You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter fact, he'll be here in a minute

You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'
You're irreplaceable?

So go ahead and get gone

Call up that chick, and see if shes home

Oops I bet you thought, that I didn't know
What did you think
I was putting you out for?
Because you was untrue
Rolling her around in the car that I bought you
Drop the keys
Hurry up, before your taxi leaves

Standing in the front yard, telling me
How I'm such a fool, talking 'bout
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted

You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute

You must not know 'bout me
I will have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'
You're irreplaceable (irreplaceable)?

So since I'm not your everything (irreplaceable)
How about I'll be nothing Nothing at all to you
I won't shed a tear for you

I won't shed a tear for you
I won't lose a wink of sleep

a wink of sleep
'Cause the truth of the matter is
Replacing you is so easy

To the left, to the left.
Mmmmm
To the left, to the left.
Everything you own in the box to the left

To the left, to the left.

You can pack all your bags we're finished

you must not know 'bout me
'Cause you made your bed now lay in it

you must not know 'bout me
I could have another you by tomorrow
Don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'
You're irreplaceable?

Let go

2011-03-23T01:59:00.000-07:00

I want to let go.....This life and its people!!

This is more complicated than I thought!

Goa Madness

2011-03-22T01:44:00.000-07:00

Well, most of you who know me know my craze and association with that place.. How much I love being in Goa and spend my time exploring , lazing , shopping and just chilling there..

Two weeks back when I was there I realized I know quite a lot of places and this knowledge might just help my fellow travelers who're visiting Goa for the first time and those who have been there a couple of times but limited to Baga and Calagute..

So, my attempt to pass on most of what I know.. http://goa-musing.blogspot.com/

Do visit this and write how you feel about the posts..

Lotsa Love!!

Break the damn Prison!!!!

2011-02-09T02:49:00.000-08:00

I've started to notice recently how Micheal Scofield, Lincoln Burrows, Aleaxander Mahome have become a part of my daily life!

I've never really been the one to watch TV that much but I'm guessing I'm growing younger and crazier by the day..

Prison Break has currently become a part of my life, staple food for survival! I've been watching one episode after the other. Sleepless nights, couch potato state on weekends.. Man, life couldn't be more fun :-)

Letting Go.....

2010-12-02T23:07:00.000-08:00

This blog has become the shoulder I can cry on ...!

Well I wonder how difficult can it be to let go something you thought made your world? It can't be impossible for sure! I mean deaths happen n people still move on.. This is just a fallout afterall.. How difficult can it get!

When the universe has twisted for you! When you feel blind and scared to move ahead! When it seems like you're in a huge ground all alone with nothing/ noone for miles! When you have crazy dreams! When you have sleepless nights! When you stop wanting to go out! When everything you do seems wrong! When......
But, I'm sure it can't be impossible to fight all this!

Its so difficult for the feeling to sink in!! I can't believe what happened did happen! I wish it dint! But then I know it happened for good..

I am so lost..I wonder where did the Real me leave the current me in this journey of life... I feel I'm someone else! Where's all that arrogance, attitude, anger, dynamism, strength gone.. I wonder.. Where is that me?

I behaved like a puppet at someone else's hand.. But again, i'm to be blamed.. How could I let myself go.. How could I become what I repent to be..

I wonder what went through me to get into this and change the way I thought.. But who am I to blame.. In fact why do I even bother about the blame. Its over now and I have a new life ahead. SHouldn't I be excited to look forward to it..

I did crib that I need time and space for myself..Now that I have all of it 24 hours in a day and 2000 sqft place alone, why am I scared?? Is it human to behave like this or is it me!

Man, so many questions unanswered......

2010-08-24T11:41:00.000-07:00

Maybe I didn't treat you

Quite as good as I should have

Maybe I didn't love you

Quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

Give me, give me one more chance

To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe I didn't hold you

All those lonely, lonely times

And I guess I never told you

I'm so happy that you're mine

If I make you feel second best

Boy, I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

Give me, give me one more chance

To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

You were always on my mind.

New Job New Beginnings

2010-05-31T23:28:00.000-07:00

Well I know its been long!!! So much has been missed in between!

I will try and catch that up while I update on my current status...I have joined CNN International in their Sales department, Bombay.

Its been over a month now and I received my first pay cheque yesterday:-)

The last month has been pretty good. Lot of learning & fun!! I have the best colleagues one could ask for! N I say this knowing they're unaware of my blog:-)

End of an era (ALMOST)

2010-04-04T19:55:00.000-07:00

Hey All,

Yes, this is to talk about the past two years I spent at this hill- top and its all coming to an end in a week, for good ofcourse!!
So much learning, so much anger, frustration, love, attachment. Man, its a mixed bag of feelings.Will pen all of it in my future post..

Ceeya till then all!

2010-02-19T07:20:00.001-08:00

Super Pissed!!!!

2010-02-10T01:09:00.000-08:00

This post is at the expense of sounding stupid! But ya, the truth remains- Life is a bitch n teaches u all that u wouldn't otherwise have learnt!!!!

I'm in this super pissed state of mind right now!!!!!!
There's nothing positive happening around me for quite sometime now, this place is getting to me, the people are!! I'm not able to attain a sense of mental peace! I wonder why?

There's so much in my head, its NOT funny...I sure am not the kind to get into depression but ya I'm irritated all the time for no reason! Least I expect is people close to me (Yes m talking to u!!!) to understand me n not push me to a level where I'd wanna just cut off with u..

My only solace is my sudden interest to blog again...Ahh, its indeed an amazing tool I must say.

P.S: Watch out for my new blog on all the travel stories, musts, do's & dont's, pictures,etc!!

Bangalore Musing!

2010-02-09T20:31:00.000-08:00

Well, I've been hopping cities for a bit now.. Studied in one, worked in another, interned elsewhere and doing my masters in yet another.. Its been truly a journey especially so since I love travelling and meeting new people!

But there's been this one place I can't seem to get over! Its like there's a connection between us, a cosmic connetion- yes m talking abt Bangalore!!
N this is true to every Bangalorean I must say! Kris(a friend) once said, " The minute you land on the land of Bangalore from elsewhere, it gives u a warmth and welcoming feeling, a feeling of home!". There's just something about Bangalore that makes people sick here forever.

Like other cities, Bangalore is busy, chaotic, noisy, trafficky but unlike them its got a human touch!!I can talk to Bangalore! Bangalore runs this rush of adrenalin within you..
N for a party animal like me, its a perfect blend of work hard, party harder city with numerous options to choose from...

I know I know...Ur gonna tell me- 11:30 everything shuts so whats the point of options...

U know that sure is a bitch for every party animal in Bangalore also but these are things controlled by the authorities not many of us have a say in it. But the point to be noted here is, Bangloreans instead of ribbing, party harder (maybe start a lil earlier than other cities) but what the heck, how does it matter as long as we spend quality time even sitting at a cheap place like Pecos listening to ColdPlay/ Greenday instead of Himesh Reshammiya in an elite club of any other city till 3;-)

For all those who haven't been to Bangalore or don't know much, there are a variety of hangout places the city has to offer , following being some of them:

Java City

13th Floor

Pecos

Mojos

Stone

1947

Beach

Kosmos

Fuga

Tavern

Cosmo Village

Nasa

Taika

Styx

Bull and Bush

Firangi Pani

F Bar

Athena

TGIF

Ruby Tuesday

Sutra

Purple Haze

Fusion

Hypnos

Stone

Blue Bar

Opus

Zero G

Mocha, etc.

P.S: This post was part of a HTML in class exercise but nevertheless, it just left me missing Bangalore like never before!

"NET" Deep

2009-12-27T10:19:00.000-08:00

In todays competitive world, its funny to see how things are shaping up..How we are competing to even keep in touch with old firiends, collegues, new friends and even people we don't know...

Ur so "LS" if ur not on all the social networking sites these days.. OMG, ur not on Facebook? Dude how do u survive? I can't sleep without my dose of Facebook! These are typical comments you are to face if ur not on the popular social netwoking site, facebook.

Also, the latest trend is twitter! Often I hear ppl asking others to follow them, n I'm sure the person following also doesn't give jack shit to the followee..Its a simple way of increasing the head count.. This competitive world !!!!!I wonder where it is headed to? There are hardly few who are on online space actively.

For that matter, even blogging began as a rage but there are hardly few who continued their passion. N the others dint have that fire to continue including me. we can hardly call ourselves bloggers. We're rather what u say, "Seasonal Bloggers". But we all love to be a part of the YO generation, n why shouldn't we be?

So well, here is my list of Online media sites I'm a part of:

Facebook
Blogspot
Linkedin
Orkut
Twitter
Hi5
Slideshare
Scribd and so many..........

N then we complain we don't ahve enough time????????

We are Neck deep with Internet or should I say NET DEEP!!!!!!!

2009-03-28T13:39:00.000-07:00

2009-03-28T13:35:00.000-07:00

Its been quite a while here!!!
Quite is an understatement actually;-)
But well, like always, bad times and hence m back on my blog!But partly the blame is that of my institute's also!

2009-01-23T07:57:00.000-08:00

I believe I can FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome fun during my visit to Surpur(Remote village in Gulbarga ditrict of Karnataka) from my NGO;-)

2008-12-11T20:29:00.000-08:00

Engineer-> PR professional wannabe -> analysing FILMS?????U must be kidding me!!!!!!

2008-10-04T22:57:00.000-07:00

Done with first 2 exams of my MBA career......
Obviously after last late nite, I crashed as soon as I came to my room.... N ever since I’ve gotten up, this feeling about this something is bothering me....
Well, with the end of this semester I will have no AS classes :-(
They were primarily the reason why I attended college and had 100% attendance :-)
Neither will I have screenings!!!!!!

Well for all ma friends who do not know who AS is!!A lil backgrounder, He happens to be our GOD and RELIGION here :-)
Atleast most of ours....

He shouts at us, he is mean to us, he never lets us wear what we want to (I’m 22 yrs old and I know wat to wear!!), he calls us leeches and parasites sucking our parents blood, he does mass addressing on few people’s fault, he never let me take my assignment while I was unwell and back home L, he is too harsh on us!! BUT, that’s besides the point, he is this person, who never does anything without a reason!!He knows his stuff in and out..

Folks, one can only imagine how much of movies and their intricacies would a Software Engineer know!! N after I came here, believe me, I know all that he’s taught so well that I’m not kidding I feel like shifting to Audio Visual Production!!

He shouts at us cause we behave like animals more often than not.
He doesn’t let us wear what we want because he realised these 20+ yr “MBA graduates” do NOT have the sense of decent dressing and well I would refrain from getting into the details..
We are indeed leeches and parasites because very few here have realised the value of our parents and the amount of time , money and energy they’ve spent on us, irrespective of their status and affordability capability!!
He addresses all of us on one person’s mistake because most of our notorious acts are when we are in big number. Rightly said, most of us have developed Mob Mentality!!
N he did not let me do my assignments because there is a system that he and I and everyone here is a part of and the least we can do is RESPECT it by following it..
He is too harsh on us because he sees those Spoilt kids in most of our eyes!! But, offlate he has become so relaxed with us.

My first semester has been a bag of mixed feelings, ......FROM dislike towards certain issues in hostel, food, transport, availability, disappointment by many a faculty, from times I wondered what am I doing here after Engineering and successful and viable career options infront of me.....
TO those very thoughts of attending a AV lecture and trying to analyse different aspects of film making, to watching the old classics, to cribbing about the assignments overload to .......!!

Things are so weird now, each time I watch a movie, by default I end up seeing the lights, camera movement, scenes, sound and video coordination, etc. N now I know Filmmaking is not all about glamour and every tom, dick and harry's cup of tea but its so much hardwork and intelligent vision inclusive!!

I’m definitely going to miss not having the AV lectures, not getting to listen to those world class ripping sessions in the class!!I’m really gonna miss watching movies with 120 others in college!! And more importantly miss AS!!
:-)
:-(

Adios Batch C4:-)

2008-10-01T14:51:00.000-07:00

First Semester gets over!!
Happy:-) and sad:-(
Happy cuz m done with semester of hard work( Literally hard cuz i have completed close to 30 assignments successfully!) N sad, cuz m gonna miss a couple of people who will not be in my class nomore cuz we will be segregated according to our specializations..
But I’d dedicate this blog to those other 13 people from my batch I spent my last 3 months with very closely...
Well, we were divided into batches A, B, C, D when we joined SIMC and then further subdivided into 4 sub groups and I was allocated group C4.Frankly, back then it hardly made very little difference cause I knew no one. But, a week later, I began having issues because I personally thought the group was a mix of “Lallus” and the “I am the Boss” crowd. I was trying to fit in!! But, trust me you, this group is the best to have happened to me in 3 months here. Its like ur at home when its just the 14 of us..An absolutely crazy group, fights and has issues but at the end of it all is so bonded and open!!
I shall take the privilege of introducing the people to you:
Namrata Parekh aka DoubtFire: Hahahahahahaha, this woman made me pull my hair and hit my head on the walls when I first met her!! We, were given a radio assignment(GROUP) and madame happens to be an RJ(Big Ppl) and hence tried to have her say and suppress everyone else (though Nishant and Varun dint let her, hhehehehehehe). But, thats beside the point, she came across as this gal who wants to make her presence felt and I couldn’t quite stand her (Sorry for this:-)). This impression actually continued for a while. But, she turned out to be sweet and nice (Thanx to my “I don’t judge people" attitude). She is basically this overgrown kid who thinks she knows all and has to be heard!! Never lets ne1 sleep in the class cuz of her questions. There was always some or the other person she pissed, without realising!! But, of what I have known her, she is absolutely harmless and will help you whenever you need someone!!She has a dysfunctional funny bone and NAMRATA, u better treat C4 for bearing all those jokes of urs and then for EVEN laughing to make u feel good:-)
She is a sweetheart and my MAMMA PUP!!Miss gujju, I will miss u and all those love and hate sessions v’ve had :-)

Sneha Padiyath aka the Hardworker: Hmmm, Hardcore Journo!!She was the only gal in the group I knew and liked initially. One thing I admire her for his her FOCUS and dedication. She is fun and bubbly and oozing with excitement all the time. She has to know everything and makes sure she does. But, I can’t not mention her 70’s Hairbands I almost fell in love with, ROTFL(Pls don’t kill me for this)..When u try to sleep in the class and look ahead if the teacher is looking at u, all u can see is Sneha’s Hairband:-), though she looks very cute in them..
Category: Workoholic. She ensures all her assignments are done well. Sneha, I remember made this presentation in MRM class on “Women in Journalism” and quoting her “It was like she was spraying Sleeping Gas........... With each slide, one head down” was hilarious!! But trust me if I was awake I’d have loved the presentation..
She is one of the people I’m gonna genuinely miss not having in the class :-)
She is this friend I love teasing and pulling her leg..A fun person to hang out with and she has all the garam garam NEWS all the time. Way to go journo!!!!N m sorry if I hurt u in ne of those leg pulling attempts :-)
Faisal aka Dawood: This man was the ENTERTAINMENT package of C4 and people bid for him but couldn’t take him away from our batch. A typical Faisal, nevr let any of us complete the assignments because he HAD to have that world class chai after the class got over and hence refused to wait for one extra minute. His accent, for which he was acknowledged by Ananya Sir, got onto the batches nerve. But, the best part about him is, he never makes an attempt to be someone else! N thats what I admire him for. He took all our jokes in the right spirit and was a sport. He has been a sweetheart to all of us, though a lil irritating at times, he is FuN nevertheless. He can get you into trouble (BizComm Group Presentation ) and be your saviour (Biz Comm Individual presentation where I used his accent to hide my inability to talk clearly because of ulcers on my toungeJ). Faijal as I call him, is the best entertainer I have ever come across:-) I will definitely miss Faijal and his Saudi class questions:-) (As against the world class questions ppl in my class ask)
Faijal papa u rock :-)
Nishant Roy Bombarde oops Shah: His name was never spelt correctly (even now isn’t)Father Of Photoshop as we termed him!! This dude’s like a 4 year who goes to nursery and has already been taught alphabets and numbers at home..He knows most of the softwares, photography, electronic media, I wonder what he’s doing here then:-) But,a sweet guy with the KILLER combo of being a GUJJU brought up in TAMIL NADU;-)
Very focussed and all he talks about is Advertising, Advertising, Advertising and more of it..Milinda mam’s pet..Comes across as a sweet, harmless, I do my work guy. N ya, not to forget, Nishant sang “Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star” in the radio class and later he was diagonised with temperature!!:-).This one’s the typical TENSION PARTY..
The Shahrukh Khan “Baazigar” hairstyle, lean and tall with hair covering most of his face! Teetotaller, I wonder what he is doing in life. Sweet guy to hang out with. When it comes to work he is all for it and very focussed and believes in giving 100%.
Varun Ravindran aka the Sheep:-): Varun is this cute thing of our group who sings for us and dances and does the SHEEP DANCE exclusively for C4:-) He is the typical film guy and is interested in all the practicals that happen. The energy and encouragement dose for the group. He is an absolute sweetheart and tries to keep all happy. Extremely funny.
Megha Bhat aka the khakro ni ghagro: I call her Khakra Ghagra..Quiet, sweet, soft spoken and the typical “Guys mum will like” gal. She is Ok with everything and doesn’t get involved in any of the group arguments. An aspiring filmmaker..:-)Gujju gal and extremely emotional.. Peaceful and knows her stuff right!!
Niharika Kalra: KARLA..The one woman always tries to boss around(Karla, this is after common consensus and not an individual opinion :-))!!Not like any of us let her do it :-) She is the fun element of the group!! Always out with something or the other. Her confrontations with Faijal are more interesting than Cricket World Cup finals between India and Pakistan :-)
This confused soul is here for Journalsim and after comig here, her inner light is switched on and she wants to do Audio Visual Production now:-) Her new found love for camera, mics & electronic equipment are her reasons to be there. Extremely expressive, loud and on ur face. Miss Karla is of the category, Love me or Hate me, U can’t ignore me!! Punjabi from Sindh and Pune and Andamans and Vizag and Bombay and....
She is FUN and GAME for nething netime. She has some guts man!!
Neha Kejriwal: Chojen?? Nehhhh, She’s my PUP!! Cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is the only word i can use to describe her. She is like a kid who when gets angry sits away from the group and stops talking to all of us and when no one notices, she comes back and tells us all “People I am angry with all of u all”. She is our Model for photography, video, radio, the volunteer for everything..She a sport and gets angry at the drop of a pin and is as easily convinced. My Pup is the sweetest thing around:-) Muaaaaaaaaaaah
Shweta Bathija aka the WHITEYYYYY!!: BATHIJA!!!!!My new found best friend :-) She is the best guest one can ever have :-) She is fun. She is unfortunately suffering from severe lack of Melanin:-) and hence is extraordinarily fair! She is this person who can never shout at anyone or be rude to anyone(I learnt this recently)! She is very good with her work. Creative and constructive, always has ideas and suggestions for the team :-) The deadly combination of a Punjabi Kudi from Tamil Nadu :-) Shweta is a sweetheart , muaaaaaaaah..
Mehul aka Khaman Dhokla:-): Meuuuuuuuuuuuuuul. The gujju boy and the PET of the whole group. He hardly talks but when he does master pieces like the “ROOBARUU” song he sang in radio class are created!!He is extremely soft spoken and even when he is angry, he can’t show it on his face....He was teaching us Garba in the studio:-)
Tripti Modi aka the innocent face but not so inncocent deeds :-): Quiet, soft spoken, cute, timid, sweet, etc is what people think she is!!BUT, people you have been deceived by that innocent face, this lady is LOUD, Rebellious, Naughty and wants to have fun all the time! She has the weirdest of ideas which if I reveal no one on the face of earth will believe is true! She is one of the few people I’m close to here. An absolutely adorable thing, she’s my pup’s pup and hence we are family so that extra love!!Trips, love u, muaaaaaaaaaaaah :-)
Ahimsa: Duh, thats her name I'm not making it up!!!!That was my expression when I first heard her name!!!But, as the LEGENDARY Shakespeare said, "Whats in a name", she is a living example of mismatch...She is not Ahimsik in ne of her acts:-)
But, Ahimsa is sweet and this tiny thing trying to put across her point till she is heard!!This Bihar ki chori has a strong will and is here to make her Laloo proud of her!!:-) Hard core journo, always ready with questions and doubts!! All in all sweet to be
Sridutt aka the DEDICATED techie boy, wannabe Filmamker:-): He knows what he is here for!!One of my closest friends here. I absolutely adore him for being so patient and focussed.. He is the best company one can have and I’m really gonna miss not having him around all the time :-). He is extremely good at his stuff and never makes fake promises. He is someone I look upto for the clarity of thought he has. Sri, looking forward to a rocking Footprints.. N thanks for helping me out all those times u did :-) Rockstar!!
