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

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="">

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...

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

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!!

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??

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?

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

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

This is more complicated than I thought!

Goa Madness

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!!!!

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.....

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......

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

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)

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!

Super Pissed!!!!

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!

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:

1. Java City


2. 13th Floor


3. Nyx


4. Pecos


5. Mojos


6. Stone


7. 1947


8. Beach


9. Kosmos


10. Fuga


11. Tavern


12. Cosmo Village


13. Nasa


14. Taika


15. Styx


16. Bull and Bush


17. Firangi Pani


18. F Bar


19. Athena


20. TGIF


21. Ruby Tuesday


22. Sutra


23. Purple Haze


24. Fusion


25. Hypnos


26. Stone


27. Blue Bar


28. Opus


29. Zero G


30. 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

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:

1. Facebook
2. Blogspot
3. Linkedin
4. Orkut
5. Twitter
6. Hi5
7. Slideshare
8. 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!!!!!!!
