Rishabh

this is rishabh, my two and a half year old brother.

hey it's not my fault that when inspiration strikes, there's nothing better to shoot around.

Reflections

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. And no, not only about which of the 20 or so chapters of economics I will be reading next. No, I've been spending a lot of time poring through photography blog archives. There's nirrimi (just a little older than me! :O ), the photodiarist, and a variety of other insanely talented photographers I've found at shoot for your life. 

And i think it's what i want to do for the rest of my life.

Also, this is my first edited photo! I used to take the easy (and lazy) way out and pride myself on having not edited any of my photos, but I now think it's something I should familiarize myself with. I know what tone is! I guess all those watercolours art classes I took as a kid have been of some use.

Oh, and I use a canon powershot S5 IS (pictured above) with the 6-72 mm lens it comes with. But I will be getting a dslr, most probably a canon eos rebel T2i, as an after boards gift. Can't wait!  :D

The photo is a reflection on the glass door of a mostly empty book shelf. The vague red and gold things are trophies and plaques from a really long time back. I stopped being 'Most Amicable Personality' after the third grade. 

smile!

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

-Jason Mraz, I'm yours.

music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel

music has made such a significant impact on my life this year. through the western music practices and competitions in school, i have met some amazing people and had such a wonderful time. it really sucks that i'll be passing out and won't get to see you all everyday. thank you guys, for being so awesome.

Twilight

Spookay

I absolutely hate sleeping during the day. When I wake up I feel all woozy and bleh. It was during one such spazed out state that I was walking downstairs when I noticed this tree growing into a lamp. (yes, I'm trying to make it a habit to carry around my camera now)
Looks creepy cool, no?

Dilli Haat

I always find something or the other of interest in Dilli Haat. The place is always so colourful and pretty.I had gone more than a month back with my mother and Charita- my neighbour, classmate and friend. While my mother was busy looking at saris and shawls, we roamed around, discussed the clothes people were wearing, drank fruit beer and ate golgappas. The golgappas were part of a special Rajasthani food stall. Yum!

Gonna Soak Up The Sun

One of my favorite lazy day past times is to lie on my balcony floor in the sun with a book or my ipod or my camera.

yes, the grill is very misshapen, i know.
