Happy Birthday Midhun

What's so special about June 30th ?

There is nothing, absolutely nothing.

What was special about June 30th ?

Lot's. I remember my heart thumping with excitement when i was a kid ...when i woke up, all pepped up about the 'colour dress' that we would be able to wear at school. About the chocolates that we would be buying. About the party that our parents would be throwing for my freinds at our house. About the gifts that we would be getting. About the mouth watering birthday cake. About the photos that my dad would click with aesthetic precision. We once lost a bicycle to a lucky thief who found the key right on it. And this happened on June 29nd night. We woke up the next day to find the bicycle gone. Its mostly parents who remember birthdays and of course girfriends of yours till they get married and fade into oblivion surfacing at times with their picture perfect smiles in Orkut. Thats until you are married. Once you get married, rest assured your spouse would take care of the entire show. And so, i've received this lovely gift all wrapped up nicely with a ribbon today from my wife. Its a nice looking shirt and a pair of trousers-khaki. Would have to get the trousers altered. I will be wearing the shirt today to office as its a saturday.

After it rained

It was raining like crazy and i was held up at home not knowing how to while away time. Took this snap from my balcony on the first floor. The green leaves looked so refreshing after the rains amidst the browns. It aint raining no more. But this being a month end , the last thing on my mind is taking snaps. Its just numbers , numbers and numbers all the way. The uncertainty and chaos at month end adds to the kick for any sales guy.

Digital Imaging

I processed this image with whatever info i had on the web and a lot of trial and error. I'm not too happy with the results. But kinda satisfied considering the fact that this is my first attempt. I'm simply awed by the kind of post processing work that a lot of guys do with their images out there.  flickr is a constant source of inspiration.

I used to be crazy about graphic designing 5 years back. Used to make my own wallpapers which many of my freinds wanted for their PCs without any kind of self promotion from my side. When my team mates were busy analysing stuff in the case study , i would be neck deep in making custom templates in photoshop for our teams presentation . That was my only effective contribution to my team during my MBA days.   

Sunday at Trivandrum

Got up at 6:30 am for my driving class.  No . I dont know how to drive. No ! not a two wheeler but my new car. Its an Alto. Why Alto ? 1) Coz i cant afford anything bigger and better and 2)Coz  a small car is better initially. Who wants to ram a sedan on Trivandrum roads ? Duh !

The climate looks terrible both outdoors and indoors. My wifey aint feeling well and it looks like its going to rain cats and dogs and what not. No plans for the day. There is this  concert in the evening by a French singer. Yes ! you got me right...... in Trivandrum.  Food...hmmm.....as no prior notices have been given to relatives and friends, lunch is at Home.

Just the beginning

I aint no megalomaniac. just a normal dude who was pushed to blogger by his friend(Jyothis) in my case. And so........here i am. This photo of mine was taken with my canon powershot S3IS-(the only camera have) by my wife(the only one i have).
