foTograohy..phOtograPhy.... fotuuuugraafieeee

What was meant to be an electronic device to capture and preserve some moments... has become a passion.... i bought this cam s5 IS in Nov 08, specially for South Korea trip.. since then a lot of things have changed... my abmition of becoming a computer engineer has changed to become a war fotoGrafer... whoohaaaa...
INsane... thats wat 'd idea seems at the onset... nevertheless.. fotografy has become a way of life.. i look around and imagine wat if i freeze every one around me in frames... how wud they look...lemme juss show u some pics here and wat it means.... welll the first one... shot a few clicks at the gwangju railway station... it was freezing cold... and this mom caught my attention... it made me feel nostalgic abt my childhood.. perhaps every parent has done this to there kid...

nie ways thats just the trailer... to bring statistics in to play I may have shot close to 4ooo pics before i finally sold this beautiful camera after 4 months of usage... reason of selling was evidently the desire to carry a bigger and better DSLR.. i pan to get it in few months... I have my eyes on EOS 40D (~1100 USD)+ EF 50mm f1.4 prime lens(~300 USD).. later I wish to buy 24-105 mm f4L lens(~1050 USD).. these three pieces of glass+metal+plastic costs a whopping 100K INR..

...if dats the price u have to pay for ur obsession... i m more then willing tooo....

hindi chiththa

maine shayad kabhi ye socha na tha ki main apni maatrabhasa main kuch likhne ka prayas karoonga... agar mujhe apne in vichaaron ko shaaayad kalam aur kaagaz pe sachmuch hindi main likhna pade to shayad ye mere liye aasaan na ho...
mujhe ab bhi wo din yaad hain jab angreezi main bolne ke liye pehle humen hindi main soch ke use angrezi main anuwaadan karna padta tha... lekin ab stithi ek dum vipreet hai... hindi main likne ke liye angrezi se hindi main anuwaadan karna padta hai...

aaj saayenkaal main mai aur mera mitra bahsa ke silsily main vaarta karne lage...poori vaarta apni bhasha ko lekar thi... lekin gaurtalab baat ye hai ki usmain bhi angrezi shabdo ka prayaog koot koot kar hua tha...aakhiri baar jab hindi likhne ki aawashakta shaayad mujhe daswi ki aakhiri imtehaan (udru??)// pareekhsha main padi thi.. tab bhi shaayd hindi main mere ank bahut chintajanak nahi the..
humaare pyaare mitra tiwaari ji ka paasport(hindi??) jab aaya to humen ek patra likhne ko kaha gaya jismain hume is baat ko sweekaar karna tha ki tiwaari ji ka chaal chalan sahi hai aur kisi bhi nyayalaye main unpe koi aarop darz nahi hai.. isi baat ko hindi main vyakt karne main kaafi kathinaayoun ka saamna karna pada...
to hum sabhi jaante hain ki hindi humaari maatrabhasha hai... lekin kya ye sirf kahne bhar ke liye hai? hum aaj kal ilahabad main hai hai.. jo hindi bhaashiyo ka garh maanaa jaata hai... pehle din ek chowkidaar ne humaare friends [angreezi ka jaanboojhkar istemaal] ko sahpaathi kah kar bulaya to humen kaafi aashchariya hua... sahpaadthi...??? ek baar ke liye to maatha thanka ki aakhir ye sajjan kya kehna chaahte hain... lekin daswi ki pustaken padhe itne din ho gaye ki ab sahpaathi pehle dost bane aur fir friends...is bhaag main ab bhi hindi ka prayog bade paimaane pe hota hai...
dilli ki hindi aur yehaan ki hindi main dharti aur aasmaan ka farq hai... shaayad yehaan ki hindi asli hindi ke zyaada kareeb hai..


to vaad vivaad ka kaaran bhasha ko le kar tha... mera priye mitra jo ki maraathi hai... maraathi bhaaasha ka bharpoor prayog karta hai... wo internet[??] pe bhi apni bhasha main padhta hai... aur apni bhaasha main likhi gayi pustaken bhi padhta hai... aur mujh se jab usne poocha ki hindi main is peedhi ke lekhakon ke visay main mujhe kitni jaankaari hai... to main asmanjas main tha...jaise taise maine kaha ... they dont affect my life... so i dont care abot them... pata nahi ye tarq kis had tak sahi hai...

aisa nahi hai ki hindi ke visay main mera gyaan bahut zyaada hai.. aur is ke kaaran bhi hai... hindi ka gyaan ya to daswi tak kuch kavitaayen,jeevniya aur kahaaniya padhne ke kaam aaya.. ya fir kabhi kabhar hindi akhbaaron pe nazar ferne ... jahaan jao hindi ke saath angreezi main kuch na kuch likha milta hai... aur hindi likhne ki aawashakta paathshaala ke baahar bahut kam hi padi... aaaj kal agar shudh hindi ka prayog aap karen to aap apne aap pe vyang karne ke liye doosro ko aamantrit karenge...ise aap ek sachhhayi samjhe yaa badalte hue bhaarat ka hindi prem!!!
