A slight fuck up on my part as this domain name expired left visitors to this site looking at ads for penis enlargement etc (“Yaay! Improvement!” you say) Anyway, trying to fix the problem ended up with me having to pay both my hosting provider and my domain registrar for the domain coz one of them was being a difficult douchebag. I’m not bitter or anything but lets just say Santa is gonna be taking a dump this Christmas in the stockings of a certain person from a company “India Internets” (I know, what an original name, right?)
Moral of the story: Always buy your domain and your hosting from the same company. It shall save you money and yelling into the phone while you pull out your hair.
Anyway, normal programming resumes now. If you were one of the people who would rather look at penis enlargement ads click here. If you are reading this and thinking “Wait. What? You were gone for a while?” Eff you too.
I’ve been listening to a whole lot of music from Norwegian duo, Kings of Convenience and off their second album Riot on an Empty Street, this is my favourite single repeat song, The Build Up, featuring Canadian singer Feist.
(Alright, I’m giving up on trying to fix the grammar and punctuation in the previous sentence. It can’t be done. Besides, in a world where the dictionary now has the word unfriend in it and people who write for a living don’t know the difference between the words your and you’re I think I spend waaay too much time obsessing about grammar and punctuation, so much that spelling mistakes throw me off when I’m reading ahem… erotica (I know, I know, waaaaaaaay too much information and for the nerds among us… a parentheses inside a parentheses but what can I say…. proper grammar is sexy!))
Ola! The first post in a longish time. I’ve been caught up with life (turning down the third employee position I’ve ever been offered, looking for freelance work, traveling to the sea, the hills, the desert) partly busy off my ass with work (which is a new phenomenon this year) and partly A.D.D. (which is par for the course for me) as evidenced by the fact that sometimes I forget that I’m reading a book in my bedroom and launch into another one in the loo.(But I digress) So here goes..
A few weeks back an extremely kind soul (who shall henceforth be referred to as ‘M’) lent me a Nikon D200 and I’ve been going nuts with it. Last month I took some photos on a shoot at a huge cotton mill in Himachal Pradesh for a film I directed for the Ministry of Textiles and more recently I went to the Pushkar fair for the first time ever and shot a ton more pictures. The sights and the people were (and I can’t say this forcefully enough) stunningly beautiful and I would have taken even more photographs but I made the huge eff up of not taking the charger for the camera. (sorry M!)
So, for your consideration, here are the links to ‘teh Flickr’. Pushkar FairandCotton Mills at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. My Flickr account is soon going to go over 200 pictures so nowadays I’m greeted by a not-so-subtle UPGRADE TO FLICKR PRO banner upon login. So, gift me a Flickr Pro account please (and while I’m panhandling how about an EOS 5D Mark II and a few fast primes?)
Some people have said the pictures were ahem, ‘brilliant’ but I’m undecided about whether they were being extremely polite or just wanted to get into my pants. (I mean, like who wouldn’t?)
