Saturday started late (Surprise indeed) :) Reached IIMB at only 13:00, though right on time for lunch with the Blogger’s collective. Followed by a corridor talk with Amogh, Thej, Hrish, Balaji, Cipson etc on photography. Amogh’s pictures and his MacBook are an inspiration :)
Just as we thought we had converted our discussion into the Photo collective, […]

I barely started the new blogspace. So I dont intend to strew spite on it already.

Re-reading a book on Che. Revolution after revolution, struggle after struggle - And all of this year after year. How much can one man do ! I can’t help but wonder how Cuba & LatAm would have been like today, had he been alive.

Was trying a friend’s camera on the bus on the way back from work today. This was at the Marathahalli signal.  Not a perfect photo technically,but I liked the story that the scene tells. Talk about contrast in Indian society! :(
