Perfect Saturday
Two weeks ago, I finally got a free Saturday to do something that I had been dying to since the day I moved into Bombay, roam around with my camera. I walked around Bandra photographing dogs (they're so damn photogenic) and then later took a train to my favorite place in Bombay, Marine Drive. It's a great challenge photographing the true spirit of this place. But I was too exhausted to take up the challenge that day and decided to just sit and watch the splashing waves.
I love my camera.

To Sketch or Not To Sketch
"My talent for drawing is limited to stick figures"
I’ve seen this as a reason for skipping the sketching process lately and I am here to say that, if this applies to you, you may want to rethink this. The process is not intended for you to create a detailed sketch like Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man every time you put pencil to paper. In fact, if you ever get the chance to view some of da Vinci’s other sketches, you will see they are dominated by endless explorations. That is what the process will help you do. Explore ideas, layouts and shapes before committing to any one motif. Don’t worry if you are not knocking yourself dead with your drawing skills. This is not a drawing contest. The sketches are for you only. Nothing more. Nothing less. So, whether you have taken art and anatomy classes or you can barely draw a perfect ellipse, it simply doesn’t matter. The goal is the exploration, not the journey.

Still In Underland
I watched Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland today. In 3D. And surprisingly the BIG cinemas at Kalyaninagar managed to show it in much better colors than Avatar.
I really liked the movie. It's Burton's version (which might make people like my sister re-think a watch), and briliant story-teller that he is, he pulls it off. It's not a patch on Vincent or The Corpse Bride, but finally watching a Tim Burton on the big screen does give you a high.
Being a designer my first thought when I see a movie is about the way it looks. And this looked beautiful, with it's frightening Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatters' mad make-up.
Anne Hathaway's floofy White Queen act looks like it's a spoof on all of Disney's Princesses, which I'm sure all you Disney-haters out there can't wait to see. Johnny Depp is el perfecto as usual and Alan Rickman's voice as the caterpillar made The Ratfinkle and me squeal like little girls. Mia Wasikowska's golden tangle kept reminding me of Blake Lively, but with much better acting skills.
As far as 3D movies go, I would pick Alice in Wonderland almost everytime over a movie like Avatar (I'm not trying to be different and cool, the story in the latter was dragged so much I actually fell asleep in the middle). Forget the Alice in Wonderland you read as a kid, and I guarantee that you will enjoy Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter (as the posters read).

My Perfect Day
Is like you say,
To talk and dream
Of places far away
My perfect day
Is like you say,
To turn up the volume
And just sway
My perfect day
Is like you say,
To stand in the balcony
And stare away
My perfect day,
Is everyday I'm with you.

Whatever happened?
I wanted to be a photographer till like a month ago.
What happened?
I wanted to do that as my project.
Why was I so scared to take it up?
What is wrong with all of us?
Why can't we make one good decision.

Happiness
What do you do when you hate your job?
When you wasted that last chance you had to do something that you love?
How do you rectify your mistakes?
How do you try and be happy through all of this?
Because in the end, isn't that what life is about? Happiness.
