Attempt at Photography #2
Posted by Uma Damle | Filed under Photography, School Life
I know I repeated that disappearance act of mine again but well… can’t help it. Plus the computer was itching to be formatted so it was out of action for a while now.
Prash lent me his copy of H2G2 wrapped in what appears to be an ordinary polythene bag day before yesterday and tearfully told me take good care of it. Considering his repeated instructions of returning the book to the polythene bag once I’ve finished reading it I am beginning to suspect that it might not be polythene after all but some material that’s fire, water, weather and coffee stains proof. Too bad my mom parceled it off with the morning garbage before I could investigate further.And yeah I am in love with Marvin already.
Another batch of pictures from my side. Feel free to go through the EXIF data. Currently I am just playing around with colors and the macro mode as you can see in the pictures.
Since I am through with most of my major entrances, these days I am on an extended vacation. But being in accord with my theory that one only wants to do whatever they want to do when they can’t do whatever they want to do (Ah pearls of wisdom…should have gone to the flotsam) I am really getting tired of it all.I am dying to learn something new which means learning something that I haven’t started learning and left halfway already.
That’s all for now I guess. Wonder if my mounting pile of half written drafts would ever see the light of the day.

<afterthought> This is a not-so-old memory from DynamiX 2007.For reasons best known to him, Prashanth made two pointless posts on the making of the event and none on the event itself. Although public interest is short lived and it’s too late to narrate the entire event now, there is one incident from day 2 which is too priceless to be forgotten.
Day 2 was a blur. I had absolutely no idea what was happening in the rest of the symposium cause I was engaged throughout the day for CodeX, Quiz and Crossword.
We began with CodeX (Whose questionnaire, I humbly add, was made by me) which was in form of a *.pps file with each clue in form of visuals that had to be connected to something in technology. Now, one particular visual was in form of a picture of Pamela Anderson with the question as “What would you call the space between the ahem…assets of the woman shown in the picture” <Tries and fails to keep a straight face>. Now we had somehow managed to make sure that no teacher entered the lab while the event was in progress ’cause as expected most of the sexually frustrated participants were giving a lot of attention to that particular clue. Although I was slightly on the edge out of fear of being caught, we were all perfectly relaxed otherwise… UNTIL Principal ma’am herself walked into the lab WITH a battalion of foreign visitors in tow.
Boy was I terrified. Of all the events she could have visited she had to pick this one. She has a knack for sniffing out trouble, I’d say. We went to each team and pleaded them not to bust us (pun totally intended 
) by opening the slide while the Principal was prowling about. My name was there in the slide show as the paper maker. If the Principal had had any intentions of showing the visitors a copy of the questionnaire I would have been screwed big time. Fortunately she was in a hurry and did nothing apart from asking me to brief the visitors about the symposium, although I swear my heart leaped out of my mouth when she summoned me across the room to do that.
The answer to that question was Silicon Valley, by the way…

It was a prototype of the suit lining of the future warriors that that US Dept. of Defense was preparing…
Anyway, take good care of the book. I really treasure that a lot, and I hope you have understood why by now…
