One of the things about festive occassions is the increased interaction with your relatives. And when you are a single guy, the one topic that's on everyones mind is, Marriage!
Know they all mean well, and they would want me to be happily settled with a nice girl and all..
But I can't really do this marriage thing just for the sake of it. Just because I am 28 and it will be difficult to find girls afterwards!
I would rather marry when I find someone with whom I share something meaningful and beautiful. Someone I would want to spend a lot of time with. Someone with whom I have a lot in common and who shares my thoughts and interests.
Love should be effortless. You just look at her and you just know. It's something just very natural. I don't know why people want to define it, philosophise it, romanticise it or even demean it.
People ask me what is my criteria, what is that am looking for in a girl. Frankly speaking, I don't know. People are not a sum total of their hobbies and appearances. So on what do I define any criteria at all. I don't have any criteria for the girl I want to be with. When you love someone, you are in love about everything that they are, every small tiny little thing. Any predefined criteria about how someone should be goes for a complete toss. And so I don't keep any expectations of how she should be.
Thankfully Dad and Mom are not in a hurry. They just want me to be with the one I would want to be. And like all things in this world, that will happen when it has too. In its own sweet time.

On Photography
Got myself a new DSLR recently, Nikon D5000. That one decision has set me on the road to learning photography and mastering my camera. And its turning out to be quite an awesome journey.
It's the same for all things, when you attempt to learn something new, you go through a journey.
From the exciting beginnings, to the confusion and desperation, to the sudden insights and then the feeling of content, only to realize that there's so much more that you didn't know and that there's so much more that could make a lot of difference. This journey never ends.
I look at those pros, and think, damn when will I ever be able to take snaps like them. But I know I have something in me. I know that when I read these articles and rules on how to take good snaps and realize that I already knew these things intuitively. Nobody had told me these things and yet I knew. It feels really great when you see that what you always knew, is mentioned down as a rule for other people to learn.
I take my camera along everywhere I can. Every week I learn something new. I think at this point in time I know most of the things. And its more practice that's going to lead me higher.
No, I don't just want to take pictures for fun. I want to take pictures that will blow your mind away. Make you say "Wow!"
Am not there yet, but that's the journey am on.
