fireball past midnight

I have a habit of taking a walk on my terrace at night before i go to bed. so at 12.15 AM 28th January 2009, I was walking on the terrace when I saw a bright fireball in the sky! It was HUGE! bigger than the 5 I had seen on 14th December 2007 as a part of the Geminid meteor showers!
It was greenish blue with a little bit of red, and lit up the terrace twice as much as a full moon would!
Today the day started off with not a very positive note, but as it went by, it was quite nice... and at the end of it, I was pretty okay. I clicked a pic of Vivek in office holding his 'A Portrait of Ray' LP cover in front of his face... I am hoping it will come out well... leseee ...
Thats the thing with film... I have to wait till I finish the roll. If I'm using digital, I can click 36 pictures in the space of 2 hrs, but if i'm using a roll, lord knows I take days to finish it!

I was just browsing through my notebook today afternoon. And I found my 'Love thing.'
My 'Love thing' is a little piece of black paper with a heart shaped cutout for bokeh shapes through camera lenses. This term 'Love thing' - was coined by my flickr contact Sneha (beatnikbug) when she saw me making this shape for another flickr contact Vinod, during e P@P exphibition on the 27th of Dec '08. She said - 'Whats that...? oh... it's your "love thing"'

'Yes,' I said ...'Its my "Love thing... '
