My flickr friend Aky Cookie took my interview for his blog recently. It was a funny session, and I think the outcome is quite so.
I was very earnest about it. have a quick read here
In other news, i'm still processing and uploading my snaps from Ahmedabad and Baroda. Also, P@P invited me to give a smilar presentation as the one I gave at Bangalore recently. I think I'm getting better at public speaking! Its on 4th December, and if you are in Pune then, do drop by at the New Art Gallery, Apte road at 2 PM. I realise its siesta time for everyone, but I have some hope of seeing a decent audience.
I accidentally attended a book launch at Landmark Pune this friday. I wanted to spent some time exploring the graphic novel section there yet again, but unfortunately that section was blocked off by chairs arranged for the event with people already having occupied them. So I had to wait for the authors and editor to officially launch the book, read a bit from it and interact with the audience. Not that I minded. I had some time to kill. The book is an anthology of short stories written by urban authors, both young and old.
I wan't too impressed by whatever i heard being read out, but got so intrigued, that I bought the book. I could have read it then and there, but it wasn't too expensive, you see. And I was hoping there would be something in there that i'd like. Indian fiction has disappointed me till now.
Maybe I'm just prejudiced...

Unexpected gifts

Unexpected gifts are truly worth cherishing. Dr Vivek M from Bangalore, sent me five rolls of 120 film. I've never felt happier! I'm going to enjoy taking every photo from my old medium format cameras now!
