Engaged :) (Unofficially!!)

Date: March 28, 2009 Categories: Personal Comments: 5 Comments Share:

After 5 years of dating and wooing and falling in love over and over, Shilpa and I decided it was finally time to, in a manner of speaking, have our cake and eat it too Just like when we started dating, it was she who finally popped the question that mattered and I would be a fool to say No!. Its not very often in life that such good deals [...]

Pritham handled lights for ‘Woyzeck’, the play I helped with last weekend. He did a fantastic job of it as you can see from some of the pictures. Woyzeck, as a play, depends a LOT on the sound and lights to create various effects that are needed for it. Some of the brilliantly lit scenes that I managed to catch included the green [...]

Over last weekend, I helped out backstage with the TFA / Rafiki collaborative production, ‘Woyzeck’ directed by Anmol Vellani. It is there that I saw first hand how much preparation and work goes into putting up a theatre production! Its much much harder than a simple band going on stage and playing a show! Anish and Aashish are [...]

Rangashankara has become like a Oasis in the desert of Bangalore for theatre lovers and infact I am sure it has enabled a lot of people to take up theatre professionally! What I like about Rangashankara apart from the brilliant facilities that it provides for theatre companies and the lovely space that it is, is the discipline it has inculcated [...]

Shilpa and I celebrated 5 years together this month and this was taken on our anniversary! Infact, I wanted to see if we could do some home made studio style lighting with emergency lamps and co-incidentally, there was a massive power cut that evening!

Ivan Germon (Pronounced EeVon Jermoine) is a graffiti writer (painter?) from France who I happened to meet at Bobby’s place when I was in Mumbai. He is travelling around India trying to write graffiti (or stick pre-written graffiti as the case may be) on walls here in different cities and has infact, done quite a bit of work on the walls [...]

Shilpa and I went to Opus for the Sunday O-Show to check out some stuff and they had a potter there who was teaching people how to make clay pots and also letting them take stuff that was made. Shilpa decided to give it a shot but unfortunately it did not end up looking like she wanted it to!

So after waiting for the right time to come along and waiting to see if I can get some “assignments” hooked up to do something, I have decided its time to [...]

Trick Photography!

This particular photo was inspired by my good friend Anup who is a brilliant photographer among other things! This is a standard trick where you begin zoom in while the shutter is half depressed and zoom in completely before the shot is made. Sometimes when the light is nice, the results are just brilliant!

Indigo Children (formerly, Superfuzz) are the band to watch among the newer bands in the Indian music scene. They are tight as hell and are dynamites waiting to explode on stage! A very energetic act with very little talk on stage, they actually go fully mental when they play on stage! This picture was taken at the end of their show at Blue [...]
