A serious lesson I learned recently is that you should always get a few photos printed from a professional lab from time to time.

The level of learning that you get just by looking at the prints will be of a totally different kind.

This might sound very stupid at the first glance, but as I learned recently, there is a world of difference between looking at your photos on your computer monitor and holding the print and sharing it with friends and family.

The things you learn are on multiple levels.

Tip #7 of 101: Tips to take photos of newborn babies

Ever since I was blessed with a baby boy three months ago, baby photos have become an obsession.

Here are some photos of my beautiful son (who is now 3 months old) and lessons that I learned in the process of capturing them…

1. Shoot Low

Bend down and try to have the camera at the eye level of the baby. That way, you can see the baby from the level from which he sees the world

Let us attack Pakistan and kill everybody there…
I guess that is what most of us think as a solution for the recent attack on Mumbai (and India).

But before that, let us do one more thing.

Almost all the blasts in the recent past (whether done by LeT, Indian Mujahadeen or Abhinav Bharat) has had connections from Indore (my city). So let us first attack Indore and kill everybody there.

I hope you get my point.

Going to war with Pakistan or attacking the terror bases is NOT the solution.

Hi Folks,

As you would have observed, I have been absent from everywhere during the past few weeks.

Actually I became a very proud (and now a very tired ) father on 4th Nov 2008. Coincidentally, 4th Nov is also our anniversary

Now that my wife and my business partner is absent from office, it has put a lot of additional load on me at office, and at home, me and my wife are trying to adjust to the new life with this cuteness incarnate that requires 24×7 attention.
Although we are having fun, it is a very exhausting time for all of us.
All this has gnawed away all the time for my online social life.
