Did you know you can use Gmail to…

…send emails :)

Just joking.

I am a great fan of Gmail. No, I think, fan would be an understatement. I think I am in love with it.

Did you know, you can use Gmail to do a lot more than just send and receive emails?

Here are some very interesting and useful uses of Gmail that even the most intelligent planners at Google would not have foreseen… something like people in Punjab and Haryana using Washing Machine to make Lassi

1. Use Gmail to to backup your files

All you have to do is save a draft email with your file as an attachment.

 

I finally got hold of GTA IV

 

My latest game GTA IV

I finally grabbed my copy of Grand Theft Auto IV aka GTA IV, the highest rated game for PS3.

Surprisingly, I got this game at Indore despite the fact that my friends say that it is not available at Delhi. Cool, Indore is developing pretty fast.

About the game…

This game is awesome. The character, the city, the cars, the guns, the babes… I think I will be very busy for the next few days :)

 

A great day for me today.

It was a great day for my hobby today. I bought myself another lens. This time it is a macro lens (Nikkon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G) meant for closeup and portrait photography. Yes, the photo above was shot with it.

Sometimes I wonder whether is it worth it to spend so much on your hobby. And then my wife (the beautiful Madhulika) says… it is better than you gambling or boozing. At least the money spent is keeping you busy in a constructive way. It is not always money that you earn… sometimes you earn something more than that… sometimes you earn “RESPECT”.

 

6 reasons why you must participate in photo competitions

I see a very common trend among amateur photographers.

We love to look at photos submitted in competitions, we even share it in our emails with our friends and family but when it comes to participating in it, are not able to muster the confidence and time to do so Sad

It breaks my heart to see so few photographers, specially from India (and Indore) participating in competitions, despite the fact that it is free and usually, all you have to do is just shortlist a photo from your collection and upload it here…

 

The secret of photography that the pros do not disclose…

Hi Folks,

I have been thinking about something for quite sometime now and I wanted to share it with you all.

I think, the art of photography requires one skill that the pros have and most of the amateurs do not have…

The art of deciding which photos to NEVER show to anybody.

The pros are just like us. They have their good days and bad days and yes, they too shoot all kinds of photos, some with bad composition, some with bad light and so on.
But they know that to show to the world and what not to show to anybody.
