Musings of an Idiot

Updates

It has been a relaxing sunday - sort of - I got to doing something which is almost 5 months overdue - upload more of the pics from my trip to India. See the process is a tad hard for me as I have to short list the photos (don't want to upload a gizillion pics), which capture that location without repeating the moments. And after shortlisting I then have to change their image size and then upload them along with the description for each pic. So in short - it does take time.

I uploaded photos from the part where we were in Hyderabad - the capital of Andhra Pradesh. Most of the pics are from our trip to Golconda Fort. I was sick for most of the trip - I was down with heavy fever, so we did not go out as much as we would have liked to but it was still a memorable stop over. The photos also include the series of photos which made Lance into an 'international monument'. You can view the photos from Hyderabad HERE.

Since the winters are fast advancing - I thought I would take the opportunity to put up photos from the summer of 2006. I am sure if you read the blog regularly you would have seen the small pics - but HERE are bigger sized pics all in 1 place.

I also took the opportunity to watch a 1929 russian documentary/movie titled 'The Man with the Movie Camera' and it was an amazing experience. To me it is a true classic and it is visionary in all aspects. It is a marvel both from camera point of view as well as editing point of view. It is a must watch, if you can get your hands on the DVD.

The other movie I watched was ' Knots' - which was an ensemble comedy based in New York. It was quite funny despite some predictable themes. Most of the actors were on their mark but what did not work for the movie was the 'tv' feel - it never felt like a feature film per se but felt more like it could have been a pilot for a TV series or someting.

Now just about ready to hit the bed - time to prepare for a long week ahead.
Ciao,
Amit
