My daddy's proud of me

Since i have nothing much to crib about, I thought I’ll brag about some of my recent achievements. I sent this to my dad the other day and he was so proud, he sent it to the whole worldJ So here i am, doing my bit to show off.

This is an article i submitted on the weekend markets in London (remember i had posted pics in a previous post) and the article appeared in a magazine called INBOX 1305- a Chennai based lifestyle mag. It came in the June issue of the mag.




This article is quite old, but I’m really really really proud of this one. It came in the Travel Plus Magazine and i also got my profile on it.

It really sucks to look at my article in a pdf or jpeg formatLI am yet to see the hard copy.




This one was actually by fluke. But isn’t it trippy? Thats Ro at the Bike and Kite festival in Blackheath. When i was taking the pic, i actually told him, ‘ I cant see anything Rosh’ and so he’s named the pic..cant see anything Rosh.

I was a very bad photography student during my Mass Comm days. When everyone was running around getting their project together I used be the one who used to pose for the pics and not bother to take any. As usual, last minute panic hit and then i had to beg for pics from everyone (also i fell sick and had to return home). We had certain subjects to be photographed and i remember texting all my classmates, ‘does anyone have an extra child to give me?’ I did manage some pics and guess what....I was the first one to submit the projectJ

Some nerve huh...borrowing from everyone and 1st one to submit, on time that too. I didn’t get high marks or anything, but not a bad one either.

I boast about my photography skills to Ro and he brings up this story every time

    I am so proud of you too. Sent your stuff to my mum as well :O)

    As for Dads...hmmm...it was his suggestion that I join the NCC in college - we HAD to join SOMETHING for credits. And so when I sent him pics of me in uniform, doing adventure activities, handling guns or flying a glider plane - he proudly told the whole world and showed em the pics too! Then when I went to SA and met some of his colleagues, one of them said to me with a very solemn face, "You were very brave to fight in the war." What war??? Never laughed so much in my life. Great story to tell my kids :D
