Storm clouds over Mumbai

Storm clouds over Mumbai, originally uploaded by acharekar.

Yesterday, in the evening it became stormy. Clouds gathered in the sky in a very short span of time. I took few snaps of the sky then. And they came out pretty good. Quasi edited couple of them. The result is the above, it is very very close to what we saw from the window in terms of lighting and colours etc.

Tablet strip, Guitar and Raju ...

     Title sounds crazy, isn't it ? Well, the video is crazier. Raju (Rajendra Vellury aka Chota Father) is the craziest of all guitarists I have met. Once I gifted him T-shirt with "Remember my name, you will be screaming it later" written on it.  :-)

     Around a couple of years ago, my routine was pretty interesting. All day I used to be at work, learning great stuff everyday and at night friends used to gather at our house at matunga, where Quasi and i were staying. Of those, Raju and Chavri were permanent members. :-) One evening, we were just sitting and discussing something, when Raju picked up the guitar and a tablet strip and started playing. Fortunately, I had the camera besides me and I started recording him playing. It turned out great, no doubt about it. When I told Raju that i am uploading this video on youtube , he laughed and said "I will record something good for you". It took a couple of years for it, to make it to youtube though.

     While he was playing, pirate made his presence felt. Pirate was a stray dog, whom we used to feed sometimes. Raju named him Pirate, probably because he could see only with one eye. Pirate was the guardian of that area, specially at nights.  Probably the only dog, whom i might have fed. Felt good after remembering him. Well, one more reason to like Raju's video. :-)

Good Morning..

 

 
     After a long time up at 6.00 am., after couple of years may be. Feels good about it. Hope it continues this way.

Facebook fun.. ?

     This is a very good example of how four people sitting in a room, given an unusual medium of communication, go to a peak of their creativity, to bring crap out of them.

     We were sitting chatting, were supposed to be studying btw.  So Raju thought of putting one of his creative quotes on facebook and ... it all started. Then we went on commenting on it. We started thinking too much, to put some weird comments. Subject of the discussion was lost in the initial 4-5 comments itself. And it kept changing at an average of 3 comments/subject and with no good pattern it kept repeating. We went crazy. Started doubting, if we really are crazy, since then. Quasi, Nipra and Raju were putting highly creative, geeky comments. I kept rotating the subject of the conversation and kept fuelling. It was fun. We expected no one will have the patience to go through all of it, but I was wrong, at least couple of guys did that and they liked it, amazing :-p. It was a shear waste of time, but we enjoyed it.

     Thanks to Quasi for all the hard work, in taking the screen shot of the conversation.
     Ohh yes, if at all you are going through the comments, please don't think that we have disrespected anyone here. Its is just a coincidence, if you find similar persons or situations in real life.
