Did I abandon my blog?

The answer is no I havnt yet.

Then why am I not updating it?

Well there are a couple of reasons :

My focus has lately changed from writing to here so I am lately blogging here more regularly.

This blog was a place for me to vent, write about things that make happy, excited, sad ( yeha basically rant abt all the thoughts that pass my mind) and some things which I wanted to share with the blogworld. I realised that over the course of time ppl whose blog I used to visit have stopped blogging and I really dint make any new blogger friends. (Common all u find these days are 16 yrs old ranting about their teen problem.)

And most importantly I have realised that I think and crib about the problems and instead of feeling better I end up feeling all the more crappier.

That said I think I will find more words to put in here, in the mean time hope in here and check out whats keeping me hooked.

Lots in the past week

This past week was pretty hectic for me. I had to shave of Mandy's hair. Yup its sort of a summer cut for her, plus her super sensitive skin has started acting up. Initially I used to worry a lot and get worked up feeling guilty that I am not doing my best in looking after her needs. But after meeting a couple of vetenerians (including a animal dermatologist) both me and Mandy have started to accept it and deal with it in our ways. We went to see the doc and is on medication and regular baths now.

So thursday we were both locked up in the bathroom trimming her beautiful fur. Now except for her hear, tail and legs all that is left in the other parts a small stubble:P She kinda looks cool to me, more thinner and yeah one more advantage is that I am spared from one of twice a year hair shedding. :P We have mutually decided that we can make this a twice a year affair (in oct and Mar-april) when Mumbai is at its hottest. Will post her photos soon.

I also did some good amount of cleaning at home: I managed to tackle the fridge, TV, my dining table which is used to dump all possibile things since its most conviniently placed next to the main entrance:) I also semi arranged my cupboard and realised that its time I discard the clothes that have become too big for me (*taking a bow* I have managed to loose a few pounds in the last year *super big grin*) But there is always this fear of bouncing back to good old days which prevents me from discarding them.

Photo Blogs

My latest addiction is to go through photo blogs, blogs that belongto photographers esp in the US. There is a lot of scope for photographers in the US.Maybe its because Americans are (mostly) crazy abt presentations. Everything has to larger than life and I guess they all want to look a little like a super models in the marriages and otehr occasions.



Whatever it is, its pretty much helps me to go through these blogs as I am inspired to take better pictures (atleast I feel so that they are better). I am especially crazy for pet photographers and portrait/family photogrpahers. Wedding photography in US is a different ball game compared to India.
BTW I have a new blog exclusively for showcasing my photography skills. And these I am pretty much into photography so theres lotsof stuff there Go check ito ut! Mumbai Photographer. I guess the name is apta as I am a true mumbaite in spirit. Now that definetly doesnt mean that this is baby will be neglected totally.

Update*: I just realised after publishing this post that I have posted Mandy's pictures back to back in the last 3 posts. Hey what the hell she is my all time fav model so go figure.

Wordless Wednesday -Mandy's Side Profile

I thought this might be something good to start with after the long break in blogging.

Its Friday!

This is a usual sight on weekend afternoons - Mandy all carefree and chilled out. I read somewhere that dogs will only sleep in this position when they are feeling the most secure.

This weekend I will be doing my first wedding photography. Typical indain christian wedding of a collegue's. He was cool enough to have me take some photographs. Yay! I know I am not doing as much justice as I should towards photography, even with the SLR in hand but 2009 started off with lots of things on my plate which I am still not sure how should I go about addressing them. One good thing is that I am not freaking out, infact I am pretty much calmer than usual when I face them.

And now 2009

Blogging has taken a back seat and I am not really happy with it. To be frank life is boring, pretty much the usual.. work, home, food, sleep etc. I find nothing exciting enough to pen down (in this case type down). Or may be the charm of blogging has worn off. Its been 4 yrs of blogging. Besides all my fellow bloggers have moved to other stuff as well and there is not much of blog hopping for me either. So does this mean that I am planning to wrap up the blogging business?

Well not at all. Its been boring to write and hear people voice out their opinion about what written but this is something I still enjoy every bit.

Happy New Year folks ! Its a new year with new resolutions and what are they?
(Not many, just a few which I seriously hope to stick out at least half way through 2009)
Healthy Lifestyle : includes healthy eating, moderate exercise and lots of stress free days.
Clean credit card: Yup I want to clear all my credit card debts...That mean save save save!
Add this to #1 I also want to start going to the gym (sometime around 2009) and work out!


That's it for now.
