Photography - My long lost passion....

Yes that is true. Since childhood, I was interested in photography, but due to the 'huge' competition in academics et al , I was not able to pursue it. As I stand in crossroads wherein I can go for it and make peace with it, it seems to me that it is not only me who is pursuing photography as his 'passion'. My friends often comment 'These days every fool is carrying around a SLR, and thinks he is a photographer'. I say what is wrong in that? People often who comment like this are either don't know what they are talking about (you know what I mean!) or they are extremely sensitive to photography and cannot bear the sight of others trying to learn this science.

Photos often speak a lot and sometimes they often speak only to the photographer! It happens so often that I take a picture and just look and admire it for sometime, but the same picture fails to make an impression on other. But at the end of the day it is you who has to worry about sleeping at peace! Now the next challenge it to buy a good camera and I am starting to love the challenge as it not only hurts your mind but also your pocket (big time man!). Often you need to give an argument for the question "Hey why do you need pay 50k for just a camera?". Well it is difficult to explain while all my life I have been slogging to get a camera and when I have the time and money to buy one I am still giving it a thought.

Well I have decided no matter what , I am going to buy a good camera. Hopefully next time I'll put some 'good quality' pictures. Till then stay tuned!

Here I am....

Procrastination is the word.....Well friends after thinking for about 4 years finally I jump into the blogging world. I don't know that what took me so long to do this, but that is what it is all about.
As the name of my blog (for those who do not understand Hindi the word ulta-dimag means the opposite brain or the contrary thinker!)
May be all this while I was wondering when people write their blogs, what do they think? Do they write what is on their mind or they just write it for just the sake of writing it. I am here since I want to put a whatever junk is inside my mind on to the web. Bottom-line is I am running short of "disk space" in my brain.. May be if I write something, I'll be able to think some more since RAM and storage are merged in God's hardware. 
When I started thinking what to write, I became like one overloaded website with a lot of anonymous users as thoughts trying to access and gain control of what I am going to write. I am still clueless to be frank! A lot of things are there in one's little world that stir up one's brain. For me it ranges from anguish, embarrassment and much more which will make me think 'how to make things right' and then goes my thought like a never ending flowchart. And finally the winner will be the thought which has procrastination as its major weapon...
So today I thought and said to myself, come on you loser, get a life and do something 'important', free your mind. So here I am freeing my mind. I hope I'll write something sensible next time and a little more thoughtful. Till then...let me boot up!
