Coming January I will be heading to Noida for my internship. I'm definitely looking forward to working at CSC, although I'm a bit bummed about leaving a lot of things behind.
So what does this mean? That I won't be able to devote a lot of my time to dA (just like right now). I will be needing someone to take over ~indians while I'm gone, perhaps revamp it, and give it a new direction. The place has been a bit dead for too long now. So if anyone is interested, send me a word at bangbangdie (at) gmail (dot) com.

Well, so this is goodbye, for now. Maybe I'll make my next update when my balls are freezing in the icy winters of Noida. Ta!

Its been a while since my last journal post, my apologies. I never knew college work could be so consuming. I have been so consumed by my real life that I barely do get any time to do any art or even visit deviantART very often :\

Anyway, I won't be around for too long, I think. I have my Industrial training coming up in January. I will be going to some IT company for a period of four to six months and in that time I will be probably undertaking a technical project of some kind. If I am lucky, I will mostly be in Bombay, else I will either be heading off to Gurgaon/Noida, Bangalore (or shall I say Bengaluru?), Hyderabad or Pune. Getting out of here wouldn't be such a bad thing. I just hope I have some good company.

Soooo, if anyone knows anyone or someone in a nice IT company, please get in touch with me


Oh, and a very happy Diwali to everyone

And how! What a brilliant movie! I didn't expect it to be this good. In fact, I didn't expect it to be good at all! But Superman Returns is awesome. Really, it is. I wasn't a big fan of the old Superman movies but this movie has made me a big, big fan. Besides, isn't it a great feeling to see your favorite superhero in action (I mean come on, all of us have wanted to be Superman atleast a few times in our lives).

It felt really great to watch it first day, first show (1000 hours at INOX). When people clap, whistle and cheer for a movie, it has got to be something special. And special it was.

This movie has a lot of soul. Bryan Singer has gone a brilliant job and has given excellent treatment to this movie. He did a good thing ditching X3 for Superman Returns.

Having said that, I urge you all to go watch it. NOW!

Well that's it for now. I just had to share my excitement with you guys

My computer is dead and I'm on my laptop, so I'm just going to copy paste my entry from my blog.

The birthday was a blast. I didn't expect it to be so much fun. I guess some things are better that way. And it doesn't feel all that bad really. Two decades is a long time and damn, I feel good about it. Thanks to all for the birthday wishes

Went to lonavala with family in the morning. It was an unusually sunny day, with the rains playing a bit of hide and seek (and winning in the end) and playing the spoilsport. Anyway the drive was fun, and spending time there with family was totally worth it. I wasn't too disappointed about the rains, because a friend did message and tell me it rained where she was. So all wasn't lost, after all.

Took friends out dinner in the evening. Was a sort of last-minute thing as I hadn't really planned on celebrating the birthday but decided to go ahead with it. It felt really great to finally catch up with friends, reminisce the old times and enjoy some good food. It did get a bit chaotic somewhere in the middle, but it was all good .

Oh, and I got a lot of spiffy stuff as gifts.

My school friends gifted me a really trippy plasma lamp. It looks brilliant in the dark. You can see it here: [link]

My college friends gifted me a copy of Hellboy: Seed of Destruction. Very, very awesome in my opinion. You can see it here: [link]

Apart from that, one of my other friends gifted me a copy of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years Of Solitude. My folks gave me some much needed dough and my bro bought me a spankin' new Nokia 3220.


It was probably one of the best birthdays I've had in a long time and a perfect way to kick start the new decade. I feel rather lucky to have a great family and a great bunch of friends. I'm definitely doing to remember this birthday for a long, long time.



And something to think about: Bombay is the rudest city in the world: Survey
