I am in love with




I am in love with ...no not the woman in the picture but with the fact that i am actually doing the edits myself . I am learning Final Cut pro and its easier than avid. I can do more than rough edit now with dissolves and other effects. I was experimenting with a lot of things in final cut like picture movement and other things. I actually have to submit a 7 min piece on Mae west ( yeah ..its her pic ) . I have till now shyed away from editing, i was thinking may be i wont be able to do it but now i am feeling confident about it. Need to practice more though...

Today shona was saying that CNN has joined hands with IBN..thats like great news...i wonder how the other channels might be reacting to this news...have the newspapers covered it....Lot of stuff happening in India...CNN is the only channel which can be compared to channels in india. Its the only channel that to an extent is not biased like the other channels. the local channels here are impossible...they are something like our very own TV channel of " amma " .....

what is life




what is life all about...? Is it just about crossing hurdles...? everytime you cross an hurdle or finish solving a major problem in life, something bigger comes up. Are we all taking part in a " hurdles race " which has no finish. Everytime we cross one , the other one comes up. There is no time even to pause for a second. Is this what life is all about...?

Based on a true life story

Arz kiya hai...

ho gaye hain "ji" tumpe khatarnaak tarike se fida

hona chahthey hain tumse shadishuda

par meri "mom" ko pasanad nahin hain yeh meri ada

unki yeh ada ko badal de...

kuch kar..... aye mera khuda ......aye mere khuda


wah !!! wah !!!......yeh wah nahin sachayi hain

after a long time...

After a really long time had good desi indian khana. Last saturday we had a Ifthaar party hosted by somebody here. The hosts were from Pakistan so we were expecting desi food. let me explain you the system here first. everyday evening somebody or the other would get food to the masjid for ifthaar . For most part of the time its arabian food. We have rice and chicken.hmm chicken ...iss ke baare mein jitna kam kaha jaye uthna acha. most of the time its without any spices or salt or mirchi. i mean we are thankful that we get nv food but then u know after a point of time its get very difficult for the desis to eat it everyday.

This saturday was different, we had ifthaar a party . Big turn out at the civic centre where the dinner took place. now let me describe the menu we had podina ki chutney , raitha ( not like the one which " my some one" makes ...what she makes is out of the world ) we had Vegetable Biriyani, fried chicken , chicken gravy ( made in typical indian punjabi style and it tasted awesome..) we also had mutton fry which not was so good but then manageable and butter nans. All of us filled the plates like mad. fill your plate as much as you can the first time because yahan ki public ka koi bharosa nahin kab khana khatam ho jayega we will not know. sab pe plates were like overflowing but then ek kahawath hain " insaan dil bhare tak khana apne plate mein daaltha hai par paet bhare tak hie kha saktha hain " . We stuffed as much as we could and we enjoyed the food. There was a small table in between the ladies side n the gents side which had only cups n saucers and no food. abhi sab log intezaar mein hain mitha aayega ki nahin aayega and mitha finally came. We had choclate cake and a fruit cake along with ras malai , we had another feast. May god bless the people who organised the dinner and may they organise ifthaar parties like these more regularly.

hey





hey hey !!! finally i have uploaded a picture on my blog. It was easier than i thought. that picture was taken by friend moses in new orleans. Its me and my friend drew standing in front of the super dome in new orleans. Super dome....hmm....lot of bad things happened inside the super dome when people were there inside . So we wanted to go there and check . We were not allowed inside so took some shots of it from outside. This picture was supposed to come in our piece but then we decided not to have our pictures in the segment. We are actually still making some changes to the piece. We were supposed to turn in show at the tv station today but then we requested for some more time to make some final changes to our katrina piece. We have lot of expectations from this one but then all of us are scared that it wont live upto it. Actually the three of us have three different ideas as to how the segment should be and there lies the whole problem. But now since we dont have time to change or edit so we have left it to one guy to change it the way or polish the way he wants. so thats going on.....

And i want to write about some one....kya batayen uss some one ke baare mein. " dil ke gehrahiyon mein koi bas gaye.." was this a song did i just write...what ever but then some one some one some one...i need to talk to you....kya some one tum bhi na....saath samundaar paar karke tho aagaye par nahin patha tha ki tumko ithna zyada zyada miss karenge....oh some one...more about the some one later..

still working...

Still working on the Katrina story...its taking a really long time. ....i have been working on this from past five days , five nights not days i should say. working all night and sleeping at 6 in the morning , its been really hectic this week. We had actually finished the edit but then we decided to change it as there were lot of interviews and less of visuals. hopefully should come out as an amazing piece.Going to new orleans was one awesome experience about which i will write in a few days...
Just spoke to my baby now and was great...!!!! She has it in her to bring back the smile on my face and lift my confidence up at the time when i need it the most. I mean i dont know if she realises this or not but then she is really loving that by speaking to her , u will feel as if a tidal wave of love has swept over you..baby u r so sweet & caring...!!!

thought

To Articulate means to speak clearly right...? somebody could correct me on this if i am making a mistake. blessed are the people who have good command over thier language and get thier point through. And people like me are definitely cursed who really suck at saying simple things...
