This is my first post for 2011! This year, the reasons (read excuses)  have been numerous.

  1. writer’s block
  2. limited electricity (16 hours or is it 18? Heck, I have given up counting)
  3. trouble finding my niche: I dabble with technology, while I have an egging  for the environment and literature.
  4. Very close friends of mine got hitched. I had to be part of their merriment. Afterall they were giving up a major portion of their lives into servitude 🙂
  5. A sblog scraper site – dhintang.com, (I am not dignifying this site by providing a link) who scrapes all my content and a whole other Nepalese bloggers’ (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)  content as well. Read perishable press’s opinion why one should take action against content scrapers.
  6. I have been oogling Android makes (read mobiles) and hoping to get one in my already negative budget.
  7. But most important of all, I have found a new hobby  – photography; and have been reading/researching incessantly on it while indulging myself into weekend photography.

This is a new series of posts that I hope to introduce after having bought myself a much anticipated kit of my likening. Much thanks to Tshering (Sonam), Sushil and my special friends who have given wings to this newfound hobby of mine.

Basantapur Durbar Square, a popular Tourist destination serves as muse for one of many of amateurish forays into photography.

🙂 man loved reading this post … seems like dhintang already scraped this post!

    It already has! I did approach them about posting a link back to each post they’ve aggregated (read scraped) some time back. But did not get any response. The fact that I use internal links has posts on dhintang linking back to me, but not the case of the other Nepalese bloggers.
    thanks for liking the post

The photo was too bland. Was experimenting with light and touching up on
RGB. Liked the effects it brought about. A sine wave in the RGB color panel
i think instead of a straight fit line. Used digital photo professional. It
comes packaged along with all EOS cameras.
