Looking Back…

I was looking at my attempts to take a self portrait (for my last post) and remembered this blog in which the author uploaded a new self portrait every day. I thought about it and thought that the idea was cool and i should probably try something similar.

Well my photography skills leave a lot to be desired so a photo everyday is just going to be pointless. So I thought how bout one every month. This works out well coz most of my friends are mostly out of the country and ppl wont forget how I look, actually its going to be easier for ppl from whom I borrowed stuff from :P The second advantage is I will have this catalog of photos of how I looked at different times :P

Anyway this is just a silly experiment. I will put the photo behind a cut to protect you from the bad out of focus photos :P

So, here is the one for Dec 2008 :)

“huh… ahh I see the difference”

“Why? but why?”

“Ahh… kids, they need to keep changing something about them”

“You look so different… I can hardly recognize you”
(My response: “Damn! I knew I should have robbed that bank before doing this”)

“You look smart”

“You looked so much better with it”

“Ahh great… Now you will get girls” (Me: WTF?)

“Oh my god! you look like you lost 10 years”

“I cant look at you like this… why would you do that to your self”

About Chivalry…

Me: Do you think chivalry has become rare?
Her: Well… Chivalrous men are an endangered species… probably extinct. But why that question all of a sudden?
Me: I just wanted to know what you thought… (taking a sip of my coffee) So, What is it that you expect ‘men’ to do?
Her: You know, hold the door open for a woman, offer her a seat… treat her like a lady! I dont think its that hard, but men off late barely care. I have seen more than my fair share of rudeness from the opposite sex. What is it so much trouble to be a little nice?

Compliments…

Me: I cant believe you couldn’t wait for 15 min…
Her: I had to leave, I would have stayed if I could… Besides I watched the play didn’t I.
Me: How do I know if you did? You weren’t there at the end…
Her: (Raising her eyebrows) So now I have to prove that I was there…
Me: So what did you think of it?
Her: Pretty good stuff. I liked your co actors they were real good…
Me: Yep they is pretty talented actors.
Her: I read the original story from which the play was adapted… Pretty good stuff… Both the original and the adaptation
(I just smiled back at her)
Her: Now don’t fish for compliments… you know you were good.
Me: Well me and compliments have a very weird relationship.
