Introspection, yet again

April 18, 2006

Its the early morning cool bedsheets that make me want to stay in bed longer.
Its how a movie ends, that makes me want to watch it again.
Its the homecoming journey, that makes you wanna go back again to a trip with your mates.

Its the end that makes you want to start again. I’m not saying its the end that makes it all memorable, but its the end that makes you want to live it all again. Is it because we are afraid we might never enjoy life that much again? Are we afraid that life might not be as fun ever again? Why do we want to hold on to the past?

Why not be refreshed, even more enthusiastic and look forward to what all life has in store?
And “end” should be a search for a new beginning. Why should it be the want to live what you have already lived? Why not something new ?

What am I trying to get at? Well… end a party looking forward to another one… and let that one be an even bigger “bang”.

ps, guys … seriously need a party !! look at what i’m doing these days …!

introspection, yet again

New ID

April 14, 2006

No office in the past few days, and working from home just doesnt feel like working.
Back to a bit of coding these days. Too many things to take care of. Ever since the “RA” website went online and we noticed the “not so evident” similarities, I’ve been in a dilemma. They say, imitation is the best compliment. So although we’ve been feeling good about it, we do realise there is work that needs to be done.

Anyways, spending the last week at home, I now have this urge to move to the new office hoping things would be much more organised than the recent past.

In the meantime, I did experiment with my new camera (only in between work … small breaks ;) )

I made this new ID that I would use at deviantart …a very raw look, kinda homely feel.

So what do u guys think ?

My creative server ain’t workin’

April 11, 2006

Been trying to freeze on a satisfactory design for my ‘other’ website, www.navjotpawera.com, but seems i’m pinging the wrong server.So, what do you do when you cant seem to get past the blank sheet ?
In order to see if there is a work-around, I’ve noted down some mood swings i go through during this phase:

  • utterly low self confidence
  • absolutely no ability to make choices (can’t decide between writing slapstick or quirky :P )
  • frantic search for alternatives to EVERYTHING (something else to listen to, something else to write about, something else to DO!)
  • no realisation of wastage of time (well … its 2:25am .. for gods sake !!)
  • desperation … pure, wild, insane desperation to get something done.

Ok, so now … I tried doing these:

  • Look at sources of inspiration (websites in this case)
  • Do stuff to make me feel good (search google for “navjotpawera”, and felt happy at the 10 results it showed)
  • Tried to sleep (cant manage to fall asleep)

But nothing worked, so I went out, took my camera along, and clicked some pics …

I think these turned out pretty neat … was impressed with the camera myself .

Now this did not give me any ideas .. I’m still stuck with the blank sheet … but I think I can go to sleep now .. its 2:54am now … I better try

The “nu” lens of mine

April 9, 2006

This should’ve been here earlier. But I thought before writing about it, I might just use it and actually see how it performs.

So I bought the Sony DSC H1, my “nu” lens last week on the 3rd.

Drumrolls please :D
Sony DSC H1

Have been shutter crazy for a week now, and getting some good reviews as well :P
Am personally quite satisfied with the pic quality.

Now I’ve got a MEGA 12x OPTICAL zoom in my hands :P
Its a 5.1 megapixel and runs on 2 AA batteries (charger and rechargeable batteries included in the package)

And, it can also do this:
