Next level...

Why si it that when you write anything which is little different from the usual crap and deeper than the usual thoughts, people think you are in a disturbed state of mind? All that I write here may not always be something that's happening to me...it may just be a thought that I have in mind due to things that I would have heard or spoken to someone.
Anyway, I have to tell you that yesterday evening it almost took me 3.5 hours to reach back home from Gurgaon..it was raining and as usual, the roads were jammed. I was on phone most of the times and it is surprising that while talking to a friend, I did not realize when the mg road that I was driving concluded on a red light that was taking me to chirag delhi. Needless to say more, I lost my way. And this usually happens when it is raining and I have poor visibility to the surroundings. :)
Today I decided to work from home - I don't have the patience to drive again today...my foot is still hurting from yesterday.
Guess what, one of my pictures in facebook..was liked by a good photographer and he actually wants to buy it so that he can frame it and put it up in one of his walls...well, that sure sounds fantastic to me...boosts my ego...and well, I also gotta tell you that I have ordered about 25 prints, of all different sizes for some on my favourite pictures that I have clicked. The ones that are good enough in the printed form shall then be framed and hung on my walls...have been waiting to do this for months now...finally decided it is time.
It is interesting how photography grew in me in these years and today it becomes my most favourite pass time...I definitely think of taking it to the next level and thanks to all my friends out there in the group who help me enhance my work...when I say next level, I mean getting technically sound..i care no more about the aethetics, framing, angles etc...over time, I will hone my skills better there. What I need to get into right now is the technical aspect of photography. Not sure if I am ready for a course yet...but it has been going on in my mind for sometime...won't do any harm...a course that I can do over weekends and that's not really very long...infact a friend Jo did tell me about the photosensitive course which is for 4 weekends and costs only about 8k...but before that I think I should learn the basics.
Yesterday was speaking to friend about this and hence all of it here....:) bear with me please...and yeah, its a thursday - just a day before the weekend begins...so guys..enjoy, work hard and then party harder...
