It has been quite a while since there's been a post on this blog, hasn't it?  Well, it's just that I've been lazy to write posts (and I have also been extremely busy at work).  There have been some images and other stuff that I have put up at other places (orkut, Facebook, deviantART, YouTube), but I thought it was high time I formally make some updates here.

To begin with, last time I mentioned that I would be going on a vacation to Goa.  I did just that, between 22 to 27-Jan.  This was a trip planned by me and the "Ambattur Boys", that is, my roommates when I was staying in Chennai.  Below are some photos from that trip (all taken with my Nokia N82 cellphone camera), and you can click on each one to see a larger version.  I enjoyed the vacation as it was a much-needed break from work.  We stayed at Ronil Beach Resort and places visited during the trip include Baga Beach in Calagunte, Church of St Francis, Basilica of Bom Jesus and the Christian Art Gallery.  Went parasailing and also got a temporary tattoo done.  And watched a few movies (including Hostel, Vaaranam Aayiram, Taken, Saw V), of course.

At Rajiv Gandhi International Airport Shamshabad, I spotted this, a hardcover version of Watchmen.  I so wanted to buy this outright (it was priced at Rs 1792), but then, since I already own a paperback version, I decided that I would later buy Absolute Watchmen.

The next couple of pictures were taken at Baga Beach.  Now those glasses I am wearing are a knock-off version of Ray-Ban, which I got for just Rs 250!  The significance of the next photo (me drinking Assam Tea) is that it was taken at around 3 AM.  There was a Cafe Coffee Day outlet that was open 24 hours, which was good because I like to drink tea late at night.

The next few pics were taken at the Churches visited and at the Christian Art Gallery.

And finally, this next photo was subsequently used as my profile picture at various places online, for obvious reasons!

Well, that covers the Goa Trip.  The next important event to write about, is the movie screening that I did of Fight Club early this month.  There were a couple of photos that I made as a direct inspiration from that.  This is coming up, in the next post.
