Tiltviewer rules, ok?

It's been a long time since I pandered to the geek in me...so much to do- so little time (or was it the other way round?)

So whilst whiling time on a lazy Sunday, I stumbled across this really neat gallery creator called Tiltviewer and wasted no time in updating my online photo gallery.*

I'm finally getting the hang of wildlife photography; my subjects no longer run away as soon as I approach. With some luck, I should be able to manage this with human models ;)

*The gallery is in Flash and is urm..a bit unorthodox; many people complained that the objective of viewing the snaps was not achieved because of my choice of gallery. At first glance (or even the second and the third) I couldn't see what they meant, but around the 147th glance I realized they were right. As a fancy showcase, Tv is nice; as a photo viewer it's not really all that hot. If you hate it then you are advised to steer clear and visit the regular gallery here.

Montage curiosa

On my way home from office, I counted no fewer than seventeen hoardings today. I was taken aback - I had expected so many more. This is after all, a (kind of) democracy. I couldn't resist taking some snaps of the amazingly charismatic politicos that have so obligingly given us so much to look up to.



Exhibit A


Take a closer look at Row 2, Column 1. Omigosh! Half- orcs do exist...Saruman, thou hast committed an unforgivable deed.



Come here you...closer...clossssser


The glaring eyes...the smirk...Mommy!!




Have you seen an orthodontist lately?

I live for the day when I can grow a moustache like that.




Beauty is only sin deep

Cupid needs some rest...and rehab...and a pair of eyeglasses.




Gets a Jaykar

Ah, the female angle...these clowns are improving. Statistics show that 90% of all people who gawk at hoardings are males. Three guesses as to what they would like to look at.





Can do better

Urm, we did say that we like to look at pictures of women. But perhaps we should've been more specific.





Missing the point entirely





O Soniye...

The Congress has it all wrong. Haven't they seen this snap?



Sangli to kya, hum South Pole tak aayenge.

Put this up on hoardings and they'll be re-elected for the next 10,000 years, dubious waivers notwithstanding.




Volunteer or it's the finger!
Same problem here. With ads like these, about 99.999% of all potential volunteers are being alienated. Observe and learn.

Makes a palpable difference, doesn't it?




One ring to rule them all...and in the darkness bind them!


Yet another 'Maharaj'. Sometimes I think we are really privileged to live in an age where so many have seen the light. I just wish it had been that of an oncoming train.




Hindi bolenge pan Marathi nahi sodenge

Sachmuch ye Kangress is Desh ka vaatola kar raha hain.









On a serious note listen all Punekars, for our time runneth out. As Will Shakespeare said, "Do something, you spineless jerks." Of course, I'm paraphrasing. What he actually said was

"When our actions do not,
Our fears do make us traitors."

- Macbeth

Arise! Awake! We have seen the enemy and he is us.
