Capturing Wildlife with Kalyan Varma n Mukta Darera

As a student of PESIT, if there's one name which is impossible not to have heard about, it is of an amazing person named Kalyan Varma. If you're still very sure you've not heard of Kalyan Varma, my humble request is to spend some time looking out for information about Kalyan. I consider him as my role-model when it comes to Following one's passion. 




My good friend Mukta Darera, is another person who I adore very much for having quit her job at Intel and setting up an agency which she always dreamt about. Her company, iReboot helps people experience their dream job and find out what they love. 

She recently sent me a mail which had details about a 3 DAY Risk-Free Photography Camp in Bannerghatta. And guess what, its conducted by Kallu (Kalyan Varma). The Slogan goes like this :

"You don’t have to give up anything to try your hand at your long nurtured dream of becoming a photographer. We at iReboot have configured a fine workshop to help people like you discover your hidden talents and desires, and possibly even reboot their careers, and their lives! Without ever risking what they currently do for a living. "

I am sure many of us would have dreamt about being a photographer and master the photography skills. All we need is a Triggering Event and I am sure, this event would do exactly that. And what more, its from 24th to 26th January (Saturday to Monday which is a holiday again)

Don't think much here. Let your brain not think for you atleast this time. Think from your heart. Visit iReboot website right now.

Pakistan : Was it ever Pure?

I was more than shocked to learn that a country, as unholy as Pakistan had such a good meaning.. 

Pak in Urdu means PURE !! So Pakistan means, "The Land of Pure". Holy crap!! What an irony!  Was Pak ever pure? EVER?

I would rather eat my soul  than believing this. So I did some online research on the etymology of the word Pakistan. I discovered some more less-shocking but equally irritating facts.
  •  It was coined in 1934 as Pakstan by Choudhary Rahmat Ali, who published it in his pamphlet Now or Never.
  • The name represented the "thirty million Muslims of PAKISTAN, who live in the five Northern Units of British Raj — Punjab, Afghania (also known as North-West Frontier Province), Kashmir, Sindh, and Balochistan."
Now we know why is that inane country so very desperate to acquire the territory of Kashmir. They feel they are not pure (Pak) without Kashmir. I say,  they were never pure and will never be pure with their flawed fundamentalism and equally flawed constitution



Deliberate Digression from Topic : 
If India wished, they could have done the ablution of Pakistan long time back erasing its impurity. Mrs Indira Gandhi had a golden chance during the war for independence of Bangladesh. So unfortunate that the much touted "Most influential P.M" didn't utilize the opportunity to kick their butts properly.

Then came the incident of Plane HiJack to Kandahar which resulted in the release of 3 of the most infamous Terrorists. Eventhough India had enough evidence that it was masterminded by Pakistani ISI, they couldn't even touch Pak.

Then was the incident of Attack on Indian Parliament, the flagship symbolism of  World's biggest Democracy. Fie on us, we couldn't put pressure on Pakistan, let alone attacking them. 

Why so far, after November 26th Attack on Mumbai, India had all the proof and all the support from the world community. It was the right most time to attack them because the latest attack has been proved to be ISI / L-e-T masterminded beyond any doubts. 



Its been close to 50 days and NOTHING HAS Happened. Today, every country on Earth, including Pakistan is literally laughing at our Government for showing that "We have Ball-less". Its unfortunate that 110 crore lions are being ruled by  handful of old sheep but got to accept the fact, WE ELECTED THEM. DIDN'T WE? 

If you say, "Thats why I never participate in election!!" there can never be a bigger criminal than you ! Ask yourself..
