A Question/ A dialogue


The questions that always beg answers are why the blog, why the post, why the slow churn out or why the fast (if that was humanely possible then may be the question)
The latest would have to be who is sr?

Well it feels flattering to at least have people ask those questions. Because the truth is, the reason of the blog is ‘the questions’. However the greedy people that we are, we just don’t want the questions we want ‘the dialogue.’ We want to converse through the blog, speak of the things that make us think, laugh, annoyed, amused…. whatever. Things that affect us in someway- make us take a photograph or use up some more of the ever filling out written space..
We collected the ammunition over the years and kept it in our closet for a while, but it needs both inside and outside motivation to keep the engine running for long. Moreover I was just filling out diaries that my mom thought would be suffice for my dowry! And Rana (sr) had done the entire creative circle of morphing her friend’s faces into just the most ugly people around, made videos, made ‘so’ married pictures for some others.
Therefore I needed to turn into an environmentalist, put the diary sellers out of business and make some spare space for my dowry and she needed a better outlet of her visual prowess and her keen eye for images and angles.

We decided to join forces (a sacred college pact) and do something interesting at least for the while it seemed like.  She is the visual person and I tire people with my compulsive verbiage.  We both force our friends and family to read the blog and blackmail them to becoming members, this is how we moved up the count of 10 from 8 (the last two were blackmail candidates- open admission).

We haven’t decided on the themes that we want to explore, it’s been all poetic random musing so far. But we hope to do a special South movie posters edition because we really wasted our digital camera reel (I know it doesn’t exist) on taking the pictures of all these ridiculous movie posters during one of our Bangalore meetups, and that would offer a change in mood. Another golden reason, for once i'll have no random musings stirring anywhere, they are just a visual joy!

So till the time we figure out what we really want to do, we might just bully you into reading our blogs and sometimes-even force a comment out of people (that is more of my doing than hers). Voluntary feedbacks are always welcome as well.

Going back to the initial question, who is sr? She is Shobha Rana :P (& now I’m dead)


From SR: YES SK, You are in deep

(Since I'm more of visual person)
