Modelling Are you game FOr it?






 

 

Recently,I was in 

Udupi with my friend for shopping. He was keen on getting a shirt of particular  colour, so  we were knocking  at every garment show room. Alaas! it took us an hour to finally get what we want. But during shopping I noticed something,  that is the shopkeepers are diplaying the undergarments in glass shelves where as clothes on  the hangers ,                 Then I enqired the shopkeeper  the reason to do so?..Bang came the answer since the underwear have models on them  so,they are attractive ..(???? are they really so)..that made me think about the people who do modelling for some local not so famous company  imagine they being called as cheddi wallah! well, the prospects for jockey model are way far different from "The udupi underwar &co"model .Then I was told what amount they pay to these models by a person who was kinda contractor for all such things .  Fashion is going from ultra to extra ultra these days,today I was going through some article in THE HINDU which says the VOUGE fashion magazine has featured some poor people who can't even dream of seeing such dresses in their life were clad in dresses and were in for a photoshoot. They were paid pretty decently.I really don't know if it is the new fashion statement they are quoting or as the critics say it is "exloiting the poor" by paying them far less than a top class model.Ofcourse they can't be paid on the similar lines as they pay to Minnisha lamba, John Abraham or any top class model .So do you think there is really injustice done to the poor?                                                                                By posing for a 30 minutes photo shoot they earned 3 times they could earn in a day or that which equals in a week .  According to me i think its pretty fair "Exloiatation" has to be defined properly ,instead of just making a fuss about it, they should consider the benefits and appreciate the new style statement ,which brings alltogether a new face to fashion,the man in the picture is carrying an umbrella worth $500 

 and the child shown in the pic is wearing shoes worth $400 .

Multi personality conflict in me.


VOICES INSIDE ME:
This sem ,I was on a spree to satisfy my ego which has been running wither tither to get the gadgets that i wanted since long...its like suddenly an artist,a poet ,a musician ,a photographer and by far an architect is inside me each taking turns to tell me that i should be one among them, each giving his own explanations and abetting me to take their way .
Surrender to shuffle          
so, I was ultimately forced by the musician guy, inside me to kick start by getting an ipod .so i thought i would get an ipod shuffle since its looks are amazing and  your current playlist with those drums and guitars is enough  for you to attain the escape velocity! 
Its superb ! though the sound o/p is quite low,the ease to carry it shoots all the negative aspects. its plug and walk kinda model, u wont even konw that it is existing on you.Recently i came to know that it works on solid state technology that is you don't have a number of custom made parts inside but there is one big boss inside controlling the device and inturn providing you the Escape velocity !
CREATIVE INSPIRE M2600:

The musician inside me has gone green with envy ,so he started yelling yet me to stop listening to the ipod  for myself and instead get a 2.1 speaker system so thateven he could enjoy the music ..I tought that it was a good idea, because having ear phones for long is very uncomfortable experience then immediatley I was there @ the shop the next day with my friend Kiran (a music freak) for the 2.1 old version, but we were said theres no stock and not to mention i had sessionals the very next day even then neither of the music freaks din't mind the fact so I thought why should I? finally got the speaker system and once i plugged in from that day till this moment the speakers are ON!....(though its a different issue i screwed my sessionals big time i had pink floyd the wall we don't need any education in the back ground while i was studying may be it worked out too well on me!)

photography, has always been my passion but to meddle with a costly digital cam my mom always said no thanks for my photograpic techniques using the cam, so i thought i should get a cell with a nice cam ,but it takes a lot for the budget to get approved before you prove your mettle ,so with in the budjet i planned for a cell with a 3MP cam, the cam is kewl...and i'll get back with my pics in sometime..
