on forgetting what is important
Jind mahi je chaleyo… Jind maahi je chaleyo pardes, kadi na bhulli oye
kadi na bhulli apna des… ve apni boli oye… apni boli te apna des

on acquisitions
Watching Google from the outside – with the limited information that offers – it seems they buy companies mainly to get more:
– Data. Like articles, meta data, digital archives, photographs.
– Users. Or in more general terms, customers or market share.
– Technology. Mostly, that’s software, like web or desktop applications.
– Developers. Or, in more general terms, call it employees.
More Photography Tips
1) Be patient. A further 5 minutes preparing for a shot will save hours in post-production. better safe than sorry.
2) Review your shot, and if necessary, recompose and retake. On your small screen objects may look sharply focused, on a computer monitor things change.
3) Be prepared, spare battery and a microfibre lens cleaner.

Photography Tips
1) “The Shotgun Approach” – take many many many photos. even pros discard most of their shots.
2) “The Rule of Three” – learn it. use it. your subject doesn’t always have to be dead center in the frame.
3) Take a minute to care – stop leaning on software to fix your mistakes. you and your camera can do just fine on your own.
bonus – if you’re not using a point-&-shoot, start using a wide-angle lens (30-ish) with a polarizing filter.
