Welcome to my blog.
Personally, I don't think I am a person of astronomical consequences. But, someday I want my life to be like what Jim Morrison said :
I see my self as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star.
Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!"
Then- whoosh, and I am gone....and they will never see any thing like it ever again....
and they wont be able to forget me- ever.

Thanks for coming!
Hope you have a pleasant stay here.

Happy Independence Day!!!

Its almost midnight.

Here's wishing you all a Very Happy Independence Day!

Wanted to make something in Photoshop. I had some idea in my mind. A scene. A path with people from all generations walking the direction of India and looking up to it. A magnifying glass on a part of the crowd reveal the presence of the famous personalities to whom we owe our freedom. The idea was to portray that their ideologies are still respected and they still reside in our hearts. It may not seem but still a huge part of our young generation feels strongly about our country and are patriotic at heart.

I browsed through the net for some good pictures of the legends like Gandhi ji, Sarojini Naidu. Got some but was not able to successfully implement it. I decided to go for something simpler. Ofcourse, the map of India stays. I added some joyous children with flags in their hands. Also added our national song "Vande Matram". Made two variations. And here they are.

First one. A simple card on blue background. Liked this one more over the second one.


And this is the second one.

Hope that they have come out well.

While browsing for the pics on the internet I came across a good link(http://www.jamd.com/search?text=Mahatma%20Gandhi) which had some good pictures related to Gandhi Ji. I did not explore the site fully but I feel it has more exciting things to offer.
