Buying our DSLR

Our very own DSLR !!!!!
Every time I saw someone using a DSLR for photography, I wanted one for myself. I simply wanted it, but had never even gone into the shop to even look at it. Not that I had never handled the camera, infact I had used my friends cameras to shoot some nice pictures. I always used to think whether I would really pursue the photographic interest that much to invest in a DSLR.
However, today all these questions have just vanished, reason - well my husband just bought our DSLR !!
Supratim was looking at these different options of DSLR since last two months. We had even gone to look at Canon 400 D and had liked it very much. Had almost finalized on this camera. However, the release of Canon 1000 D has stopped the production of Canon 400D.
So, now we had the options of Canon 450 D, Nikon D60 or Canon 400D. And we finalized on Nikon D60. Bought our camera from Pixetra. Its really a very good place if you want to look around different cameras, try shooting with these, comparing pictures and stuff.We were in this shop for almost 1 and half hour. The person there was very supportive, we had taken our own SD card with us, and we clicked a lot of photos with the Canon 450D and Nikon D60. The salesman even offered us to compare the pictures in the showroom itself on their Mac machine.
It was really a great experience in the shop, and I would definitely recommend the Bangalorians to try out this shop if they are interested in buying cameras or lens.

Well, now keep watching this blog for pictures shot by us. Wont be great at the starting, but we hope to keep getting better at this as time progresses !!!

CBI's drive to anti-corruption

CBI's drive to anti-corruption

My blog today is about the best move that has been taken by the CBI. They would now be taking the help of the common man to fight corruption. If the government has to find the corrupt employees then they have to ask for help from the people of the country. These are the very people who have to actually face this corruption. So in my opinion CBI has a taken a very great step indeed.
The fact now remains whether CBI would really be able to curb the corruption in the city - who all would be facing the CBI's wrath and who all would be able to escape out of this with a little pressure at the right points.
I am not a person who has much political views, but till now whatever I have seen and heard, I have been led to believe that 90% of the politicians are corrupt. I hope that I am wrong, but I do not know for sure.
CBI's move for fighting corruption has made me feel better about all this. It feels like atleast we have taken the step forward. And because the common man is involved in this, he would have a chance to showcase the real picture out there in the world. It then remains the responsibility of the CBI to investigate and validate the complaints, and punish the corrupt people accordingly.

Somehow I am having this feeling - we might just be having a lot of vacancies in a lot of government departments after this anti-corruption drive is completed !!!!

Please inform CBI-Bangalore about officials of Govt of India demanding bribes or being in possession of huge assets at 080-2333 2726.
