Best Days

Personal blog of Ankit Vatsa

After a while

Why am I blogging today ? I might stop if I continue thinking on that. So let me just write stuffs.

I live in Mumbai and it has been a while now. I like this city. Its good and its very diverse. In Delhi you will mostly get to see typical delhi-wala/lis’. In Bangalore you will meet the typical IT frustrated guys, they smoke with coffee while at ‘work’, and drink and blabber about  it after the work. But in Mumbai you get too see all kinds of people. Didn’t you like  the characters in films like Life in a Metro and Dhobi Ghat ?

Two days back I bought a new camera. There is a little story backing it. I was attracted to the new TV commercial of Sony alpha Nex5.  Although I have read Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely, I felt into sony’s advertisement trap. The camera looked uber-cool with small body and big lens and promised DSLR quality pictures.  I talked to my better half about buying it.  She disagreed and I started reasoning. It was finally concluded that I can buy it after two months (ask her – why ?). I shrank the period to two days (I am sorry) and went to a sony showroom, regardless my brother’s advice to buy a cannon. I didn’t make the mistake that day, but I went back again.  Something struck at the perfect time, I came to my senses and I bought Cannon EOS 550D instead, and now I realize I would have been the biggest dumb-ass if I would have gone for the sony.

This will be my first blog in 2011. The 2010 year end was great. ‘Absolut’e fun with my girl friend and her buddies. First solo trip. Bungee Jump. River rafting. And of course the 31st night party with people who matters. This year is going to be no different I guess, apart from the fact that I will be giving my resignation in October. And will be trying to get into a good management college. And may be engaged !
