The Wats Blogs: Long Time No See
http://derwats.blogspot.com/2009/05/long-time-no-see.html
Sunday, 24 May 2009. Long Time No See. Its been a while since I dropped in on my blog. Again. This time, there were more compelling reasons than just my laziness. Considering the fact that the last post was way, way back in October of the earlier year, I have a lot of time to account for. And I shall do just that. Starting from the 29th of December! Timed perfectly to ruin everyone's New Year's plans. More on that later. After spending a little over (or was it under? Posted by Srivatsan Gopinath. Working...

Monday, 12 May 2008. No, its not a book based on the English term catch-22. THIS is the book that fathered and mothered the term (Is that biologically possible? Initially, you might believe that for Yossarian insanity is not an excuse to stay away from flying, but is the essence of his being. But soon, you realise that the only fault with him is that he is dangerously sane. The only man on the planet who can clearly see through all the pointless madness and wants nothing to do with any of it. The WORLD i...

Tuesday, 23 September 2008. Lens Reversal Result #1. After spending a considerable amount of time and energy making an extremely simple lens reverse adapter, I realised that my fingers were in no state to hold the camera and take shots safely. So I waited a couple of days to ensure the safety of the camera, and built up the nerve to reverse mount a lens. And when I finally managed to reverse mount it, it fit perfectly!

The Wats Blogs: October 2007
http://derwats.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 October 2007. That's the cover from which a piece of dark chocolate I ate came from. It looks characteristically dark with some golden highlights here and there. Although I've tasted some dark chocolate before, nothing comes even close to this! Almost. As I ripped open the foil, as aesthetically as possible, one single piece of chocolate peeked out. It wasn't as black as I expected it to be. Actually, it wasn't black at all. It was brown! 1) The piece is too big. Posted by Srivatsan Gopinath.

Sunday, 21 September 2008. It has been a while since I dropped in on my own blog to post something. This is what I have been doing these days……. 8226; Running a little, some working out in the gym and some swimming. 8226; Running the Chennai Half Marathon despite promising myself I wouldn't run it ever again as long it was held before sun down and then wishing I had kept my promise. 8226; Spending an unhealthy amount of time reading a lot of stuff online. 8226; Shooting some time lapse videos.

The colour cast and artifacts, I think, are because the chaps at the studio screwed up while scanning the negatives. Any of you know a nice place where you can get your negatives scanned without major screwups, do let me know. Posted by Srivatsan Gopinath. Links to this post. Monday, 16 July 2007.

The Wats Blogs: January 2008

Wednesday, 23 January 2008. That’s The Beach. Or as its more officially known, Marina Beach. Although there are other contenders for the title of The Beach, Marina beats all of them by a mile. Although Elliot’s Beach, and the private ones littering the East Coast each have their own USPs, there is something about the uique mix of factors in Marina that none of the others can hope to emulate.

Tuesday, 18 December 2007. I think this chap lives off the generosity of the fisherfolk and other assorted visitors. Although in full posession of that uniquely feline grace, I dont think he (or was it a she? Goes about hunting for fish and crabs, both present in significant numbers. Although the expression is quite fierce, he (or she) is surprisingly well mannered for a feral cat.
