Wow… what a year… 2006 surely flies fast. And I even got some mail saying that people indeed enjoy my blog. Looking back the year, one of the remarkable things to happen is my lovely wife. And while I keep off the blog, some of the stuff that are suffering are my portfolio site, my band site and of course my photography. I guess 2007 I’ll be regular.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first of the Indiana Jones trilogy, one of my favorite movie of all time. I like Indiana Jones mostly because, he’s not perfect, makes whole lots of mistakes though at the end he beats up all the baddies :)

The movie had quite a fan following allover the world, but some fans go that extra miles.

Three kids from Mississippi, 1982, created a shot-to-shot remake of the movie. twenty-one years later, their fan film creation has become an underground hit receiving attention from media elites such as CNN, Vanity Fair and even a nod from Steven Spielberg himself.

And now, in February of 2004, it was announced that producer Scott Rudin (Addams Family, School of Rock) purchased the rights to the untitled life story of the three Mississippi kids who remade Raiders of the Lost Ark over the course of 7 years. The film will chronicle the childhood adventures of Chris Strompolos, Eric Zala and Jayson Lamb on their ultimate quest to remake the greatest film in cinema history.

Now apart from this adaptation, watch out for Indy 4, with Harrison Ford coming soon 2007 ;)

Finally our band site is up & running. I would like to thank our drummer Vinay (Raghavan) for the constant pestering and making my life a living hell for the past one week. But then, I got another site up & running, and I’m really proud of it. So putting it in a better way - Thank you Rags for making the site possible :)

I’ve been playing with these guys since my engineering days in Tumkur. Dumb was the first song that I wrote in my final year in college. Its a nice feeling to look back how Neeraj, Jonks & me start perfecting Dumb with a few chords I’d composed, hmm D-G-Am. Then the 9th & some dim chords thrown in by Neeraj and I forgot the actual chords progression I composed :)

It’s impossible not to shine,
You’re the mirror to your soul

People ask me whats thats. It’s from our new song No Heroes, which I wrote. And it’s the title of our upcoming album.
