Click 8

Oh boy! this was amazing!!! This excitement is something more about clicking. Its about processing a very memorable photo. My friend Varun sent me a soft copy of an age old (about 12 years back) picture of us sitting together on his birthday.I still remember those days when we used to gift each other a pack with a pencil,an eraser,a pencil sharpener, a ruler, some fancy scented erasers,a thin plastic box just enough to hold a pencil and possibly everything a school kid would die to have it in his bag and not to forget, the best gift that we ever expected from each other, a Ball!! Yes, i had a treasury of rubber and tennis balls back then. Maybe he did too... that was a top secret information that couldn't be disclosed... lol! Then, as we grew up, the gifts grew too.From mechanical pencils to latest pens...and we even got creative with gifting each other a model plane and beautiful chalk carvings. Everything changed but we remained the same great friends like we've always been. This picture was shot during his 8th birthday. What a wonderful time we had together back then... This pic was a sweet reminder to all those lovely moments. He sent me a scanned picture of the original hard copy and for the first time, i tried my hand at making an old pic new in Photoshop. The result was pretty good enough but consumed lot of time though.That wasn't a concern however. Thanks for that picture Varun!

Also clicked pics another 8 year old today. His sister who studies in the school behind our home. Could've clicked some more if the 'Westernized' principal hadn't started running up and down the dais in panic. And clicked close-up shots of a beautiful Honda Civic that was parked in the school premises in the evening...But the latter experience was a lot more memorable.
