I thought you might find this cute!

by faraz on November 19, 2009

A dear friend told me she was sick of my ‘new-yorker length(length, not worthy!) rants’ and that she would stop reading my blog if I didn’t cheer up a bit!!

So here goes! :-)

Day two!

Click on the kitten for a bigger version( magic...magic!!)

I think the bokeh is almost as awesome as the the kitten is cute.

SF by night, mostly!

Alright, I quit! I’m giving up on the idea of a daily photoblog for now. I find myself much happier with a format where I can tell a story without worrying about timelines.

Raza, and the momentum of the incumbent!

by faraz on November 11, 2009

Our golf days have an inviolable pattern: I get owned on the first nine holes! Embarrassingly, I’m almost always down by a number in the high single digit territory. Then there’s breakfast, soda and the obligatory fight-back. At close, I’m generally trailing  Raza by 5, and poorer by a few balls sacrificed to driver-fade, or waterlogging at the 2nd.

Yesterday was different!

Gaurav and Manav joined in for a slack round, interrupted by conversations that were not centered around  the Gaussian copula function. Those two had to leave for meetings after nine, I suspect  they decided they were better CEOs than golfers! Because me and Raza  are not CEOs ( just brilliant golfers!!), we continued to concentrate on the task at hand.

As we walked up to the eighteenth (par 4), I was back by two. Raza went first and hit a mean driver that went 250-275 yards. A few shots later, the day ended with my pressure putt, a 13 foot downhill shot to hold par. Raza, went two over on the hole and there it was-my Tin Cup moment, we were quits for the day!

Take up golf, it can be humbling. And that, sometimes, is a good thing!

Derived wisdom: If you’re basing your flight option calls on ‘who acquiesces to carry my  golf-kit, gratis?’. You’re dangerously close to losing your job.

Here’s a really fast train ride!

by faraz on November 10, 2009

Clearly, I had a lot of spare time in Dubai!

Here’s a time-lapse video from my ride on the swanky new metro system. Shot with a pocket Zi6 and edited on the aircraft tray-table (Yes, I have a legit copy of Premiere CS4 lying around on my notebook?!!!).  The output is a bit grainy. Gotta say, it does seem deliberate in places. Enjoy!
