Photoshop ka keeda.

Working with marshall school of business has given me a chance to spread my legs (or arms bt surely not wings!) in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

I found these tools miraculous and loved them! My experience with MS Paint helped me but I was astonished with the amount of flexibility these s/w's provide. I made few posters 72 inch x 36 inch for the APBO 2010 conference and they are looking awesome.. (will upload the pics soon)

Not to mention, I had tried my hath ki khujli on my dear friends.
Suhas is now shaktiman and Paris (whoa!) a body builder (Paris wont mind till Monika don't see this).

Canadian Visa..

Pravin mama invited me to visit his place and I cant tell you how excited I was.
The first thing to get was a 'Visa'.

Getting a US visa was an episode! Travelling to mumbai, staying at kaka's place, waking up early morning, looooong queue and 3 hours of waiting and controlling the 'morning pressure', series of security checks.. I had a very similar image for getting a canadian visa. But to my surprise everything was smooth as butter!

The only hiccup i got was a while taking a photo for visa.. I paid whooping $20 for printing a photograph of Canadian visa specifications (kaminey tera kabhi bhala na ho)!!

Apart from it, I just loved the process.. Only 2 people for managing ALL the visa applicants. A security guard and one visa interviewer.
Security guard gives you a token and Interviewer verifies documents and visa is approved in a day! WHY THIS CANT HAPPEN IN INDIA?! In spite of neglecting for many times, this thought still hoovered my mind.

Then the answer is so evident, Population! Just thinking of running a country with one billion people gives me a shiver in spine. Isn't it fascinating?
