There are many things that get recharged on practice - like my drama skills that had become almost completely non-functional. Now that we are again doing a Bengali play (comedy) FLU by Sailesh Guha Neyogi in our old Joymahal Durga Puja group after a long long time, I am surely getting replenished on the acting front; only the rehearsal classes are running haphazard and a bit irregularly (good for me) because all members of the troupe are busy with what else LIFE, including our versatile director. Rote up the dialogs that is the fun part. As grown up adults we now have the privilege of inventing dialogs(of course with entirely different meanings) when we forget the original ones ! No such freedom existed when we were much younger.
The newspaper DNA (Daily News and Analysis - http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore ) seems to have involved in not verifying its sources of photographs and having used my photographs (does this amount to plagiarism? I think it does) after it carried some of my pictures in the 'After Hrs' section of its newspaper on 31st January 2009, which I had taken at the IIMB Yamini 2009. It is good that they covered the event but they should have cited/verified the sources of the photographs. In all probability they or their sources just picked up the photos from my blog, with the belief that no one would notice anyways - seems they could not escape as luck would have it, I spotted them in the DNA paper on Saturday. It was early in the morning when as I flipped open the last page of the supplement that I was stunned to see my pics, which I was able to recognize immediately - however there were no credits anywhere in sight! Please check the photos below from the e-paper version on their website...
