Poetic Soul

Poetic Soul ---------------------- The poet sings a merry tune, Verses flow and maidens swoon. A tingle in the air makes me rhyme, I sing in carefree joy, all the time! - SHAMIT BAGCHI

A prayer of love, of affection!

I pray to the almighty creative energy store. Bestow in my heart enough love, and Bountiful affection; with which,  Can I gift every passerby, all those  With whom I have ever met, and who are yet  To appear, as I traverse this path of life!

DNA newspaper plagiarizes my photographs!

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
