The Thirty Buggy Day – Day 1
Written by Anurag Bhateja on September 25, 2009 – 12:48 pm -
What can I say, delighted, happy, proud of walking so much 
hehe. Anyway, let me describe the whole experience. i woke up at 7:00 AM as I was aware of the fact that going early to click bugs will result in ZERO output as there will not be enough light. I reached at Fragrance Garden sector 36 Chandigarh at around 8:15 AM and got my camera out set it according to the light conditions. I remember days when I mess myself a lot to get the proper setting for manual mode but as per now, practice has give me 10% confidence on my light calculations. Rest 90% will come as I go further with more and more self assignments after these 30 days.
When I entered the garden, I saw SO many people there which made me a little conscious but as I moved further looking for my subject, I almost forgot about the presence of “humans” there hehe. The first group of bugs which I came across were super sensitive. I am saying this because if I even move a single step they all fly together and then suddenly hide in the bushes so perfectly that I was not able to see them. After banging my head finding these little champs, I gave up and moved forward.
As I kept on moving on the side trail of the park, I came across one garden lizard, few ants, some common bugs and lot of people looking curiously on my work. As I am not going to be on the same place tomorrow, I didn’t even bother to look at them .
When I reached to the end of the park, I was empty handed with very little shots. A bit disappointed at tired like anything, I decided to come back. While on back trail, I found the delight which included dragonflies, butterflies, jewel beetle, wasp ( missed the shot). Happy and delighted, I came back home after completing the first day of my assignment. The day was a lesson for me as I thought these bugs are becoming a bit friendly to me but they flew very quickly.
Hoping for the best for the second day, I am closing the post

Self Portrait
Written by Anurag Bhateja on May 15, 2009 – 11:12 am -
Self Portrait, originally uploaded by Anurag “Is busy!”.
This is first trial of self portrait in natural light. I have used the sun light coming from door. Here the texture of grey lines is the steel jaali attached to the door.
As a first trial I am not sure if it came out according to the requirement in my mind but I am sure about one thing that I am going to continue this self portrait for now on.
The next experiment will be with a little look change which I am planning for today and I am too scared of mom because she is gonna kill me definitely for the thing I am going to do hehe.

My New Year Resolution
Written by Anurag Bhateja on December 26, 2008 – 9:31 am -Well well… One more disturbing year is coming to an end and I am really feeling that this year should not get repeated. There is not even a single field in which I did not feel that I am not having problem. Either it is family or business almost everything got screwed. But some of the things really made me feel good.
1. I got some really good clients including Can Asia, OCCS, Forte Realtors and some other.
2. Started taking photography seriously whose result I will publish on 29th Dec 2008.
3. Mom shifted to Chandigarh!!! Woopie!
4. My Graduation got completed in one go! Man it was hard to do business and studies all together 
5. Became Financial Consultant under HDFC Standard Life.
6. Made few new resellers under my firm which I will discuss in some other post.
7. Made some new friends in field of photography and hey I am getting noticed by people now . Its fun to listen to people who love your work hehe.
Now as the year is almost finished, I want to check if I can do what I want to so I am making a public “New Year Resolution”.
1. I will keep my spirit of assignments and will try to participate in as many new year contests as I can. (Do you know about anything about websites where photography competitions/contests are held? If yes, its a humble request to let me know.)
2. I will concentrate on domain and hosting business. (Development sometimes sucks as many people don’t want to pay on time, so I will take limited orders only.)
3. I will promote my blog as much as I can and will set target for subscriptions and visitors every month so that I can increase my online presence.
4. I will try my level best to get my financial status on track in first three months of 2009.
5. I will try not to get indulge in any kind of stupid stuff like some partnership or something. Some people really disappointed me in 2008.
6. I will not allow anyone to control my business as some tried this year. (Hehe they are going to get a kick in their ass soon in this year. Beware you!)
7. I will buy a Car by end of this year! Well this is dream and I know dreams come true
8. I will buy a new DSLR and by God that will be GOOD ONE.
9. Last but not least I will loose the extra pounds on me hehe.
