That photo is a long exposure shot, taken on a timer.Quote:

No violations of CGCCPA allowed... No ways. :p
Well, it's not that hard to recognize La Defense, seen in the background.Quote:
A special prize to who tells me where is the place in this photo:
So, what's that special prize? ;)
Here is my recent picture. As a matter of fact taken today. My bedroom, computer and me.
I have got a bad habit "chewing tobacco" :D Notice the ashtray? It is for the tobacco.
Here's one of me and something I believe is a Wombat.
Trying to teach my wife to handle the camera...
(now it's taken at work :))
Nice pictures there, mitesh pandey, wildfrog and Igor Vartanov.
wildfrog, there is something special about this photo :thumb: ( not sure if others can see it .. I saw it only the second time I took a look at it)
miteshpandey, is that the design of marriage card game in the background ?
Igor Vartanov, Wow !! do you dress like that for office everyday ?? I don't remember the last time I went to office so well dressed .. and the one time I went so, people were asking if I went for an interview :D
Lol :) It isn't the "marriage" design. It is the COM class hierarchy map. Thought I would stick it up to the wall so that "the mental fog" created by reading COM the first time would lift off by looking at the designs. :)Quote:

I think kirants is talking about the hair. After 11 years I finally went to the hairdresser. I could swear that the prices has gone up about 300 percent! :eek:Quote:

Is it a coincidence that the wombat and wildfrog are essentially doing the same thing and man, their pose , the angle , it's all very much the same :lol:
Well, when I visit new places I try my best to 'blend in with the locals'. No difference if I'm at the Zoo. ;)Quote:

Btw I'm 17 turning 18 in March. :cool:
Interesting. It is funny :D
Haha thanks mate! :blush: I made another last night mainly with CG members in mind since my family can't understand the C++ humour behind it. It's a bit rude though so I don't know if I should post a link... Here's another of me:
And another :blush: ... hey Cilu has 8! Haha. Don't mind the pink wall... my dad is a property investor guy thingy... :confused: except he fixes the houses himself... that wall is white or something now haha.
Do you mean pictures? If you look down in the index, you'll actually find more. ;)Quote:

MVP stands for Most Valuable Professional. It's a Microsoft program, you can read more about it here. And no, I do not work for Microsoft.
You say I look young? Well, many people say that. The fact is I'm 27. ;)
Hmm.. there's alot of them! You honestly don't look 27 haha. :O
He's cheating >:-) is avatar is a 2 years old photo.Quote:

Finally, I got myself in to visiting this wonder lying in my very own backyard (well, almost :D, at 1000 kms away from Bombay / Mumbai), on the 3 Feb 2007.
That place is incredibly beautiful!
Cheers,
Sid!
PS: Photos can never convey the real beauty of the location... Seeing is believing!
Yeah... nice.. did you visit Agra fort and Fatehpur sikri? where all did you visit? We had gone there for a trip from Office and it was real fun.. we were about 40 people together. You can guess now... :) Its very close for us than for folks from Mumbai.. :)
.. and what's written there on your T-shirt? Stop Hacking.. <then what?>? ;)
And who are those people on the photo ? Was you having the (boys only :D ) party at your place ? =)Quote:

Couple of new pics. deep inside of Russia, winter time. (warning : snow inside)

Nice.. Whats the trophy ?
It was the thermos with a very hot tea. But in that situation it could have been called a "summer-dressed-person-while-the-temperature-was-minus-fifteen-degrees" prize.Quote:

(At the Mathura Temple, the security guards didnt let me in on attempt 1 because they said that my rucksack was too big :eek:, this in spite of the fact that I had deposited my cameras, cellphone et al. Undeterred, when I made a second attempt, they searched me thoroughly - if you know what I mean :o, and on searching my bag found a swiss knife and a USB stick. They didn't recognize / understand the knife, and also didn't understand what the USB stick does and therefore didn't let me in again. :mad: )
Yeah, I envy Delhi-ites for their great location and scenic places!Quote:

I was on vacation in North India starting with Udaipur in Rajashtan, followed by Jaipur. From Jaipur we came to Delhi and finally back home to Bombay - spending 3 nights in each of these places.Quote:

It was wonderful. I always complained of having seen too little of North India, and with this trip, I can finally claim to have seen a little. :)
Need to come back...
Here is a pic of mine at the Qutb-Minar (the world's tallest brick structure standing and 800 years old) in Delhi...

And here is a better photo of the Qutb-Minar, (better because it is one taken by me, and importantly, without me in it :D )...

Oh, that shirt is a gift from some software company during the last TechEd I visited in Barcelona.Quote:

The word 'beautiful' does no justice to it...
Here is me....there was some function... :)
Nice dress :) and snap too :thumb:Quote:

Beautiful places apart, North India (Delhi in particular) is also a wonderful culinary experience. However, I guess, the same can be said about many parts of this country - good food is rarely far away!
What function was your snap taken on?
Only 10? :confused: Earlier, you said:Quote:

BTW, that was a typo. I meant 3 nights. Have corrected it now.
// Had I spent 34 nights in each of these places, our last meeting would have probably been in one of Delhi and Jaipur instead. :D ;) Hmmm, sounds like a good location for some future meet. :)
