A take about ORIGINALITY...

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."

- Jim Jarmusch

Pictures of me cycling in Bombay!

Many of you know I'm roaming around Bombay by bicycle. Every now and then, an acquaintance or a friend tell me they have spotted me cycling around the city: some find it awesome, some find it plainly unbelievable, and others find it completely mad.

However, though I've been cycling around the city since a few months, no one has ever managed to get a picture of the white boy on his yellow mountain-bike.

I therefore solemnly announce that any picture taken of me while I'm cycling will be rewarded. The size of the reward will obviously depend on the quality of the picture! :) but could range from a brief yet awesome handshake or hug to a dinner invitation! :)

Good luck to all!
