The Official Bangalore Offline Meet (G2G) Thread

[Speed Pujari]

I had real fun watching the photos (photoes precisley)

The emotions were good to capture and I have been watching the bikers since beginning , the way they loose their sentiments sometimes..

For an e.g. I was shooting this pastry ...



... and someone was watching my action and noticing my subjects.. I turned back after this shot , saw archi and his expression ... Man someone give him this pastry. Look at the greed on his face -



Tomsawyer in the background was upto something, which I tried to guess but somehow get into the trap of thinking the unthinkables .. He might be thinking about his thesis, or a new research or maybe he had some intentions .. some cruel intentions when I tried to capture the subject he was looking at - ..



.. so people can guess was Tamsawyer was upto na na I am talking about the background of this image above ...

Someone was not out of his adoloscent dream of flying high, this dream was different for him (innovative he is) , as he planned to straight reach the space with a rocket tied to his back-



I was real amazed to find a gathering like this .. Someone or the other was upto something, something which was to be looked at. I saw a guy who had an itch, an itch in his middle finger (or was it a fracture) or maybe that guy had a cuppa in a roadside cafe. That cafe was full of buzzing mosquitos and one of the biggest mosquito bit somebody'd middle finger.. That finger was coming into my frame again and again .. I strongly recommend a tube of odomos for him -
fingers came in like this -

U like it? good. Its good to taste the reality ..

One more reality which John has told me long back that in early days passionate bikers use to sit over the mudguard and ride the bike facing the rear. His justification to this fact was that the lovers in those days were very tough nuts, nuts as in literally . I thought John has gone insane, but agreed to his logic so as not to disappoint him (I gotta galaxy sized heart u know) ...
BUT !!! yesterday I witnessed something which proves John was right, he was right at his logic, his story, his point and his knowledge when I saw this-


That was how a biker can sit over the mudguard, facing his girlfriend and also checking his speedlimits on the speedo. Well he used side mirrors to manuever (its my logic, u are open to put if u have more guesses) .

Then came the intorduction round, which no-one seemed to intersted in except the person giving his own intro. Well , so the much un-intersted crowd managed to pause the intro round in the middle.. There were some interetsing intro viz --

prabhu- Hi guys, I am bravo, prabhubravo (no its not Bajaj bravo) .. I am a die hard fan of cruisers, have watched Ghost rider 8 times . Got this T-Shirt as a free gift from PVR.
Navnish (Thinking)- huuuh - I have four of them.


Then one more-
Avin- Guys I am sssss (he got cold it seems) .. I am ssss avin. (His T shirt quote has taken a toll over his health, Holland ? Its cold man)



Then I saw someone interrupting in the middle of nowhere. He had an expression on his face as if he is missing something, later did I realised he missed his turn of introduction ..

Saj- Guys I am saj, John please man turn off that table fan man, its difficult to control the sulagti jawaani of my zulf.



As I have mentioned earlier that I saw different kinda people with diff dreams, inspiration, ambitions etc. I happen to see an ambitious politician as well. Well I can understand the heat wave of elections are on , but still .. to this extent?????

Navnish- Doston, intro me dhyan nahi dena, 'Ye acchhii baat nahin "



Then entered one hero, "lal badshah" ...

Lal badshah (Ankit)- Doston main ..
Three four guys teasing - eeee, chhi chhi chhi , late aaya chhi chhi..
Lal badshah (Ankit) - Doston mera naam ....
Three four guys teasing - laaaaaaal dupatta badmaash eeeee chhi chhi..
Lal badshah (Ankit) - Doston mera naam hai ....
Three four guys teasing - eee ooo chhhhiii laaate aaya ... chhi chhi ..

Lal badshah (Ankit) (loosing his temper) -- Eh kya chhi chhi karta hai, saaley maarunga sar pe , ha**ga ghar pe -



And then there was a round of emotional atyachaar ..
"Do Shabd' by John

John - eeeeeeeeeeeeeee, koi bhi apna bill clear kiye bina ghar nahi jayega.



And then were scenes of 'pati, patni aur woh'



Chetan is busy. he is busy with his work, life, busy in finding a bride for himself. He has no time to wash his helmet to clean up the dandruff accumulated for past 5 years.




^^^ Strong recommendation of B-Tex for him ..

And the hidden desire to get photographed



John has a veryyyyy big network ...
John with his antennas-



And then there were people who desperately wanted to meet mg. No they are not his fan-followers or anything for that matter.
The reason was this-



And then with a macho feel, we all dispersed..
An indeed fun filled GTG (evident from the shots)

^ Got 2B more careful when you are around . That's some Tehelka sting photography . I was admiring the interiors & the seat covers occupying the seats. They didnt fit the ambience. I expected Red Bull pit babes at Roadtrip.She seems to be annoyed with your 50 mm? equipment staring at her .

^This pic takes the cake (my cake). Will be your apprentice someday SPजी, to gain the Photographer's Sight & master the craft.

Hi guys,

I have a proposal, would anyone like to have a Kerala trip on 24th? I'm leaving around 4.30-5.00 AM so if any one would like to have a "guide" to teh God's Country in the rain, you're most welcome.

By the way 'Speed', nice work, looks like other than Navnish, you're the next person to watch out for.

[nathanvighnesh]
