I ’m not sure if anybody can claim to be the sole-proprietor of it either.</em><br />So, what happened was this.<br />I was in the middle of my examinations; this was actually the second exam but since I’m in the final year and there’s like only three theoretical subjects this time around, I was actually past the half way mark, when I decided that I wanted to look at TED. You know TED Talks. Now, it’s not that I hadn’t seen any in the past; I had, quite a few of them infact. But exams do something to our machinery, my machinery. And so, at around eleven in the night I began watching these talks. It was during one of these, that I stumbled upon the <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/matt_cutts_try_something_new_for_30_days">Do something new for the next 30 days talk</a>. Now, I had already been introduced to the concept courtesy a blog post/page by <a href="http://oliveremberton.com/">Mr. Emberton</a>; but hadn’t really had the balls to actually begin with it. It seems I’ve grown a pair in time.<br />There are a few things that I need to do: quit rice, do yoga, write those thousand words per day and then some. But I was always scared. I mean come on! No rice for a month! Hell, I can’t even do that for a week! I still am scared. Looks undoable. And so when I stumbled upon this talk I sort of smiled a bit and thought: now that the reading challenge is already on; how about a <a href="http://arcumen.wordpress.com/30-day-challenge/">30-day challenge</a> to complement it. Also, rewards and retributions suck. SO, this is something that I’m going to do, because well I want to, not because if I fail, I might have to taste dog food!<br />There’s another aspect to it. The satisfaction of actually completing one might be, I don’t know worth the, umm, well the work. I want to taste it. Smell it. Feel it. The satisfaction. And, so in order to get into a habit, I guess, in order to sort of have an idea about what to expect, I’ll start with a simple one I guess. The 30-day Photography Challenge. And to make sure, I won’t be clicking sefies and posting them here, there’d be just a minor condition attached to it all: there will be no photos of my home, or the gym, or the furniture, or the pet (even though I don’t have any!) Well you do get the zest.<br />Here’s the first photograph to kick open the challenge.<br /><a href="https://storage.sajalchoudhary.net/images/wordpress/2014/03/wpid-wp-1394723640207.jpeg"><img src="https://storage.sajalchoudhary.net/images/wordpress/2014/03/wpid-wp-1394723640207.jpeg" alt="image" /></a></p> photo30 day challengephotographysajal@sajalchoudhary.net (Sajal Choudhary)https://sajalchoudhary.net/photo/phoneography-challange-my-neighbourhood/https://sajalchoudhary.net/photo/phoneography-challange-my-neighbourhood/<p><a href="https://storage.sajalchoudhary.net/images/wordpress/2013/03/img00016-20130309-0801.jpg"><img src="https://storage.sajalchoudhary.net/images/wordpress/2013/03/img00016-20130309-0801.jpg" alt="taken with my BB curve 8520" /></a></p> <p>taken with my BB curve 8520</p> photo“phone”sajal@sajalchoudhary.net (Sajal Choudhary)https://sajalchoudhary.net/photo/sorry/https://sajalchoudhary.net/photo/sorry/<p><a href="https://storage.sajalchoudhary.net/images/wordpress/2012/08/dsc00980.jpg"><img src="https://storage.sajalchoudhary.net/images/wordpress/2012/08/dsc00980.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p><em>Sorry mum!! 🙂</em></p> photosajal@sajalchoudhary.net (Sajal Choudhary)https://sajalchoudhary.net/photo/the-eye/https://sajalchoudhary.net/photo/the-eye/<p><a href="https://storage.sajalchoudhary.net/images/wordpress/2012/08/dsc00979.jpg"><img src="https://storage.sajalchoudhary.net/images/wordpress/2012/08/dsc00979.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p><em>The big bad wheel in a typical Indian Mela</em></p> photosajal@sajalchoudhary.net (Sajal Choudhary)
