Crammed like the Chennai traffic

By Ananda Mahto | Published: January 30, 2006
So, week one is over, and I haven’t really had too much of a chance to reflect on what has happened so far. So, I’ll do my best to recall them now…. I’m really enjoying Chennai. In a way, it reminds me a lot of my time in Jinan, China. The main advantage here is [...]

Chennai at last

By Ananda Mahto | Published: January 23, 2006
The Waiting Period After a few days of traveling, I am now somewhat settled in my new home in Chennai, India. My journey started with a day of heavy pacing last Tuesday, waiting for 4PM when Martin was going to come and pick me up and take me to LAX. I had pretty much finished [...]

A day at the zoo

By Ananda Mahto | Published: January 15, 2006
My cousin, Zoe, came to visit just after Christmas, and one of the things she wanted to do was go to the zoo. I had just gotten my new digital camera, so I tried it out taking some videos too. Then I wanted to play around a bit with some of the effects that could [...]

One day when I get old

By Ananda Mahto | Published: January 13, 2006
Henny tells us the story about how she used to have some home videos. She’d like to watch them again, but one of her children has taken the “aparatus” to view the movies. But, when she gets old (or if she gets hurt on her ski trip that she’s coming back from tonight) she’s going [...]

Videos here and on the way

By Ananda Mahto | Published: January 11, 2006
I recently bought a new digital camera after Amy twisted my arm and made me do so. We were both looking for something small, with quick start-up time, and low shutter-lag.

Happy New Year 2006

By Ananda Mahto | Published: January 1, 2006
Wow. 2006 already. Time for resolutions and so on, if I did those sort of things 2005 was pretty good for me. Amy graduated from her master’s program, and we wrapped up our short stay in Cambridge, Mass., to return to Santa Barbara. I was lucky enough that Peoples’ Self-Help Housing took me back onboard [...]
