https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuEzpGK-SUA Someone forwarded this to me on WhatsApp. Kumar Vishwas sings beautiful poem by Narendra Mishra ji who is a raj kavi of Mewar as stated by Vishwas.

Netflix India and Amazon Prime have a good selection of movies and TV shows, even for India. It is worth a look with their free trial. You'll need 10 Mbps or faster connection for good experience . Not too many military themed movies available there though. I barely use cable these days. Even TV is...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
P.S - I'm a Christian and oppose any kind of subsidy for pilgrimages outside India. It is fine within India (e.g. Kumbh Mela or Amarnath yatra) as the money is spent in India and either results in better infrastructure in the pilgrimage spot, or more pilgrims, both of which have a multiplier effect...

............ So if the itch is strong, get whatever you can afford (even if its a top line dslr) and practice, practice, practice. Never stop shooting, that is what hones your skills. Nikon and Canon have a good enough presence in India for support, and both are good technologies. Once you commit t...

Re: Phone, Tablet & Gizmo Thread
A used 6d/5d mark 2 and a walkaround lens like the tamron 17-50 would be good enough to start off. Decent enough for portraiture, landscape etc. You could rent/borrow long lenses if you want to shoot tele stuff. Need a FF lens like the 24-105L for that. The 17-50 is a crop lens. Yes, only works on ...

Re: Phone, Tablet & Gizmo Thread
'What camera should I buy"? I get asked this question so often. My response usually is, 1. What do you want to do with your camera, i.e what kind of photography and subjects do you intend to shoot, what would you use it (mainly) for? 2. What do you want to do with the pictures you take with it? Do y...

Hmmm......
Why a DSLR? Plenty of fixed-lens compact camera options around that will deliver the same quality with a much better form factor. DP Review is indeed an excellent site for reviews and other info.
