Sketching  


	I do bit of sketching using pencil. I am not much comfortable with
colours. So i prefer to do sketching only. I paint sometimes but its
mostly cartoons or plain images. Not much amount of shading in it.

	I mostly sketch facial expressions. Most of them are human faces
with very few of animals also.

Writing  


	I write short stories. Uptil now I have been writing in Marathi
(my mother tongue) only. I still haven't decided to write in any other
language.No plans about that.

	Following are the types of stories that I write

 		 Detective 
 		 Serious ones
		 Light ones

	Out of these I like to write detective stories more. 

	I also write some genral things which does not fit into story idea.
It can be about any thing like storm, father, crying etc.


Photography
	Started Photography as hobby around August 97 while in US. I have
taken lot of photographs there - My first photographs.
	I mostly like to do nature photogrphy were you see greenary,
desserts, sunsets, snows, rains, beautiful landscapes, fall colours and 
so on. As I like sketching facial expressions, I want to try capturing 
those with my camera also.  I don't like flash photography though.
	Apart from normal colour photography, I have given try to black and
white photography. Got some good results in Kerala trip done in Oct,98.
	My next try would be taking pictures with film speeds 50 or even 25. 
Another adventure on the list is slide photography. But there you can not
afford to make mistakes. Just little bit over/under exposure or little shake
of camera can spoil the entire slide.
