Amnesia

Have you seen 'Finding Nemo'? Remember Dorie? Well, I remember her, and its quite incredible that I do, because I am quite like her myself. I remember nothing! This is recent development, in the last few years I think, that I can manage to conveniently forget things. It helps most of the times, because your friends don't expect you to remember anything, and over time start forgiving your forgetfulness. It helps in many other ways as well; I won't go into the details, but the end result is that my amnesia keeps me a happy man. At times I am engaged in a conversation, and if anything stops my flow of thoughts, I completely forget what I was talking about! At other times I'm reminded of things I have no idea I ever did.

I saw such a photograph recently, and my memory completely failed me. It is Sonny and me, in my room's (or maybe Sonny's) balcony. In all probability this snap was taken with Bobby's camera. All of that I can infer, but I don't remember having posed that way! Knowing how boring I can be, I would have expected myself to remember having done that, but a lot seems to have passed through my 2 bit shift register since.

It's a funny sight nevertheless. Its impossible I was drunk, I really have no Idea what prompted this. Maybe Sonny can shed some light while all of you have a good laugh! (I have removed the color and done a bit of curve tweaking to improve contrast on this one. The original one has rather gaudy orange ambient light. You can see it on Sonny's Blog)

I have amnesia and deja-vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before!
Updated:

Finally, for once, I did remember. It was this photograph that prompted our actions. I am still scared of putting the actual picture up, so I have used the new ultra cool Photoshop CS 3 Extended Beta, for morphing it a bit ;) Just a consolation, some day in the future, when this post moves out of the front page, I will replace it with the unmorphed snap. Until then....
