The blog of Avinash, Christina, Anya and Kyan Meetoo.
There is a very interesting discussion going on on Eddy Young’s blog on the meaning of being Mauritian.
My opinion is it’s only through more mixed marriages that problems like ‘communalisme’ will one day be solved…

Kyan, Anya, Christina and myself wish you all a very Happy New Year 2007… Have a lot of fun during tonight’s parties! Drink a lot! But don’t drive :-)
See you in 2007…
I’ve just uploaded some new photos on Flickr.
Since discovering Flickr (and since becoming a Pro member courtesy of Stéphane), I have become an addict. I spend hours everyday creating sets, changing the metadata of existing photos (especially the old ones i.e. those I did on my film camera) and viewing slideshows with awe. I’ve obviously joined some groups and I have started contributing photos and comments. I must be feeling like Christopher Columbus felt just after discovering America…
Flickr is fantastic! Try it!
By the way, I have adopted the following workflow:
- Import all photos from my digital camera to a folder using Image Capture on my MacBook (I simulatenously rename all photos (from IMGxxxx.jpg to YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.jpg) using the free and absolutely great ExifRenamer application),
- Import all the renamed photos to iPhoto and only use film rolls for organisation,
- Delete all crap photos (have no mercy!),
- Beautify what remain (crop, enhance, retouch…),
- Tag the best ones with a specific keyword (I use Flickr),
- Upload those ones using Flickr Uploadr (more precisely the latest beta version as the stable version has stopped working),
- Create a new set or update existing sets on Flickr,
- Announce to the world (my weblog and some family mailing list) that something fantastic has just happened ;-)
Phew!
