"It was post-WWII when the respected LOMO factory of St. Petersburg started creating a twin-lens reflex camera called “Komosomolets” (meaning “Young Communist.”), which was especially marketed towards amateur photographers. It was a copy of the 1938 German Voightlander “Brilliant” camera, so the design wasn’t really fresh. Come 1949, the original Lubitel (literally meaning “Amateur”) was presented – an enhanced and improved concept of the “Young Communist” cam. With its better features and quality, the Lubitel sales shot to over a million units sold worldwide, and was followed by the equally successful Lubitel-2, raking in two million units from its 1955 launch, to its demise in 1980."

Once upon a time Raju in a tuition class saw a girl in a red t-shirt. That just stuck.
Six years later Raju bribed a friend with Sharjah Shake to see her and tell her Jil.
Its Stuck.
Its Stuck.
Sharjah Shake - It is that summer banana shake that rocked in Kerala. No clue about its origin but its made of bananas and crushed semi-solid frozen milk sometimes with a twist of boost or chocolate added.
Ok frankly speaking. A lot of Sagitarian Frankness.
This is stupid. A harmless leaf blurred by optics. So what?
Why should one spend a lot of energy on clicking a random leaf? Is it worth?
Inside Raju's Head : It is a processed digital photo from a physical B/W negative. So it is in some physical sense, a graph. But isn't some ideology, concept, idea, vision, purpose or understanding needed to call it a photograph. Clicking a random good looking lion or building will not be wildlife photography or architecture photography.
Ok Done ! This is not a photograph !
