10 Ten 10

The first sms that I got this year has something interesting about dates that this year we will have 1-1-11, 11-1-11 and 11-11-11. Ofcourse the timings on the respective days at one point will also read 1:1:1 blah blah blah. Okay, so what! Ever since this decade started the whole drama with the dates emerged starting with the controversy about when actually the millenium starts, from 2000 or 2001. I remember one of my professors telling about half an hour that we could see something that day which comes only every thousand years. Yeah, it was 20th February, 2002 at about 20:02. Hmm, really? I normally dont believe in this stuff but from 2006 it became very public about the repeating numbers in dates. Surprisingly(read stupid), I bought the idea and had some big plans on 9-9-9 and I bet most people have had, as 9 seems to be a special number for half of the worlds population. Alas, it was gone even before I woke up from my "rest-after-you-return-to-home-country" period.  Neverthless the thought remained and last year on 10th October I convinced my team and we started working on our first animated short film. For that we needed some random footage and photographs in the city and outskirts. We found some beautiful places on location scouting, like the one above. The project got shelved after a few sessions of work. Hope it'll see light soon....er!
