Let me tell you a story - Some fifteen years back, a young school boy, in the small town of Akola couldn't afford to pay Rs.200 for a photography course. It broke his heart, for all he wanted to learn was photography and not history and geography!

Yet determined, he came to Mumbai… He had no godfather, no money, no education, just a heart filled with dreams and an obsession to find his destiny. The next two years was a drill that would have broken many a strong backs but not our Munna's. He slept on the roads, temple sides, wherever he could find space for the night. The days were long as he alternated between being a milkman, a newspaper boy to floor cleaner at the various studios. Though lady luck remained elusive and he often wondered how he would ever get a chance to hold a camera or shoot those screen gods but his dreams and his smile never left him.

At every given opportunity he was there at the film studios hoping to convince an actor to give him just that one chance and do a photo-shoot with him. A daunting prospect but finally his persistence paid off and voila Arjun Rampal, the hottest new guy in tinsel town said 'Ok, lets shoot tomorrow!' That brought forth a rush to arrange for a camera and Rs 300 for the camera roll. Sleepless and adrenalin rushing he shot his first professional pictures that at once show cased his true potential and had Arjun happily exclaiming 'Good!'

Next came Mayuri Cango- he borrowed money from chai wala, phool walla and all other such friends, organizing in all Rs 5000/- for the photo shoot with her -pics that found their way to leading film publication Stardust in Feb 2000 as a seven page spread! The classic body shots of John Abraham followed…

In less than six years he has shot with almost all the stars in the Bollywood, cover pages of all prestigious magazines in the country, thousands of portfolios, publicity stills for many films, innumerable catalogues and various ad campaigns- the last one being with Salman Khan for Red Tape shoes.. Does it end here?-ask him and he would smile, with that now-famous glint in his eyes and say-"NO! This is just the beginning"!!

Thats Munna S for you, one of the leading photographers of the country. Watch out some of his excellent pics.

Really Funny Jokes

Really funny jokes-Heavenly slide

Posted: 24 May 2010 12:03 AM PDT

Three men, an Australian, a Scotsman, and an Irishman, are crossing the road, when a bus runs them all over, killing them instantly. They appear before Saint Peter, who prepares to let them into Heaven.

But when Saint Peter looks at his clipboard, he gets all embarrassed. Shamefaced, he explains that there's been a mix-up, and that the three shouldn't have been killed today at all. To make up for it, Saint Peter says that they can ride down on the Heavenly slide back to earth, and if they yell out their favourite drink on the way down, then they'll land in a big vat of it, and they can drink to their hearts' content.

The Aussie is first on the slide. On the way down, he shouts out "Aussie beer", and he lands in a large vat of beer, and starts guzzling it down.

The Scotsman is next on the slide. On the way down, he shouts out "Scotch whiskey", and he lands in a large vat of whiskey, and starts to drink as much as he possibly can.

Last one to go is the Irishman. On the way down, he's having such a fun ride on the slide, that he shouts out "Wheeeeee".

Hilarious jokes-Berserk woman

Posted: 24 May 2010 12:01 AM PDT

An Irishman and a Jew were in a pub watching TV late one night when the eleven o'clock news came on. The first sensational story was of a berserk woman poised on a window ledge seven storeys up.
"I'll bet you a hundred dollars she won't jump," said the Irishman to the Jew.
"You got a deal," said the Jew, sticking his hand out a few moments later when the woman plunged to a gory death. The Irishman sadly forked over the money and ordered another drink, only to look up in astonishment as the other fellow tugged on his sleeve and tried to hand the hundred dollars back.
"It's all yours," the Irishman protested. "You won the bet fair and square."
"Nah," said the Jew, "I saw it all happen on the six o'clock news."
"I saw it happen on the six o'clock news, too," said the Irishman, "but I never thought she'd do it again at eleven."
