Sufiyan, Me and Myself!

I am Sufiyan Ahmed, a mechanical engineer in the making who loves photography. Being a photographer is what I aspire to be and being a mechanical engineer is what destiny chose for me. I believe in destiny. 18 years of my life have passed, of which every important moment is proof for destiny's existence. For instance, I sat for my engineering entrance examination with the sweaty smell of morning's cricket game all over the exam hall. To my surprise, I got in to the college under scholarship program.

I love photography. It is an activity which interests me the most. A camera in my hand will create a whole new world in which every moment, I ll cherish.My pictures have been coming out well in Macro mode. I would love to master the art of portrait and wildlife photography. Yousuf Karsh, a brilliant photographer who has captured the portraits of Einstein, Sir Winston Churchill, etc developed in me a keen interest of portrait photography. I listen to lot of music. People call me metal-head. But the genre of music I listen to changes according to the mood I am in. Rise Against is my favorite band of all time. Although I have not been much of a traveler, exploring new places are always fun and of course photographing them too.

There are these fictional character which I admire a lot. The first one would be Sir Albus Dumbuldore from the Harry Potter series. His display as a teacher, mentor, a man of patience, a man of respect, love, power, wisdom and knowledge is truly amazing. The second one would be Mr. Munro from Prisoner of birth, a classic fiction novel by Jeffery Archer. Mr. Munro always raises the respect I have for lawyers. They play with words and get you justice. The third one would be Atticus from To Kill a Mocking Bird. Atticus is a lawyer too but what I admire is the patience he has. To his children, to the cruel word, to his enemies.

I ll keep more of the blog posts coming.
Till then,
Cheers!
