DAPP Calendar is ready ... !!

It looks great. That being an understatement.

I have said it a gazillion time before that it gives me immense joy to execute a plan successfully. The DAPP (for late risers its DineshAmrutaPratikPrakash)Calendar was planned last month and it has come out better than expected.

We spent nearly a day shortlisting the photos for the Calendar. The theme for the Calendar was ... 3 pics for each month ... one individual pic ... one group pic .... and the last one would be a miscallaenous pic that all of us liked ... for example ... a scenery or something abstract. As far as possible, the individual pic and the group pic for any given month should not contain the same people. For example, if my pic is chosen as the individual pic for the month of April ... the group pic should contain Dinesh, Prakash and Biwi. But that was not possible for every month ... :(

Selecting the pics for the final Calendar was an arduous task but we saw it through. Once we had pics for all 12 months ready ... we decided we will have 3 more pages. The first page would be a cover that will have all 4 of us in the pic ... the second page would be a Collage containing lots of pics of the 4 of us ... this page will be present between the pages for June and July ... and finally the last page would contain another pic that contains all 4 of us. We were extremely lucky to get 2 pics that contain all 4 of us.

Once we had pics for all 15 pages ready, I sought the help of my colleague at work ... Rahul ... who downloaded some nice 2009 Calendar templates and effectively organized all the pics on the template. Thanks for that Rahul. I got the pages printed from Exquisite printers as referred to by Rahul and then got all 3 calendars binded from ABC. It looks even better on paper than on the computer.

Here is a sneak peek at THE DAPP CALENDAR FOR 2009 ... !!
































Cheers ... !!
