Siempre(Por lo general) las "piezas"(estilos) van al frente, se pretende que sean brillantes, que se destaquen los estilos y que predomine nuestro "Ego", nuestro Nombre.
Creo que por primera vez en el graffiti Bogotano, pusimos las piezas atras,en el fondo, como textura. Como una mancha invisible, que no se lee muy bien, pero que cada artista que pinto en el muro sabe que esta ahi, que contribuyo en algo.
BOGOTA. Es el reflejo de un trabajo en equipo de 12 personas. no es el mural comun que veniamos haciendo, en donde cada quien reclamaba un pedazo de pared.
Es un mural para la ciudad, para todos sus habitantes que se sienten identificados con el MAPA, con los bares, con el aburrimiento, con el baile, la mochila, la risa y el Color inpactante que tiene la CIUDAD!
Ojala dure mucho....y se renueve cada tanto....
Gracias a Angelica y todos los que estuvieron apoyando la "causa", artistas y visitantes al muro

From Wikipedia
"The UnReal Times" is an Indian satire, spoof, parody and humour portal featuring satirical articles on politics, entertainment, cricket, media, international affairs and society. Founded in 2011, the portal publishes fake news reports, comic strips, mock transcripts, fake Facebook and Twitter conversations among other formats, marrying irreverent humour with biting satire in its commentary on current events. The Unreal Times has often been referred to as The Onion of India (after American satire portal The Onion), most notably by tech blog makeuseof.com.[1]
History[edit]
The UnReal Times was born in 14 April 2011,[2] when the founders CS Krishna and Karthik Laxman, drained by months of mind-numbing work on a "Shadow Union Budget" under former Finance Minister, Yashwant Sinha,[3] wrote an article titled "Government mulls direct cash transfers by dropping money bags from the sky" taking a dig at the government's much hyped Direct Cash Transfer schemes. Buoyed by the response to the article, the founders booked the domain name www.theunrealtimes.com, created the first version of The UnReal Times and began to publish one satirical article per day.[4]
Through social media websites, Facebook and Twitter, the website began to gain traction and rapidly grow in popularity, aided from time to time by viral articles such as "Manmohan Singham",[5] "BCG hires McKinsey to advise it on how to become number 1",[6] "Journalist mistakenly interviews Bollywood actor Imran Khan instead of Pakistani cricket legend",[7] "Stunning Revelation: West Indies' Cricket captain, Darren Sammy, is a Tamil Brahmin!"[8] and so on.
Features and Columnists[edit]
The UnReal Times features a variety of article formats including fake news reports, mock transcripts of cabinet meetings and cricket dressing room conversations, picture series, fake Facebook wall snippets, fake Tweet series and videos. The picture series format is particularly popular among readers, and the columnist responsible for its popularity, Ashwin Kumar, is regarded as one of the top writers in this genre.[9] Other popular columnists are Ajayendar Reddy, whose article on Dr. Raghuram Rajan was widely referenced in mainstream media and became a cult hit,[10][11][12] Anand Walunjkar, Divya Srikanth, Lokesh Bahety, Pankaj Vaidya, Pritam Chatterjee, and Srini Chandra. Some columnists write under pen names, among them are D-MAN, Hitler Swamy and Insane Insaan. The editors write under the pen name UnReal Mama.
Acclaim from celebrities and mainstream media[edit]
The UnReal Times is followed by several eminent Indian personalities
Union minister for Rural Development Jairam Ramesh reportedly emailed his friends an Unreal Times article parodying his hairstyle, to convey that satire and humour isn't lost on India's politicians.[13]
Actress Gul Panag, who follows The UnReal Times on Twitter said, "I love their satirical take on current affairs. To get comic relief while being to follow a topical matter is always welcome."[14]
Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi has been known to use some of UnReal Times wisecracks while he's criticising his political opponents. For instance, his quote[15] that Dr. Manmohan Singh should win an Oscar for acting as India's Prime Minister and his labelling[16] of Dr. Singh as 'Singham' for his pro-FDI policies are thought to be inspired from similar UnReal Times articles,[17][18] leading some to believe that the CM or his PR team follow The UnReal Times. The CM also shared an UnReal Times article from his Twitter account in a rare moment of levity on Twitter.[19]
Other eminent figures who are known to follow The UnReal Times are BJP leader Arun Jaitley,[20] Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy (on Twitter), economist Bibek Debroy (on Twitter), actress Konkana Sen Sharma (on Twitter), journalists such as Pritish Nandy(on Twitter), Swapan Das Gupta,[21] Barkha Dutt,[22] Sucheta Dalal (on Twitter) and several others. Several other prominent personalities such as Shashi Tharoor,[23] Chetan Bhagat,[24] Lalit Modi,[25] Ajay Devgn[26] have shared Unreal Times articles on social media from time to time.
The UnReal Times has also been mentioned in mainstream media several times.
Outlook magazine, in one of its articles, said, "...on the other hand, it has also inspired some brilliant satire in web magazines like The UnReal Times which almost daily brings out rollicking spoofs on the Gandhis and Congress luminaries..."[27]
India Today in a feature on The UnReal Times says, "Do we have the ability to laugh at ourselves? Two IIMA graduates are testing our humour quotient with a website that pokes fun at all and sundry, especially politicians..."[28]
FirstPost.com based one of its articles on an UnReal Times spoof titled 'Kejriwal widens attacks, demands thorough probe into how Priyanka Gandhi could fall for a chap like Vadra'.[29]
The Economist cited articles from the The Unreal Times in its article on political satire in India [30]
A tweet from The UnReal Times Twitter handle (@theunrealtimes) was mentioned in Malayala Manorama's weekly "The Week". The magazine also acknowledged The UnReal Times on the same page.
The UnReal Times or its articles have also been featured or linked to in DNA,[31] Sydney Morning Herald,[32] Bloomberg[33] New York Times[34] and so on.
Controversies[edit]
In August 2011, The UnReal Times released a video titled Manmohan Singham, featuring Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh (morphed over Singham protagonist Ajay Devgn) as an action hero fighting evils such as inflation, corruption, terrorism and so on. The video went viral on Facebook and Twitter, and was also shared by Ajay Devgn on his Twitter and Facebook. However, Congress party workers in some states were not amused, and went on to file complaints with cyber crime cells of their respective states.[35]
In early 2013, an UnReal Times article on IIPM founder Arindam Chaudhuri titled 'Dare to think beyond Google: Arindam Chaudhuri launches Ponytail Search' was blocked by the Department of Telecom along with over 70 other URLs on the basis of a court order after Arindam Chaudhari sought legal action against pages critical of his organization.[36]
UnReal Elections[edit]
In April 2014, the founders of The UnReal Times launched "Unreal Elections" a satirical novel published by Penguin Random House. The book traces key political events in the year leading to General Elections 2014 with imaginative and fictitious accounts of backroom machinations, eventually resulting in an unexpected climax towards the end. The book received positive reviews in mainstream media - Business Standard wrote that the book "will leave you breathless with waves of irresistible and uncontrollable laughter".[37] Mid-day.com wrote: "Be prepared to laugh a lot at the humourous proceedings but also to feel a tinge of sadness about the murkiness of politics".[38]
I was very tired when I returned from the Indiblogger meet , my wife had already left for Lucknow by the 3.15 pm train,, my phone was on silent I did not say goodbye to her I was all Blogs .
I bought Roshan Sorcerer home from the Meet we chatted a bit than I got busy feeding Marziyas Flowerhorns and Blackghosts .. and than her Java Finches .
Showered had some snacks I was full of Bluefrog delicacies and the most filling lunch.
Later I uploaded the mobile phone pics ..and after a few hours the camera phone pics that I placed for uploading and crashed , I am up now ..
I have documented most of the Mumbai Indimeets passionately ,,as I owe a lot to Renie Ranvin Father of Blogs ,, he has been a great friend inspiration , and almost family to say the least he and his Indiblogger Hit Team.
This entire set is dedicated to him his core team and all at Indiblogger but hey wait this set is also dedicated to Magic Eye my Blogger Bidu , the guy who pushed me towards Flickr from Fotothing , we have been Internet friends since 2004 - 2005 ..
Magic Eye Deepak Ambebal is on a 70 day trip to discover his world along with another dear dear friend Aaditya Raj Kapoor ..the only humble down to earth Kapoor after Mr Rishi Kapoor .
I hav been very close to the Kapoor family since the time Mr Raj Kapoor Sab use to feed his pet chickens at his DeonarBunglow .I use to style stuff for Chimpu Kapoor ,,, a great big bear hugging Kapoor .
I digress an inherent flaw in my blog that waver between photoblogging and storytelling.
This was the first interesting Indi Meet thanks to Renie and a bigger thanks to Big Rock.. they made water into wine into blogs ,the Big Rock team fro top to bottom was hospitable humble accommodating and condescending ,,in a way they made it happen.. all the best to all of them.
The Bluefrog catering under Firoze was just out of the world I shot his gracious staff too.. the Blue Frog bouncers were fish out of water they could not find anyone heavily drunk on tea to throw out for not asking questions ,, even when Sherry the best speaker of the lot ,, stole our hearts and attention..though she did cutely mention her fiance that put the Romeos of Indiblogger back to Sleep.
I am kidding but all the speakers hit the Bulls Eye and even Mr Vinit Goenka of BJP..Though we are still waiting for Acche Din in Blogging too ,, so fasten your seat belts I used my Canon D after a very long time ,, it was once used passionately by my 4 year old grand daughter Marziya Shakir ,, now 7 and the youngest street photographer in my family , the very youngest is Nerjis Asif Shakir 3 year old ,, both are Indibloggers , have Twitter handles and Flickr accounts and their Godfather Guru of Photography is Dr Glenn Losack from Manhattan New York ,, my last but not the least 2 year old grand daughter Zinnia Fatima uses the Canon 60 D better than she uses her Dads Motorola G for taking pictures .
It is ..6.30 am
For Fuck Sake please dont ask me what is Blogging ,, What is Blog ,,
I learnt all that from Mr Brandon Stone and the one and only one Mr Biz Stone ,,
I am learning photography online from Mr Thomas Hawk ,,,my inspirational Flickr Photographer Top of the Pops ,,,
So Good Morning out there ,,thats the Java finches that blog with sounds in our house ,,
Aditya Iyer The Nameless One future gamer filmmaker deserves an honorary mention,, and Nimmi housemaker blogger seated at my table her first Indi Meet was great company too.
