About
Greetings, I am Kishor Krishnamoorthi and all there is to know about me is on this page. I was born on the 15th of July in the Chinese year of the Horse, 1990 at 1:27pm. My favourite colour is Blue, as you might have noticed.
I studied from PrePrimary I to 3rd grade (1993 – 1998) at the Nehru Memorial International School, Bandung, Indonesia and from 4th to 12th grade (1998 – 2007) in the Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet, India.
My interests include photography, cryptology, computers, food, music, reading, and gaming. I can play the guitar and drums. I enjoy dabbling in Photoshop and creating digital artwork. Photography is a huge passion and cryptology interests me.
I currently shoot with a Canon EOS 40D along with a Tamron 18-250mm Lens, a Canon 50mm f/1.8, Carl Zeiss Flektogon 35mm f/2.4, Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5. For lighting, I have a Canon 430EX, Sunpak SP140, Ebay triggers, sync cable, and some coloured gels as well.
I can take photographs for albums covers or any promotional material for music artists. I can also cover various types of events for photography. If you need anything done, please feel free to contact me.
As for my style of photography, my favourite styles are Street, Portraits, Landscapes and Strobist-style. Second preference would be Sports and Macro although I am always open to trying out new styles.
I like to watch comedy, action, movies with depth and story, and Kamal Hassan movies. Favourites are The Emperor’s Club, The Shawshank Redemption, Back to the future Trilogy, American Psycho, Apocalypse Now, Swades, Devar Magan and Nayakan.
My favorite actors in Hollywood are Robin Williams, Tom Hanks, and Morgan Freeman. In Tamil movies, I would say Kamal Hassan, Rajnikanth and Vikram. And in Hindi movies, its the King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan.
I like to read fiction, true crime and selected non-fiction books. My favourite authors include Roald Dahl, Satyajit Ray, Micheal Crichton and Matthew Reilly. You can see a catalogue of books I’ve read over here.
My favourite TV shows are mostly comedy like Blackadder, Seinfeld, 30 Rock, Thats 70s Show and similar shows. I watch CSI, Amazing Race, Fear Factor, etc occasionally.
Games I like to play are of varied types, but some of favourites are the GTA series (esp. GTA III), Half Life 2 series, the Max Payne series and Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
I like to listen to music by U2, Micheal Learns to Rock, Bryan Adams, Coldplay, Guns ‘N’ Roses, The Doors, The Beatles, Kenny G and random songs here and there which I like. Classic Tamil songs are an all time favourite of mine, and I also enjoy few of the new Tamil songs. My favourite Indian music composers would be A.R.Rahman and Illayaraja.
I was the Debates Captain, and Student Editor of my school newsletter at The Hyderabad Public School. I’m currently the President of the Photographic Society and Gliding Club at my University and also Trustee of my Students Union.
I’m currently pursuing my BA Economics and Politics degree from the University of Essex, UK.
My online nickname is “Mjuboy”. “Mju (pronounced M-yu) is the Greek symbol (denoted by ยต) used in science to define very small objects.”
My mottos in life are “Everything happens for your own good”, “Nothing is impossible”, “Bash on Regardless” and “Illegitimi Non Carborundum”.
You can find my favourite quote appearing in a random order in the sidebar.
Describing myself in the words of Julius Caesar (Act 1 Scene 2) -
“ Let me have men about me that are fat;
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o’ nights:
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.”
I’m wacky, humorous, fun and always hungry.
