One pointless picture, three pointless stories.
The Tank, Manju and I went for a Malayalam book haul some months back. That was when I took this picture of the Tank.
I better not narrate stories about him here. On the other hand, I thought the way this picture is made into B&W is mildly interesting. If you open a colour photograph and simply change mode to "grayscale" using your favourite image editor, you'd get a rather noisy unappealing picture. There are other means to this.
