CHYAME KANCHA Yes,..... I bougnt this camera with the money I received (as my portion of 'the cut') when our great leader Govinda Raj Joshi was Sikchyaa Mantri (Minister of Education). Naturally, the nation had to compensiate him for his "great selfless and genenrous" contribution he offered to the country. Similarly from from my portion of 'the cut' when he ran his 'Law Firm' (of which I guess most of the ppl around here already know of...the amount of $$ he made). :-) thanks...good to know that you are also interested to learn some portrait photography .
