Capture the Imagination!

This Lock-down due to covid-19 has changed my routine completely. I have online classes 4 days a week, attend webinars, zoom meetings, work on my college assignments and also handle my interest areas at the same time.  My online sessions start at 8:30 am in the morning so I sit along with my cup of coffee and my Phone and Earplugs are mandatory anyways.  Sometimes my classes extend the timings and I have to re plan all my work just to balance my personal and professional life. And sometimes it so happens that my classes are not scheduled for a particular day, I have the whole day to finish one assignment and within a blink of eye the whole day goes away and not a single assignment is completed- it is just so annoying.  So as shown in the illustration, I have started Multitasking as I have to make documents and reports, 3d modelling, webinars, take care of my health, spend time with my family and friends, get some peace of mind, pray, etc. On the left hand side, many words...

Hi everyone, Hope everyone is safe and is staying home. So amidst the lockdown, to spend some time,  I wanted to read a book but it was difficult to  find a book. Though many apps provide softcopy and audiobooks, the real fun is reading one with a hand. Fortunately, I got one and this book attracted me very much. How many times we have cursed our lives and destiny just because something did not go according to what we had thought of?  Yes, even I have done it, and because of this the rest of the day or the moment gets spoiled. So, the Book I was talking about is 'It Happens for a Reason" by Preeti Shenoy. It got an immediate big smile on my face. I could just connect it through the title itself. I started reading it and just could not get the book out of my mind. Every time I finished a chapter, I would feel as if the next chapter is calling me to read it. So the book justifies the title. The whole book tells the story making the readers understand how many and the differ...

As the world is going through the major pandemic covid-19, many places are in lockdown mode! School, colleges, offices are also shut. It is a kind of curfew where people are supposed to stay at homes all the time and not come out. But have you noticed something? This has promoted family time in all the houses. Personally speaking, every night amidst the lockdown in city, my family is having a great time most importantly spending time together-playing different games everyday, listening to stories of the times when riots broke out in Mumbai and yes of course praying together for the betterment of the world. I even heard how people stayed wherever they were when the riots broke out in 1992. People even lost hope of their loved ones coming back home or meeting them again. But it's always overwhelming when you see them when there is no hope, it's a great feeling of satisfaction. And if we see what is happening today, people are not ready to stay home when they are getting...

Hi everyone. I was watching LOST IN SPACE a Netflix original series for one of my Design Fiction assignment in college.This series is all about science fiction, mystery and adventure. It is created by Irwin Allen, Matt Sazama, Burk Sharpless. The main characters in are Molly Parker [Maureen Robinson], Maxwell Jenkins [Will Robinson], Toby  Stephens [John Robinsons], Taylor Russell [Judy Robinson], Mina Sundwall [Penny Robinson], Ignacio Serricchio [Don West], Parker Poesy [Dr. Smith]. I found it so good, it had suspense in a proper amount so that there are no confusions at the end of every episode. It was just mesmerizing seeing something happening in outer space. seeing the big spaceships which just feels like home. The story starts with the Robinson family crash landing on an alien planet. And as soon as they landed, troubles and problems were already awaiting. They find a Robot and he gets attached to the boy and accompanies him through out the journey. As a family they...

I recently took part in a workshop which took place in my college itself. The workshop was about Creating a visual experience. So on the first day we made a list of appealing and disturbing visuals and then later on selecting any 5 keywords from our list and then creating a story for kids. First step was to create a plot and then elaborating the story and creating frames. Frames divide the whole story into parts or sequence we can say. after discussing the plot and the storyline with the faculty I started making it digitally. I kept it minimal and tried putting bright colors so that it looks attractive. I made animated face features and used funky dialog box. I then decided to show the whole scenario happening in a book which is kept on a bag at the airport. Our faculty also explained us the reason why should someone buy your design. Another element which we focused on in this workshop was something complimentary items along with the product. It is not compulsory to put in each a...

I am a door, standing strong at place, since so many years. I have seen the changes  happening since the years. People who spent their childhood here, are now lost in their own world forgetting how many memories it has given them. Not only memories but also a bond, an attachment, with the surroundings. The Family also shifts to cities  for a better lifestyle. But the only thing that has changed here is the people. Earlier it was a Family which stayed here but now it is only a few kids and the staff, whom I see everyday  in blue uniform, with bags and bottles, some crying and some laughing. I also see people getting wood for their home, or some taking their cattle to raise. It feels very nice, when someone unlocks me. I kind of get an exercise. But more than being unlocked, I am in a still position locked, sometimes for hours but sometimes for days. Though all the problems, I am standing strong protecting the ...

Writing is a way of communicating in different languages. How many of you reading this blog have a habit of writing?  Writing does not just involve taking the notes or copy pasting something. It also involves sharing your thoughts or feeling like in Diary Writing. Letter Writing, Creative Writing, Report Writing, etc. are the other types of Writings. Writing helps to increase your writing skills, makes you feel good, helps you communicate better.  Writing has become so close to my heart that I have started sharing my thoughts, ideas, feeling, moods and all the things to my book so much. This does not mean I don't talk to anyone around me or my family, but I feel really good when it comes to sharing via writing in my book. This book I keep it to myself as a personal thing between myself and the book, like talking and sharing secrets with your favourite soft toy in older days. I feel that the book is never going to judge me, whatever may I hare with it. It's like s...
