This is the second election I missed. I have to admit that I have never voted till date. (yeah, shame on me.) With my family shifting homes constantly, I could never prove the electoral office which constituency I belonged to. And without that, it is impossible to get a voter’s card.

Sweets on a platter
Warding off the evil
Start of a new season

Personally, I have never been [...]

It’s been a crazy long week. It’s only after I sat down to work with my motion design project did I realized I had tons of work to do. To add to my perils I had series of ideas to start and end the project. The best thing to do when brain gets worked up [...]

On Friday I was returning to 33rd Street in PATH when I overheard an interesting conversation. Right, eavesdropping is not a good habit. But when you have only one earphone plugged into your ear while the other one is in your friend’s ear, let’s not forget that the other under privileged ear of yours is [...]

What happens when you blissfully forget about a blog you started (or rather were asked to start)? In my case I forget my password. Something that I am not proud of because I seem to be quiet finicky about this important deterrent to logging into online accounts.
After all the trouble, I am here. This time [...]
