Well it's really been a long time since I made a journal entry. Today was a sunday. In a few days we'll be leaving for Chitrakatha and hopefully its gonna be an unforgettable journey. Maya has been going on forever and I have been in distress with the animation. So much, that I actually had to talk about it to Chandan sir, who told me that if I really truly wanted to practice pre-prod I'd have to work on it side by side, and that the indian industry doesn't NEED amateurs in the field. What they need now is animators, 2D or 3D, and the edge I have over the rest is my 2D base.

Today started out with the mess breakfast. Ate aloo paratha and chocos. Managed to finish my entire tray. I love Sunday breakfast. Went to coll, was watching Grey's Anatomy, playing the addictive fb game called Adventure World. It's pretty, love the graphics. Today was the "Shuffle" pre-quasar event. I really missed it. If I'd been better I'd go - or so I'd been telling myself today. I never miss this kinda stuff but I wasn't well. I haven't fully recovered from my cold, which turned out to be tonsils, bronchitis, and a climate change infection. Luckily I went to the doctor just in time. There's a decent doc in Loni, next to Shantai. We've returned the bike, so we've gone out less. Also I lost my debit card and later my wallet. Another traumatic event in my life. :( I can't seem to stop losing things. Anyway, I'm over it now. I'm forgetting the expensive new pink tetra pack wallet I bought from Either Or, the money in it, (Rs. 500), the credit cards, and worst of all - my license. Dunno how I'm gonna get it back. Hoping that I have a photocopy at home. Later today Alok and I played a lot of T.T after having some coffee and biscuits. He was low over maya and all its uncertainly. We've started becoming more drab. Anyway, the T.T totally worked, and we played a whopping 10 matches! He scored over 10 in 2. Lol! No, but he's getting better at it, right binge? He can spin sometimes, and I can't do that till date. I'm sure he'll make a decent opponent. We had dinner at the mess, and got back to the lab. I browsed a TON. Saw some seriously inspiring artwork online, a lot of blogs and a lot of story blogs, interviews and tutorials. Overdose of knowledge. Saw a nice movie on vimeo called Gristle. Brilliant treatment. Truckloads of effort must've gone into that film. It was commendable. Finally I got to the room and watched an episode of modern family after oiling my hair (which has now become a broomstick) and washing my cooker and utensils. Forced myself to write this entry. I haven't written in what seems like forever, but I'm glad I've started again. I missed it. It's as relieving as meditation, and I don't wanna lose practice and forget how to write!

Meanwhile HiVE Aug-Sept 2011 also happened. Turned out to be a great success with a thumbs up from everyone. Oct-Nov is in the making. That's all for now. Goodnight. :)

Late Nights and stress-laughter

Yaaaayyyy!!! People I found it!! I'm so glad this wasn't corrupted in my pen drive! Hope you guys enjoy the read, and moreover, the ficticious memories! :) 24/ May/ 09 Chi looked at the computer while transferring her pictures to the pen drive. She had the expression one would have when they saw a picture of their dog after long. However, it was obviously misinterpreted by me. She was actually disgusted with the way Ranka sang. It was a pity that he sat next to her while he listened to his music. She had to listen his besura voice. Often she’d come along complaining. And the hours of stress and prolonged exposure to the computer screen made us go out for walks or to drink some water. One of those days, Chi turned left and slapped Ranka right across the face. He looked right, and asked stupidly – “What?” She raged with the utmost disgust and self-pity. “Your voice sounds like a rat being killed.” “So?” he asked. She didn’t know how else to make him stop. They were the nights I’d...

Journalling!

I've heard that journalling is a nice way to keep a record of one's experiences so that we can later recall, learn and introspect, and that's it's also a form of meditation where we can clear our minds before heading to bed. I have a horrible habit of starting things and never finishing them; the list of these things is so long that I don't even know where to begin. Journalling is one of them. It's a habit I want to cultivate for myself and see if it provides enrichment to my life in any way. I also have a horrible memory, so this way I can always refer back to the thoughts and ideas floating in my brain and dump them out here to make it the world's problem :P Since I don't have a lot of followers I welcome you all to unfollow if I get too boring. Making this public is an easy way for me to stick to it and be consistent. So let me start off by talking about how my day/week has been. Since the beginning of the lockdown in India because of Covid19, my ro...

(J) Deadly Liners

Girlfriend: And are you sure you love me and no one else? Boyfriend: Dead Sure! I checked the whole list again yesterday Waiter: Would you like your coffee black? Customer: What other colors do you have? Manager: Sorry, but i can't give you a job. I don't need much help. Job Applicant: That's all right. In fact I'm just the right person in this case. You will see, I won't be of much help anyway!! Dad: Son, what do you want for your birthday? Son: Not much dad, Just a radio with a sports car around it. Diner: I can't eat such a rotten chicken. Call the manager! Waiter: It's no use. He won't eat it either. Diner: You'll drive me to my grave! Waiter: Well, you don't expect to walk there, do you? Husband: You know, wife, our son got his brain from me. Wife: I think he did, I still got mine with me! Man: Officer! There's a bomb in my garden! Officer: Don't worry. If no one claims it within three days, you can keep it. Father: Your...
