Thanks to Venkat Macha for taking these snaps during his recent trip to IT-BHU, Varanasi, India. These snaps took me back many many years…to the days when I was studying (?) Engineering! These snaps are worth their weight in gold for me

While the delegates were getting ready for the conference, this boy was getting ready too...
“In a Planet of Our Own”
“In a Planet of Our Own” is an international conference currently going on in IDC, IIT Bombay. The conference will have talks by leading thinkers and masters in the field of design and sustainability. Sessions in this conference are to be thought provoking and will throw fresh perspective on the role of design in the context of sustainability. Speakers are from across the six continents of the globe representing best practices from North and South and East and West. Further information can be got from here. These are some pictures of IDC decked up for the conference.

The Powers of Ten
This is a wonderful film that I happened to chance upon after several years of my first seeing it. This film was made by Charles and Ray Eames in 1977 and uses the technique of “kinestasis” (varying camera movements over images). In this example the majority of the images are still images and just scaled larger or smaller as to create the feel of moving away or towards a subject. Enjoy!
Banaras!
Something took me back many years, and all of a sudden, I started thinking about Banaras. I spent four great years of my life in Banaras, enjoying the real India. This quick and rough sketch (done in Corel Painter with a Wacom tablet) is just to remember the ghats of Banaras. I will work on the details someday.
