My first animation

It has been long time writing in the diary... Today (its 2:11AM... I don’t think this is day!), I am going to write about an animation... made by me.

A long-long time ago, I was in second year of my graduation. I remember the day I read the announcement about the animation workshop. Animation! Something I really love it... I and Mishu (urf Rishi Kant) had decided to join the workshop and explore the new arena of the world... we had 2 sessions about the introduction of animation software BLENDER and some basic knowledge to render a movie. Following this workshop, we had an animation competition. Competition! Gives a thrill to me! Know the fact that I was very-very new and immature in animation, it was really hard to think about animation competition; however I had decided to participate into it. The first challenge in the competition was to get a theme for the animation. I thought a lot and discussed with friends, and finally decided to choose "Car accident with train on a no-barrier railway crossing". Then the animation starts! We had just a day to learn the software and finish the animation. That time I didn’t had my own personal computer, so I used PC from computer center for this purpose. Another night-out in IIT-K life! But I was doing really nice and productive work. Finally I finished the animation on time and submitted the competition entry.

Animation was not really very good, specially the camera motion part (its too fast and shacking), but being a very new and immature animator (just 2 days old), this was the very quality output. Wanna check it out? Look at the video below:

Social Friday Night – Special Belly Dance

Friday evening… a relaxing evening after very hectic academic schedule with full of classes, assignment, analysis, simulation, report bla bla… ufff… here in TU Delft, we are having social friday night event every week. Last Friday (3^rd Oct) we had Shisha with favorite tobacco, tea & sweets with main attraction of belly dance by professionalJ. We all friends (Saket, Shailesh, Hari, Gokul, Choka, and of course me!) went there for hangout; it was full of fun and entertainment. I tasted a new type of sweet, it was made of some kind of bread like stuff and they made it sweet somehow, but it was really testy… yami yami…

I also played BINGO with some Irani friends and then bally dance started! Just before the moment the dancer came on the ground, every one was busy with their group playing games, talking to each other, just relaxing… but the time she came on the floor, every game was stopped, no talk, no relax… all become silent viewer of a great performance! Ambient and environment got changed just in a moment! Amazing!

I hope you can understand that what I am doing hereJ

What else?

Nothing! Back to room after a nice and relaxing Friday evening and countdown started for the next Friday!

Introduction

In old days, people use to write dairy very often about what they are doing, what they experienced, any new finding and outcome etc… this dairy writing habit is not only helpful to write and record the event, but also helpful to store sweet memories.

I like this concept and now I am trying to put little effort to do the same. I am very lazy person for writing, so I really doubt if I will be able to make it regular, but I will try my bets to make it as frequent as I can.

Wish me good luck J
