Barbaric Expression

Jaora, 2025

I recently went on a trip to Jaora, Madhya Pradesh. There is a huge area of land called Hussain Tekri. This is where me and few family members were put up at a place called Mehmil. The entire street has four Holy Shrines. Many people who are suffering in their life from mental and spiritual problems come hear seeking healing. I have felt the presence of a higher power, myself being in the presence of all the people looking for solace of some sort, was moved. What makes an experience worth sharing is the magnitude of relevance of the outer world to the inner self. How much of an impact the event has had on the person. The main ritual one gets to see when they're here is the loban smoke ritual which was also reffered to as "Dhuni". Where the smoke is inhaled by the ones present at the shrine. Apart from the religious point of view, there were a lots of open fileds and skies for one to see. Here are few pictures I clicked. Hope you enjoy them.

In all fairness

About the things that I want

are the words that are said

to forgive any sins of the passed.

Let there be none left to haunt

as these words will be read

to answer any question that was asked.

With a loving reasonable heart

know that I am here for you.

How you would like to interpret

what keeps us apart

and what it would do

for us all to connect.

As I look upon a new day

born from what may be our past

to think I know what I am doing.

Walking the walk again the same way

undertaking the very mundane task

I feel I am in control of my doings.

If I had a chance to re-do

all that I had done.

Wasn't I atleast a bit curious

to see what I would do.

When it was my turn

to out live the life that once was.

Dearest mother,

2024-09-26T22:21:00.007+05:30

I am glad to have this oppurtunity to say, "Thank you".

Not just for the toys you bought me as a kid,

but for how you guided me through the deeds I did.

Not just for giving me a good education,

but also, for the camps during summer vacation.

You taught me how to swim,

that it is ok not to win.

You taught me how to skate

and how to contemplate.

You taught me right from wrong,

showed how to be morally strong.

You were there when everyone was gone,

showed me how to carry on.

Even now your voice like a lullaby

puts all my worries to sleep.

If I hug your arm as I lay

all my fears would go away.

When I see myself in the mirror

your loving support shows clearer.

Before I check out,

I would like to say without any doubt.

It hurts when I see tears in your eyes

and you have the most wonderful smile.

What makes Autodesk Maya the best 3D Software for animation?

2024-07-27T22:39:00.000+05:30

The advent of computer graphics goes back to the 1940's where the very first computer assisted graphics began in many different fields across the world. Initially CG was more research based and used mainly by the millitary. It was only later that CG was used in film, TV and art.

One of the most popular software used to create three dimensional computer graphics in today's time and age is Maya by Autodesk. Created by combining three existing softwares, (The Advanced Visualizer by Wavefront Technologies, Thomson Digital Image (TDI) Explore, PowerAnimator by Alias, and Alias Sketch!), the first version of Maya was released in February 1998 by Alias Systems Corporation. It wasn't until 2005 that Autodesk bought Maya.

What makes Maya so popular with the artists is the fact that Walt Disney Feature Animation worked closely during the development of the User Interface. The User Interface is very intuitive and clear. All the functionalities are neatly arranged into categories and sub categories making it simpler for the artists.

Since its inception Autodesk Maya has been used to create visual assets for many movies, television and web series, games, et'cetera.

Users define a virtual workspace to implement and edit media of a particular scene. This software can be used to create 3D models such as characters, props and backgrounds; to unwrap the models for texturing. Maya is also used for adding controls to the 3D models, this process is called rigging. It is also used to animate or add motion to various objects in a 3D space using a timeline. Once the animation is done, virtual lights are added into the scene to render high quality sequential images when compiled may result into a video. Maya can create dynamic particle systems and stimulate fur, hair and cloth. It also supports procedural modelling and texturing. It also has a huge library of visual assets that can be used to create elaborate and mesmerising graphics. The node based material creation offered by Maya helps artists script visually to create stunning graphics.

Reasons why a 3D artist should learn Autodesk Maya:

Maya is the one stop shop for all you 3D needs.
It is compatible with Windows, Linux and OSX.
Maya is used by top feature film animation studios.
Award winning films use Maya.
Maya offers a free student liscence making it financially easier to learn.
There is a lot of learning material available both online and offline.
Maya supports various file formats making transitition of work between other software easy.
Maya is built in a way that makes collaboration amongst huge teams effortless.
It is one of the few software that support NURBS Modelling.
Many people across the world use Autodesk Maya which has created a huge online community where knowledge and information is shared openly.
The chances of landing you dream job drastically increase when you know Maya.
Learning a robust software like Autodesk Maya will help make the transition to other proprietary software easier.

You are not talking to me because:

I am like a spam caller trying to make a sale
Our relationship has gone stale
You lost your phone
You just want to be alone
I am accident prone
You don't love me anymore
When I speak you feel bored
You don't care
You don't dare
There's nothing to talk about
You might shout
You have a doubt
You deserve better
I didn't write you a letter
I broke your trust
You want me to call first
You found someone else
In a dark place my mind dwells
I misbehaved with you
I can't catch a clue
I am very fake
We didn't camp by the lake
I like DC and you like marvel
I am too much of a rebel
I think too much
You don't like my touch
I broke a few chairs
I didn't kiss you on the stairs
I am not physically fit
I can't go beyond the Aquila rift
I am a liar
I can't change a flat tyre
I didn't write a poem for you
I am always singing the blues
You have your reasons
There are only four seasons
You believe I'm not enough
With me life might be tough
You are looking for true love
I don't know what love is
I am selfish
raisins are called kishmish. (not in english)
I hate politics
You don't like my gimmicks
You didn't watch game of thrones
I don't eat chicken bones
I ruin things with words
You don't have pet birds
You like hills and I like beaches
I learn more than what life teaches
I don't believe in taking revenge
I am scared of a needle on a syringe
I choose to be the same
My excuses are lame
I am ignorant of a few facts
You make up for what I lack
You don't like my voice
It is only your choice
I lack self control
I have sold my soul
I make the same mistakes
I only eat vegan cakes
I am a dead heart
I make a lot of art
I am simply a puppet
I play in the shark pitt
I have a few mood swings
I don't have wings
I am broke
I smoke
I cry when I watch a few good movies
I point camera and tell "say cheese"
I've watch all the seasons of roadies
I don't like small talks
I like wearing dreadlocks
I don't own a pair of crocs
I wear mismatched socks
I have survived electric shocks
I can escape fort knox
I am a living paradox
I lack discipline
I like the tuna with the blue fin
I am my own priority
I have an addictive personality
I am lost in my duality
I have escaped reality
I am a bit lazy
I am a bit crazy
I am not very punctual
I am not very practical
I am a bit anti social
I am a liar
I am a thief and a cheater
I am a womaniser
I am a people pleaser
I didn't finish reading waking the tiger
Your parents instructed not to
Your friends insisted not to
An earthworm doesn't have legs
To make an omlete you need to break some eggs

I can think of a hundred reasons

and a hundred more

but not truly know.

I wish to change my present reality

can't do that without

accepting what is completely.

Tell me about the creatures of the deep dark ocean.

Tell me there is a solution.

Tell me there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Tell me the words of the lullaby for the devil.

I'll listen to what you have to say.

Call me whenever, even everyday.

I'd love to hear from you

and tell you that I hate girls like you

who keep a man hopeful yet confused.

Not you, you're special!

bow chica bow wow!

What is evil?

Something immoral!

Very cruel!

In a world

Waiting to

devour you

at the first

chance it gets.

Evil shows

you how to live

beyond that

which you dread.

Pushing you

closer to death.

Pushing you

closer to the edge.

So you have

a chance

to spread

across the

ever expanding

Infinite.

Evil is that

which manipulates.

Wishes to

control fates.

Can't give

but takes.

But seldom do we

truely see

the role it plays.

Like the hidden

roots of a tree,

providing support.

Into darkness

it has grown.

It's actions

have a reason.

That it knows best.

Put it not through

your meager test.

There's as much

bad in you

as there's

in me.

As we

lay in the

wake of reality.

That feeds

on consumption

of anything

and everything.

That needs

Rehabilitation

but rarely finds

completion.

These minds

Seek confirmation

of what they

already believe.

Refusing to see

that nothing

is ever complete.

With or without

these rosy glasses

there's a heart

that beats.

Let it sound

it's rhythm

to the ones

who plead.

In ways that

can't be decoded

so easily.

What is life

if not a journey.

Ask not for comfort

but strength.

To be.

To thrive.

Not just

Live.

Spelled backwards EVIL

is just LIVE.

I know you already knew.

These words are just

thoughts that flew.

Feelings that grew.

From the morning dew

to the sun setting view.

Sown into me and you.

Are the threads of

the old and new.

Let bygones BE bygones
