ZACK - The Innovator
I created this animation film using chalk on blackboard..
Thanks to Abhishek my friend for manning the Camera!
A double thanks to my family for bearing with me all the while, and thanks to Bhabhi, for playing the role of a critic for my Coffee Cup's (Zack) expressions and design!
Also, thanks to the wall, which sadly got completely devoid of paint when the temporary blackboard was scrapped off its face! Tonnes of thanks to Papa, for having the patience, and the energy to get our home completely painted again after this wall's disaster! :D
P.S: I know I sound like a celebrity at a Filmfare award function.. but wat the heck, I am a celebrity already!

It was a full moon night, a few discrete bunch of clouds dotted the night sky. The moon light made the clouds glow with a silvery mist. A silent breeze blew, it was so subtle that it was hard to notice it. The breeze wasn't cool yet, still it provided some respite from the heat. A couple of neon bulbs sparkled atop the distant hill, saving the bulbs and the moonlight, the hill was engulfed with darkness. A dog barked carelessly and soon another one joined him, but they too fell silent soon. Silence is golden, is what the article was all about in the Sunday Times. It spoke of people preferring to remain silent to prove a point. But, did any one ever notice, that silence can not always be a choice, but sometimes a person can also be forced to remain silent.
She didn't know, exactly what made her fall silent. But, it was gradual, and certain circumstances made her silent. The silence was just as gradual as the splitting headache which she gets now. She wanted a break from the city, a break from the usual yada yada of the people around her, from the noises which were so inherent to the city, that it only worsened her headache. She wanted to escape.
Escape, not as a coward, but escape to explore herself, to find herself, to search for the girl who was long lost in the city and the expectations which the city threw at her. She had lost herself in fulfilling these expectations and couldn't realize till it was quite late. She knows now too, that escape is merely a dream, a mere wish, in her heart.
The city left her so empty that the fragile being which she is now, doesn't have the strength to search for herself. She sits here, in this moonlight, waiting as the city eats away at her strength, rendering her weaker by the second. She sits here getting lost again.

Words of Wisdom - Part I
Today I started a new thread, called 'My Words of Wisdom' :-) where as the name suggests, I will be posting some words of wisdom.. and will simultaneously post explanations of those words, which are difficult for you to understand, as you can't match my wisdom! :D
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A friend asked me to comment on "time management" and who is better at it - men or women?
I said - "Men are never on time, Adam was too early and all the others after him were too late"
Explanation-
Women are natural, when it comes to Time Management, they juggle between home, office, shopping and the list is endless.
Adam was too early, as he was the trial piece of work and Eve was the master piece, which followed the trial version. All the other men were too late to even visit the garden of Eden, and Adam had the apple, others couldn't.
