अपने घर के चोर

You find it to be a sorry ass pussy system 
that fails to respond to situations in time, 
you read up, watch stuff and blame on them for "not doing anything", 
but hardly would it strike to your conditioned imagination 
that they might just be so pre-occupied in doing something else 
that you could have never imagined. 

And yet you passive cunt, you take it all for granted
and sleep for the next day to come by,
expecting everything to be normal.

Who knows for everything,
that you quoted the system to be pussy about,
over your cup of tea and a morning newspaper,
there were these "अपने घर के चोर",
thiefs, filling their pockets.


On a side note,
Now that things have become so well connected,
the systems are so well informed, fed by numerous channels,
and fingers just like the ones that typed out this piece of brainf*ck,
clicking out zillions of preferences,
we're not far from the point when
it would be possible to crunch these into
a whole new understanding, meaning, life.

Just that in this spiderweb,
analyzing nodes, reaching from one to another,
predicting their minds and way of thinking has become easier.

SpaceLock : our upcoming project

Well off lately my geek friends and I are working on project Space Lock to put into Microsoft's Student2Business contest. We're focusing more on planning it right, so that development goes really smooth and we can divide our work properly. I realize that when you've people who are experts in their domain and when your project needs to combine different technologies, then teamwork really comes to life. You can easily assign electronics part to one, web interface to another and application programming part to another person and so on...
And you don't get into messy situation where two people are doing programming over the same C# project remotely or both are into writing PHP scripts... time does get wasted in such a scenario. How ? -
  • you end up wasting time in resolving conflicts
  • the broad picture about the project in minds of two people can differ a lot
  • you really have to communicate and keep one another updated
  • you sometimes need to compromise on amazing ideas you get, while it might be seen as impractical by your partner
  • E.g. you might be thinking about a really cool interactive UI using silverlight or flash while your partner might be more worried about availability and accessibility
While when in a web design/development the things are really well divided, you have a designer and you have a programmer :) XHTML/CSS/AJAX on one side, PHP/MySQL/Smarty on another. Anyways, here's the logo for our project, while the planning and development goes on, you can spend some time figuring out what this project is all about :) have a look -

Evil Captcha

Is this the height of spam, or height of trust, or height of programmer's wild imagination. Whatever it is... its crazy!

GTA IV or some 3d Artist's work

Nopes! don't mistake it for GTA IV, its an "The Streets of memories" by Marek Denko overlayed with HUD of the game. some more -

Last one - After many unsuccessful tries to quit smoking it looks like this time it will be successfully done. I’m really curious what will I find as a alternative. As far as I know myself I think it will be kind of coke or liquirizia roots. I didn’t like the ash part of my render so I cutted it away. If you are still interested to see it then check my demoreel with camera projected picture of real ash. That one is much better. This piece took me about 2 hours of work. Rendered in Final render stage-1.
Crowd 8 - It was a boring night and I didn’t know what to do so I typed the word “inspiration” into Google and I found this page: bsimple.com. I immediately fell in love with the work of photographer Misha Gordin. I used one of the impressive photographs and I made a re-make it in 3D. Hope you like it. Original photograph by Misha Gordin. Thank you! Done in 3dsmax with Final render.
Blood series - It all started when I cut my finger by accident. I started to bleed on the paper and notes from university. I started to play with blood trying to create some nice textures. Crazy i know. And blood series were born - then it was just a quick modeling of clothes based on real references and quick light setup. Rendered in Final render stage-1. Overpainted with my blood and lot of dirt textures in Photoshop.
Waiting for spring - It took me one week of work. I tried to achieve photorealistic look. I downloaded blueprints from http://www.suurland.com/ . I took many pictures of real Fiat500L to have best references as possible. Snow beneath the car is modeled and after displaced with semi-procedural displacement map. There is all 3d except the houses in background. Rendered in Final render.
Behind the portrait of Dorian Grey - I tried to achieve a good portrait look with deep feeling. It should be the dark side of Dorian Grey. Rendered in Final r
