Shoots

The whole day of today was dedicated to finishing pending previous projects. Worked the whole day on the Video Report which we are making on 'Violence in Videogames' aka project ViV as we call it. And took some shoots of Prateek, Mariana and Inder. Again went to the bar to eat chicken fried rice with Harika. Slept early to wake up early so that I can work on the game analysis report we had to submit the next day.

'Little Big Adventure'

Today we had game analysis with Alexi. We were given the game 'Little Big Adventure' to analyze and submit a analysis report by Wednesday 5:30 pm. The whole day went by playing the game. It was a pretty good action adventure which came out in 1994 for MS DOS and was sorta innovative in many ways. Another thing about this game is that the audio of the game was entirely composed by our teacher 'Philippe Vachey'. Went out to eat at Ganesh's bar later for dinner and also met Soumya's dad today. Had a big brainstorming session on designing a sail boat for India in Inders room. Played a clan match later in the night and the end of the day.

Wasted!

Today just flew off. First off the day didn't begin, it just continued from where I was in yesterday's blog post. I finished updating my blog and didn't really feel like sleepy so I stayed up and watched the movie 'HellRide'. Then I finally slept at 7 in the morning. Woke up for lunch, played DoTA and slept again. Didn't do anything again. Another holiday. Did some basic shopping. And in the end of the day helped Anshuman, Karan, Inder and Sachin's team a little with their sailboat project. Read more 'Naruto Manga'.

Nice holiday

Nothing important or interesting about today. Just a good holiday, woke up late, direct to lunch, good games, played till long with Harshal and the biggest task of updating my blog with all my posts which i have been lazily writing on text files instead of directly uploading thim... grrr its finally done and i am at the last post and its 5 am in the morning!

Not too good

For 25, 26, 27 - Fell really really sick. Got a cold cough throat infection and fever. Ummm missed my friends and family the maximum during this time. Reminds me of an old incident, almost about a year ago during the same season. I was ill and my parents were out to work. My sister was at her friends place as well and i was alone sick and in a bad state. I don't really remember how but when my friends got to know that i was sick and wasn't eating any food, they came to my house with a watermelon, cut it into pieces and forced me to eat. I also remember that when my sister came back home, she fed me the lunch I skipped. Now looking back... I dont have anyone to feed me but not necessaryly feeding... but just the feeling that I don't have anyone around to take care of me like that... I guess that's part of my "i want to live away and alone" style... and also that now I need to take things more seriously not just acting adult cause i am 18. Haven't been attending classes too much, so spending a lot of time reading the 18 century novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. Got air conditioning fixed in my room today although that doesnt help too much when it comes to my cold and cough though. Art history today was about Ritualistic Art which went beyond my head for the most part of it. Lot of things going on in my head at the moment... At the night, had a ideas brainstorming session for Arthur,Trish and Rahul on their project of designing a economic Nokia cell phone which was interesting. Had a lot of ideas which we had to write down on post-its and later had to explain them one after the other and stick them on the board. Well the smoking and the booze was a bit eventual along with the brainstorming session though.

SickO

Gave an okay presentation. Rest of the day looked into production management. Feeling really sick. Got cold, throat infection and feeling really weak. Missin my friends and family who would have taken care of me in these conditions. Gonna sleep well tonight at least.

Grrr more work

3ds max wid Kevin. Did okay. Had to animate a foot ball in the first part of the day. Tried animating a model pre done with bones for 3 poses but failed miserably and also looked into a bit of lighting. Rest of the day worked long and hard on the presentation for tomorrow for both Animage and Intensive Week.

Reminiscence of Bruno

Nothing much about today.... watched the movie "Marley And Me".Reminded me of my bruno and nemo and the others dogs I raised...

End of the Intensive Week

Skipping the rest of the days of the intensive week which was a night mare for me. After that watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Scarface - movies which were pretty good. Played a lot of good DoTA matches winning all or most of them. Started reading Frankenstein.

Intensive Week

First day of intensive week. Wasn't too bad. Found out what we had to do and was quite surprised. Also watched the movie the dead zone.

No idea

13, 14, 15 - Been busy with stuff haven't written anything in my blog.. watched the movie twilight and the secret life of bees

The Pain of Pleasure

body fucked

Holi

!

Pre-Holi

Err didn't remember to write what happened on the previous days so... skipping to now... well its Pre-Holi and i got dragged into a water Holi fight in college and we all played a lot with just water. Then we went to each of our friends rooms getting them out and pouring water all over them. We played in the front lawns etc. Threw condoms filled with water at each other :| !. then.. we basically flooded every floor in our hostel with just plain water. Got a small lecture from the warden on the thing... and walked away as she began to speak. Then I Harika and Sameer went into Harika's room and we took a sort of shower or more shower fight with the shower (2 showers) in her bathroom. Soon joined by the rest of the gang. Called out Mahesh saying there something wrong (dont remember but i think it was fire or something like that) and as soon as he came out grabbed him and put a bucket full of water on him. I left to take a bath in the middle of the night cause I started to shiver because I was completely drenched and the weather was really cold. Wow the pre-holi bash got me a cold. No idea what is going to happen tomorrow... its holi in the resort opposite the college "manali resort".

Psycho-logy

Did a very critical brainstorming and discussion with our art history sir ranging on a very huge list of topics all linked to video games, movies and psychology etc. Went to Mumbai to attend Ankits party.

Good Day

Well art history and that's all. Narrated one of those old scary camp fire stories. Enjoyed till late night in the gardens of the college and watched the movie blindness.

Bunk

We had 3ds max again today and it was making me sick. I suck at 3ds max and was finding it very complicated. So I told Kevin and took the day off and slept in my room for most part of the day. Also again spent time reading "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" by Robin Sharma.

English n Modeling

Woke up quite late today. Almost at quarter to 10. Had the English exam at 10 in the dining hall. So I gave my English test which i think went ok... umm the later part of the day we had 3ds max course with Kevin (hes a cool guy who teaches us wearing baniyan and pyjamas). We had the option of modeling either a tower or a gun, he said the guys who felt were more comfortable using 3ds max could model the gun while the others could model the tower. I did the tower modeling obviously but i wasn't successful at texturing it properly. Started reading the book "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari".

Presentation on Fav Game

Had a surprise presentation on your favorite game and its genre. I chose DoTA but screwed up badly cause I focused too much on the subject of DoTA instead of speaking of RTS games and its history or talking about different types of RTS games. The others choose - Nikil - god of war, Pranav - Roadrash, Aman - half life 2, Karl - diablo, Sam - half life1, Julien - Lands Of Lore. Then was the mad rush to finish the project for tomorrow in 3ds max. And I hate 3ds max cause its just too complicated!! we need to make one whole room from the college, any one with all the furniture and details.

The Art of making Movies

We were supposed to have production management on video report but for most part of it we focused on looking at short clips of movies and the shots and the art of movie making and all the people involved in it. We looked at saawariya, fashion, lagaan, touch of evil.

Boring

Woke up at 1 30. Got a message for Julien. Went to the bar to have some food and beer. Had a big discussion/arguement with the principal regarding all the food regulations.
