Life Without Social Media - Digital Detox

Image
This year, I completed my second-longest stint with a deactivated Facebook account, a complete 3.5 years while I write this post in July 2020.  I have had my Facebook account since December 2009 which apparently was created by my college friend Alok who couldn't see me as the only person without a Facebook account in a batch of 60 engineers :D. One day while we were sitting in the computer lab, Alok scraped my education details from LinkedIn and created a Facebook account with my name, and started adding my school mates too. For a complete month of December, Alok acted as Chetan on Facebook until I accepted to take over the account and maintain it. I had to give in before he did anything more in the name of Chetan :D though Alok was my best buddy so he wouldn't have done something funny with my account yet to be square, I took over the account. He had kept a geeky password 'Efficiency' to start with. From January to February 2010, I added all my mechanical engineering...

Looking Back To School Life

Image
[Wrote this article for a school friend, Siddharth; and tried my hands on the so-called 'modern articles!' ] School life is something every one of us can relate to... 1) We become part of the cattle race without knowing where it is leading to. and later realize... 2) We dream something... and something else happens... 3) Lessons and formulas learned hardly turn out to be useful. 4) We do get influenced by seniors who tell us what is right and what is... 5) We learn multi-tasking in the school itself. 6) We get cheerful about every small thing. 7)  And we do get disappointed as well. 8)  Sharing lunch with friends become a part of life. even when we grow up... 9) Friends are what we earn for a lifetime. and when we meet them after a long time... 10)  And when we become an alumnus of the very same school...

Rest in peace, RK Laxman, sir. It's really sad to know about your demise! You have been my biggest inspiration for sketching since childhood. Here are, few of my sketches which I did in maths notebook in school, around 10 years ago.

Collection Of Industrial Design Sketches

These are some of the links I referred to get inspiration while preparing for M.Des (Master Of Design). This collection contains some great works of many artists, tutorials for product sketching and much more one would need while preparing design portfolio as well as while learning to sketch. These would even help in cracking the design entrances (CEED, NID-DAT, etc.) plus their design aptitude tests (DATs). These links are randomly ordered. To know more about Design in India:- http://www.designinindia.net   (This link would give information about various design entrances, design colleges in India, etc.) http://teacupblog.blogspot.in (This link is the one-stop solution for the preparation of design entrances, DATs, interviews and more.) Another link which speaks a lot about Design:-  http://thedesignsketchbook.com/ Product/ Industrial Design sketching tutorials:-  https://www.youtube.com/user/sketchadaydotcom https://www.youtube.com/user/...

Football In Classroom

Did this sketch when I was in class 12th during my coaching class and completed the shading part on Metro while coming back to home. I had sketched this on the back of my notebook using only Red Ball-Point Pen (no pencil or eraser involved). Travelling on Metro can be very productive sometimes. My all favourite sketches were executed in the classrooms. Chetan Playing Football

Ants In My Pants - A Poem

[How many times you have found Insects creeping in your clothes? Well, I get Goosebumps just by the thought of it. I have encountered such situations a several times…Ants, Wasps, Bees – I have been bitten by all of them. And following is a similar story - A little kid from School Hostel who has found the army of tiny Ants in his Pants. Happy Reading! ] Ants in my Pants, Ants in my Pants, What I’ve found is Ants in my Pants. Left, Right, Up, and Down, Biting me all over as Prey they’ve Found. All of them are in colour Red, Got into the Pants as Cream-Biscuits were on the Bed. I removed them and wore another Pants, Bathroom was nearby, to God I Thanked. This Pants was having Ants Also, Kicking my torso like Xabi Alonso. I removed my Pants to take a Bath, Showed the Ants - The Water Path. Came back and wore Pants Again, Accidently, Pants were the very Same. Whom will I tell my Apathy? How will I show my sc...
