Home Alone.. Day 4

02:00 PM :
The weekend. Usually I laze around a lot but don't know why I got up around 6 in the morning today. Thought I will do something productive. Had my morning tea and listened to some news. Saw India beating England in the first one day-er yesterday by quite a large margin surprisingly. Wasn't expecting that to be true.
Took my breakfast - Nothing much a big bowl of cornflakes fr today with some fruits in them. Light n healthy. ROFL - taking care of my health. Hey seriously - have to take care of my growing kilos :D Well then i thot i would start of with my work but damnnnnnnn Noida Electricity. It never came back before 1.

I had to use my time and do something. Had been days before i made something so i said lets try and cook something. No real veggies in the fridge - saw i had some Soabin. Let's cook you :)

Remember someone say its a trick to cook without onions. Is it, lets see how tough that would be. Like Chilly n tangy any1? By the time i finished making the dish which turned out good enough , the only thing i thought i would love to have it with would be some Hot Puri-s . Now that I did not make, the maid took care of that and it was a pretty good lunch :)

03:00 PM :
Watching Detective Lee & Carter trying to rescue little girl Soo Young at Rush Hour :P Got a call from nephew and he wants to go watch movie. Planning to catch 3 Musketeers in 3D with him.

07:00 PM :
A nice movie, "3Musketeers" dunno why it got a poor rating tough. Big sets and nice sword fight sequences. COming back home and i could catch only 20 mins of football between Manchester and Liverpool. A draw at Anfield is OK.
However watching terminator Salvation now. It misses Schwarzenegger saying " I'll be back".

09:55 PM :
Dinner done and I am now gonna play "Medal of Honor" :D Got a game for myself to keep busy.

11:35 PM :
The game ain't bad. Kept me interested for last couple of hours.. Its a different experience to play games on a laptop than a PC. Continuing...

Home Alone.. Day3

10:45 AM :
Strange pain in both arms - stiff fingers not wanting me to work today. Seriously, no mood for office work today. Hoping to have a better evening.

"Dear Satadru Sengupta, this is your Horoscope for Friday, October 14th:

Gemini, You'll finally be able to make that jump in quality you were after; expect more rewarding duties at work and an increment in your salary scale." ----

That is what came today as my horoscope. Guess the Astro-man did not know that am not getting any until next year, unless HMmmmmM - God has something for me in store :D

02:30 PM :
Done with Lunch !! back to FM with Neeta :P


03:30 PM : 
Went out for a walk - Had s cool Banta in the scorching sun !! Was feeling better than staying inside, cuz the AC and the cool breeze from the fan is making me Daaaaaarrnnnn SleeepppY !!!!! :\  Lots of updates on fb by my friends there, nothing for me to post. I am pretty much serious when I am writing this that all i need is a pillow to hug onto and i cud be off for a sweet 6 hrs :P


05:35 PM :
Official Hours for the week are coming to an end. In deep thoughts about weekend. Too many plans to assemble in 2 days. 
The Yahoo updates say : India is at 209/5 at 40 overs against England who kinda literally toyed them on their home grounds. Don't think that the scenario has a change even after India is now at their home ground. 


06:35 PM :
Why the hell does he have to this.. 20 mins to go before the day ends, was busy wrapping up work and Prabu ne bola ke " aaao doston - sabha men baithe" 
FuCkin TrainingS every friday Eve... AaaaaarGHHHHH !!!!!! 


07 :00 PM :

06:50 PM :
Sudden urge to get myself a SLR for photography !! .. " GOD , help me to think otherwise !! "


07:20 PM :
Listening to a Bollywood number on FM Salman's HIT - "Wanted", and I had to dedicate this to our Prabhu in my own words -


                " Kaam deke dard-e-dil de gaye
                  Woh dost dost keh ke

                  Sabke jaan le gaye......              

                  Humse humari pehchaan le gaye

                  Hmmm humse humari pehchaan le gaye

                  Tum Kaam Kaam keh ke humari jaan le gaye "

Still working :\ !!!!!!!

Home Alone.. Day 1

10:05 AM :
Woke up to the fact that will be living alone for the next 4 months. The only activity which i thought till now that I will be doing regularly is to share my days with you all. Sitting at my desk i started writing even before I opened up my regular applications for work.
Ahh  !! received E-mail from Prabhu for today's work. Logging off.

11:07 AM :
I guess i should start my work now !!

12:00 noon:
Listening to a classic while doing Quality Analysis of a site-
   "Dhal gaya din, ho gayi shaam;
     jaane do jaana hai !!

    Abhi abhi to aayi ho, abhi abhi jana hai ?"

Remembering " Jumping Jack's" dance \m/ :P

01:00 PM :
Another classic on 92.5 Big FM -
" Tum Bin Jaun kahan, ke duniya mein aake "

Yes, listening to the lyrics I wonder, Bollywood has grown immensely over the last 10 years however we did loose the such great fabulous artists who rhymed such beautiful words which we still want to listen to. No doubt  there are still good singers and they are doing great job but would you really listen to the best of numbers January next year, but am sure i could still listen to this song then..

Salute to Kishore, Rafi,  Lata, Aasha, LaxmiKant Pyarelaal, R.D. Burman and the other maestros. \m/

02:00 PM :
                                      "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"
The smallest conversation with her will make you impatient when in LoV.. even if you are damn hungry :P
Lunch time :)

03:10 PM :
Trying to help team.

Prabhu : " Ok sure, you cover his work because we are gonna loose hours this week :( "
Me(in thoughts) : "Axed your own foot idiot !!"

Back to desk earplugs in :" Dil ka yeh kya raaz hai,, jaane kya kar gaye " !!

06:18 PM :
Enough clicks are never enough clicks for Prabhu. Down with 6 QA Sites but still continuing. A cup of hot "Chai" could have helped.. well 30 more mins to switching off !!

09:00 PM :

EyeS opend with a smile after scene 6 which I shudn't mention I guess :)

DreamS - a collection of reality \m/

ConfliCts of EmOtiONs :)

"She says she can't, but her eyes tell a different story."

Life doesn't hurt until you think about how much things have changed, who you've lost along the way, and how much of it was your fault, however nothing is likely to help a person overcome or endure troubles than the consciousness of having a dream. It is that dream that you help you get back in your way from any other hassle.

There are times when you are sad,like when someone in your family dies,its supposed to be sad.
But then there are times when you should be happy however you are not, and those times are even worse than the times when you're supposed to be sad.One has to live in the present. Whatever is past is gone beyond recall; whatever is future remains beyond one’s reach, until it becomes present.

All relationships encounter rough patches at some point in life. It's a normal part of life. Conflicts will surely arise if you bring two people with varying opinions together. However, that doesn't mean that the relationship will fall apart.

Trouble is part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough. When something is missing in your life, it usually turns out to be someone and thats when you know how much you love that person or you realise that you'r in love.

Pray for Anna Hazare - Hope for Better India.

I have never been interested so much in political news until now when I see Anna Hazare and his deeds for us. For the last 3 days every news channel has been covering his story and after many years, we have the chance to change the way politics have been in India. I have been reading articles in every blog and keeping an eye on the development and want to extend my support to him.

Anna Hazare, a 73-year-old Gandhian, sits fasting- until death in the burning sun at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi unless the government agrees to consider a powerful law that could punish Indian Political Corruption - even in the Prime Minister’s office

.

A former soldier in the Indian army is one of India's well-acclaimed social activists. This “Modern Mahatma” is taking the utmost act of courage and determination to push through the ‘corrupt system’ not for himself but for the future of every Indian. Anna Hazare’s little act of developing a bill called “Jan” Lokpal that will create an independent body, selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities, with enough power to investigate and punish all corrupted politicians. Within a day or two the nation has joined hands to support him. We could see that the pressure is mounting every hour on the Prime Minister and the government. The question is – will he endorse the "Jan" Lokpal? 

From a source – “Members of the opposition party have begun to make the right noises in support of Anna Hazare. And even the National Advisory Council, a powerful advisory body to Sonia Gandhi has come out in favor of the bill. But corrupt politicians and vested interests are doing all they can to kill it.”

Not only this, today’s morning news showed Bollywood veteran Anupam Kher supporting Anna Hazare's fast on "Jan" Lokpal Bill. He has also urged the figures like Mr Bachchan , Sachin Tendulkar, Aamir Khan and SRK to come forward and join the act. Comparing the Bollywood villains with these corrupted politicians ain’t wrong is what Anupam Kher meant in his words.

Even today, as the protest continues between Anna Hazare supporters and the Government, there seems no solution in sight over the notification. The government says that it can at most get a letter from the Law Ministry for setting up of the committee which means that the government is pushing for a watered down Lokpal with no hope of ending corruption, fraud and dishonesty. 

I should also praise the Indian media as to how they have been covering this with a positive attitude favoring Anna’s act. The Indian media has enough power to take this extreme act of his in justice’s way. I hope they would be careful and responsible enough to the good of India, with their coverage.

Anna Hazare has set the example. But only a national citizen’s support can ramp up the pressure to get the Government to endorse “Jan” Lokpal. I just hope the GOD gives enough strength to this great person at his age for what he is doing.

      Common India, let’s support Anna Hazare and develop India, a “Corruption Free” nation.
      Vote for Anna Hazare here, to support his deeds and share your views. (Polling- rightside) 


Please join hands and give him the Strength \m/ http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_anna_hazare_fb/?fbad4

accountbhai - inner page

A very simple and quick design for an accounting application website by our company. All I had to put my mind in for a good logo and a quick simple design. A design in an hour  while the programmer worked on the codings. Once assembled, this whole website was completed in a day and launched. A mobile version was also launched thereafter because of its success.

Webbie - design for a mobile dialer site for my company.

axismobiledialer - home page

A complete new design for the axis mobile dialer site was needed. This is what I came up with. It was a kind of test for me as I worked on Dreamweaver for the first time. A complete site developed and designed by me (except the But page done in php by my teammate). I really felt good after finishing this. It is a complete static site, simple and to the point which again I had to write.

Fire dance :P ??

my first CG- 4 yrs ago!!

Am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious to WHYs!!

Life is an eternal quest about knowing oneself !! It sometimes feel to challenge new opportunities, re-discover the hidden traits,talents and tendencies.By tendencies- I mean just to laze around, watching movies, eating a day old pizza and bottles of soda laying here and there.

But then again I think on what Leo Tolstoy once said,
                              "Without knowing what I am and why I am here,Life is impossible"

so, i then make my mind up to present myself. I am enough of a designer to draw freely upon what I have in mind. Here goes the design of my Resume-

CV -Satadru Sengupta

CV -Satadru Sengupta

As I was doing this research to see and look for ideas as to how things are represented in a Graphic designer's CV, Google gave me amazing results. There are soooo many different kinds of designed resume.
To be true, ideas of which even I would not think of thinking.It gave me a new perspective to think about designing my own .

So I was sitting down at my table with my regular CV written on 2 sheets of paper while having my cup of
black tea. I had my tickets for the Friday night movie, listening to music and sketching away randomly and I got this frame captured in mind as I was looking at the table which I tried to represent in my resume.

So now that I have prepared my resume I will start of working on my portfolio.I am think ing on how to represent it cuz most of my works are specific for webs. Well, anyways I will be surely sharing them and will be hoping to get replies on em. Till next time , adioss !!

DreaM \m/

                                          "If you think you are beaten, you  already are."

COURAGE or I think its Belief, believe in yourself and your are one step closer to sucess. I wouldnt have scored 150+ out of 200 in economics if i wouldnt have believd that I really could. I still remember that I failed couple times in my tests in school because i never felt like studying he subject not until my finals. I could not avoid that. The more I studied, the more I understood it, the more I understood the more I liked it, the more I liked it I believed that I could do it and  I really did.

Many of you out there might already be knowing this and am happy for them however there are some situations in life where in you might feel at Loss!! The trick is all in the state of mind - if you think you are outclassed, you are,you've got to think high to rise.The truth you will see, it is easier to achieve success than to treasure it.


Then again, when do you get so desperate to win somthing ? Its when you have a wish !! Wish to have somthing, wish to do somthing, wish to achieve sumthing. A wish can make you do impossible things but we cannot wish for that we know not


to be contd...

What is FEAR ?

                                 " It's kind of fun to do the impossible " - Walt Disney

There was a tiny fear in my heart as i walked into my college on my first day. Remembered being caught by a group of  seniors and their general Q&A round. The trick was, it had to be complete Hindi conversation at which I, my friends, am weak :)  However , by the end of the round i actually realized I used words like चित्रकला - पिताश्री - विद्यालय - भ्रमण - अतिउत्तम - कार्य - सफलता and few more. As I turned to leave  after bowing down to the group of "Respected Sir & Madame", I realized there was a little smile on my face and not a FEAR. Com-on, I admit that this was probably the first time in my life I have used these words.


Moving on, college was pretty good. Fear of 'coding' in simple HTML was one thing i could not get rid off. I fell in doubt if I had chosen a wrong subject, however things turned bright when 3D was introduced. The more i came to know about its power the more i fell in love. I told myself that I would learn Character Animation which I did and got my job as an animator too. I escaped the confusing 'codings' , i thought I escaped the Fear. Life was at its best when I started getting freelancing projects as well to do character animation.

Then there was a time when I saw myself working in BPO doing little animation along the same side.I guess this is why they say -" Life's a roller-coaster". Not that I had any bad experience but from time to time I feared if I would be able to get back what I would love to do, my subject, animation. I got a huge opportunity to come back into my field from a relative of mine but for some reason I didn't go for it. Was that Laziness ??  I think I felt Afraid !!
                    
                    " Thinking will not overcome fear but action will." -W. Clement Stone


Getting some hard talk from my family and after lot of cursing to myself, I decided to get a hold of myself. I started creating another demo-reel and fortunately enough I got myself a freelancing project from a company.Started working on it and before even I knew I got a call to work for this company on a full- time basis. I wouldn't miss this. When asked about my profile, as to what exactly I would have to do, they said that they would like me to document their sites, visualize the web design and keep an eye on the development of every site.  (* Can u really escape FEAR ?? its coming back to me - Website Development which means  HTML, DotNet and crappy Languages which I will have to take care of ??? Man, whatever be it I cannot or shouldn't BacK Off now.. )
By the time my Sr.Manager finished explaining my job, I had already thought off the above all but decided to face  my fear.


3 months into the job and  IT IS FUN. I enjoy doing the graphics, writing docs. for the sites and learning/building websites on Dreamweaver. I got to realize that many things would be impossible in life until you are ready to face them. 


                                   "Do what you like to do, love what you get to do,
                                     you'll always get more than you expect in life."   - Me :)

Intro

Friends, moving out Haldia ( West Bengal ) and coming to Delhi after my schooling was
of-course emotional leaving my family behind, however it gave me a brighter turn to my life. I decided to study animation and graphics. To be true i was not quite sure as to how it might turn out at the end of the 3 yrs study and it turned out that during my 2nd year of study, I fell in love with the world of 3D. Learning the subject of animation and graphics was fun.

By the end of Graduation I got my first job as an 3D animator. Life became busy everyday and yet busier when I started freelancing. But then, as we all know life has its own bitter twist and I found myself working with Bell Canada as an executive. It was interesting to learn few new things and make new friends. I kept on working on my portfolio keeping an eye to get myself to get myself a suitable Graphic job.

And today I am a Web Developer at Axis Convergence doing my thing. Designing and developing websites. I am learning to work the coding and stuff they do in HTML..Dot Net..blah blaaah however I got my hand on Dreamweaver. I built my first static website ' http://www.axismobiledialer.com/ ' and there are many other other projects which I am gonna share as we go along.

Well my friends, I am gonna be short on my intro and hope to find some friends here so that we together can share learn and grow. Not to forget today being our R-Day lets just all be proud to be Indians \m/
