A Walk on Himalaya's
Its quite a long time since the wonderful experience has passed but still I am bound to write about it. There have been numerous moments which have happened during the trek which I can never forget.
The experience took place in north India which involved Delhi, our first and last stop, Himachal Pradesh, where the trek was held and it was been organized by YHAI, India. Our (my brother's and myself) trip started on May 9th of 2007 with both of us meeting up in Delhi. I was traveling from Bangalore and my brother traveling from Hyderabad. We had problem during the start of the trek due to some misplacement of some records and we had to check it up with the organization. So walking around in Delhi not knowing where we are going and at last end up at the right location with the help of a lot of people. Finishing the official matters in about half an hour, we were told to go to a place called kullu which was our base camp for the trek. We left the place immediately and scrambled to the Delhi main bus stand to find out that our bus leaves at 6.30 pm. We wasted the time walking around with our trekking gear in that amazing heat of Delhi till then.
The bus luckily was on time and it was off to our location. Since we were pretty much exhausted we managed to sleep of in the rocky bus.

The location at our base camp was amazing with a river flowing past the side of it and the Himalayas seen from the center of the camp. I really can't put it in words. The trek started of with an orientation and then an aclamization walk. The walk was pretty nice. It was a pretty nice walk through the dense path with trees all round. We had a session of rock climbing and getting down a rock. Taking a bath in these places is not option because you get freezing cold water. I ended up with lose motion during these day and was totally in a state of not going for the trek until one of our group members was doctor came to the rescue.
The trek started of on the 3rd day of our arrival. The trip to the our start point was amazing cause it was the first time that I had been on top of a bus. The trek that day was pretty much tiring just for the fact that the route was taking us 'up and down' and nothing more or less. The camp, Guna Panni, was pretty nice with the food given also pretty well. We tried star gazing that day but unfortunately we were disturbed by hovering clouds. The next day we get up early, do a lot of bird watching and recharging our camera batteries. We start of to our next camp and that was Faul Panni. The trip to there was splendid just for the reason of its scenery. We always stopped for our lunch break and our daily stops for water and stuff were always there. We reached out next camp pretty before schedule so we had to wait out side till it was time. The camp was on the slope of a hill so we were sleeping in a slanted way. I slept of pretty early on that day. The next thing I remember was that I was on the other side of the tent. It was a pretty funny scene that day.
Our journey to the next camp was okay and very tiring just for the fact that we had to climb steep hills. We had a good time there and a pretty nice one holding cow skull.
This day was the best day of the whole trek and you'll find out in a moment.
The next day we had a bit of rain and went past a bit of snow patches and it was nice .The fun part was pretty nice. I almost losing my glasses in the middle also had a part to play in the trek. Now is the best part. We stop for lunch. Everyone takes there Tiffin boxes outside. The scene completely changes with pitch black atmosphere all round. The guide, who was responsible for us, told us take cover since there was a storm coming by. We sit with our backs against the storm. Suddenly snow appears out of the blue. After a while hail pieces turns up. We take cover near the bushes. After a while of getting our senses back together, the guide tells us the storm is far away from finish and we will have to walk through it. We start moving cautiously. We start having snow on the way. With the hail and snow coming heavily on us, we see people slipping down. We move even more cautiously. Most of the weaker gender start breaking up and saying ' No, we can't do' and the line repeated almost every where with a little modification here and there. Then people like me and myself came to the rescue, guided the people through the whole journey. Unfortunately carried their rucksack’s (trekking gear) and completely exhausted, reached the pit stop with absolutely no power left. The scene turned worse with four of the tents had been brought down. I must say a big thanks to the YHAI people who were quite ready for this type of situation and quite prepared. They made two big camp fires and along with that they brought in hot soups and tea to cool us down. They even managed to bring up 2 of the fallen tents up. The day was pretty drastic with the ladies fully psyched out and all of them still crying. The day ended pretty early cause the next day we had to start of by 4.00 am just to miss out on the sun rising. That's cause if we travel with the sun up, the snow would have melted and it would be very slippery.
The next day, I led the way because I was sure that if yesterday's situation happened again then I would never have completed. So why take tension, lead the way. The snow was beautiful. Another reason I like it was because it was beautiful. That’s it. We passed 75% of our way pretty easily with me slipping around here and there. But the last part was horrible. We had to climb a steep mountain and wait there. Man it was exhausting. I reached up and slept there just like that. People woke me up just for the reason that I might lose balance during sleep and trip of the mountain. The next part was awesome. We come down the steep mountain sliding. Damn! That was cool. With that speed and that velocity. It was better than the wildest rides in the best water park. We then continued our trek with me sleeping half the time. The rest of the trek was pretty sad just for the reason that all fun just got over. We had a few cricket matches in the last trek with some koko game also and story telling time also in the middle but leaving that it was not that great.
All n all I would say
'I Enjoyed the trek'

Whats the difference between telling a story and scripting a story?
I am in this calamity as to what is the difference between narrating a story and scriptting one.
I really want to know because in the last two stories I had the intention to narrate the story rather than scripting it and I pretty much scrippted it only.

A Choice To Be Made
Well this is a story based on the poem 'Road not taken' by Robert Frost. It actually touched me a lot because I also had to make a decision between two courses and I have taken the course less taken, so I hope I have made the right choice.
The sun is setting and the orange sky is been prettily shown. A person named Mike is with his backpack and his gear along with his camera exploring in a forest. Suddenly he comes to fork which divides his path into 2 different ways. He stands silently glancing on both these roads. He looks deeps until he finds a bent in his first option, grabs his camera and starts taking some photos of that road. He then glances down his second option and takes some photos of this road also. He is more satisfied with his second option just for the reason of seeing a lot of scatted dry leaves and that to in lump. It makes him think that the second option is not been used mostly and since he's explorer it would be a better option.
The sun sets during this time and its pitch black. He camps there, on that fork for the night.
Next day he gets up pretty early to analyze both his options. He analyses them both and again takes some photo using his camera. He comes to a conclusion to take the second option because of the feeling that it might more adventurous. He then takes a look at his digital display in his camera. We zoom to the digital display and when it zooms out we see that a grandfather (Mike), who is very prosperous in life, is showing his grandchildren the photos. He keeps murmuring the 'road less taken had made all the difference'. We again show the photos and we zoom into the camera and the photo becomes alive, we see Mike walking down the path. Credits Roll Out.

THe 3000 Meters
It all starts of on bright sunny day. The atheltes are waiting for their fun marathon to start. All are warming and then the screen goes black and white and except for this special girl. Suddenly, the starter whistles stating the commencement of the race. The girl is followed through out the race. Through out the race untill the 2000 meters she is pretty normal and constantly at the 4th or 5th position.During the last 1000 meters, her face changes drastically. She becomes more pale. She show more urgency. She starts sprinting, still with the same face but changing still more drastically. She suddenly crops up to the 2nd position in the with the last 600 meters to go. Takes the lead within the next 50 meters. The face still changes drastically, and she become more aggrsive to reach the finish line. She sprintsd faster than a 100 meters race. Her face starts showing anger sign as to where is the finish line. She sprints even more fastr. She turns up near the finish line.Succesfully completes the race but she's still sprinting. She grabs her trophy and is still sprinting. She then gets to the nearest hotel. Bangs in through the hall of the hotel. Searches for the nearest ladies toilet. Bangs that door the door open. And still on the commode with the trophy on her lap and she's admiring it.Credit Roll Out.The End
Long Time No Blog
It's been a long time since I have blogged. Its very hectic things that I am going around and doing my stuff. Well I'm in a production group which is in a process of doing a Pixelated Movie and then I am practicing daily more than 100 Gesture Drawing, trying to improve to detailed drawing but attempts made were unsuccessful , am still trying, then doing story boards for a small script which I will be blogging later. Other than that, I've had pretty unusual spree of losing stuff. First I almost lost my I Pod, and then completely lost my wallet, and then my cell Phone, and then now I almost lost my keys. God knows, cause I always try to be careful and the more careful I try , I screw up.
Another Thing is that, I always want to be felt wanted and now days nothing like that is happening. To just feel wanted, I voluntarily went to help one of the production team to shoot some scenes and I ended up messing up their whole project. Seriously, I don’t get it. I just feel that I am unwanted. Why?
Another thing is that my house which is still under construction doesn’t have continuous electricity and they haven’t finished the work at my home. So I am bit lot pissed.
So live and let Live.

The afterMath Of WaRs
The inspiration for this movie is from the poem 'survivors' because I like how the poem revolved around the aftermath of wars.
It would start of with full fledged dance and party for the occasion of the war won by that place. Then the focus would be on a group of soldiers (the only soldiers present there). These soldiers are sad, petrified, by the aftermath of the war, but still are just acting like they are having fun. Then scene zooms into one of the soldier’s eyes whose name is Mark in which it would show a war scene where an enemy shoots and it just passes by Mark’s ears and hits another soldier who was the best friend of Mark. Then the scene goes in slow motion ,the friend dying. The scene zooms in to the dying friends eyes, in which we see all red blooded, fun filled, full of life just waiting to sign up for being a soldier. This is because they are proud to represent their country in a war. We then see that Mark and his dying friend (at that time) posing with full joy for a picture just taken for remembrance. Suddenly the scene zooms out and we see the eye lids of the dying soldier closing and Mark, who is shocked, burst out all the bullets he's got, kills the enemy, runs to his dead friend, grabs him before he falls and holds him on his knees .He blinks. When he closes his eye lid for blinking, the scene changes from the war back drop to the group of soldiers in the party and then finally to the whole party. Credits Roll Out.

Hectic Time going on...
Hey there ,
Its been a very hectic and very busy time for me. Lot of home work like creating a story board for a story, doing 300 sketches, doing 3 object studies, writing essays and a lot of other stuff also. In the middle of all of this there was a college activity day and i participated in the it for gaming and we luckily won. Another thing is that there is no stable current in my house. It goes around 8 in morning and is put back at 6.30 in the evening. So right now in my life there's a lot of happiness and sadness.
Its like how they say...
Everything is fair in love and war

The ComeBack
Well. It's been a long time since I posted a blog.
Anyways college life is good. We watch movies daily which is quite boring because we see only olden historic movies(If it were new then I would die to watch them). And the rest of the time we scribble our whole time. Its quite fun.
About two week back we made Optical Toys. They are instruments that were used in olden times to animate. There are different types of them and we made a Phenakistoscope and a Tharmatrope. Pretty interesting stuff and very exticiting to do as it just feels like recreating history. Nothing much has been happening since then .Will keep updating as regular as possible
