Woa.... Lots Happening now!!

By the time I got to the first year of college, I already planned the direction of my career and was on the verge of choosing where to start. Pretty much on the first week of college, I joined the on campus newspaper Nux, and began doing design work for them. I guess I did feel rather inclined to offer more than that, so I opted to start comic section.

Drawing purely from motivation, and strong spiritual influence, I called it Salvation.

Suddenly I found myself sitting with something that I never really thought I had. A new dream- film animation!! Ah, just last year and already so much has happened. With many mistakes along the way and loads of procrastination, apart from God, my biggest motivation now had to be the reality-I needed money. So making up my mind, I decided to open up a little business venture. Shooting events on film for people! Got myself a camcorder, a few nifty pc/ windows based applications and soon realised how much one could actually do with a camera! Art-wise however, and through colleagues and the classes I had joined, the most valuable lesson I learnt was never compare yourself to anyone. This came about with the idea of how most people never really like to get out of their comfort zones and in a way get too comfortable with their skill.. "I'm good" or "I think that mine does look better than yours".

Although my colleagues were mostly producing work that was mandatory for the class, I understood that being around folks who are better than you ,can in most cases, very positively effect your learning of new ways to do things- All it takes is willingness to see this.

Towards the latter of 2006, I received a scholarship to Japan(my biggest highlight to date) which marked the turning point in my perspective.

I still think that one of the most enriching experiences thus far is being around different people-

you just learn SO MUCH!
