'Gurukul' published..

Quite Exciting ! I managed to bring out a good design and theme for the latest version of e-magazine for trainees of Infy, Mysore.
The theme of cricket struck my mind since cricket world cup was going to be watched closely by all and anything related to cricket would spark attention. The best thing about this theme was the crickety names i found for the links.. like 'Pavillion' for homepage, 'Bouncers' for campus pulse, 'Outswing' for articles&poems, 'Straight drive' for trainee interviews, 'Captaincy' for management interview,'Gallery' for sketches&photos,'Howzzaat' for quiz, 'First Innings' for archives, 'Dressing Room' for gurukul team...

Apocalypto - truely 'raw'


"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within."
This Mel Gibson movie is about ancient Mayan civilization depicted as highly barbaric and violent, which ultimately leads to its decline.
Truely speaking, one would feel emabarassed by various scenes in the movie including violent looting of villages by tribal attackers, rituals of cutting off heads and raw blood spatting violence.
The movie runs behind the hero 'Jaguar Paw' who tries to escape from the killing hands of attackers to save his family and to regain back his hunting grounds of forest.
