I chilled on one of those park benches after my 30-minute jogging stint this morning. While deeply inhaling the nippy, clean air to cool down the palpitating system, I watched other souls get their bit from the track. Somewhere, this five-minute interlude stimulates some sort of reflection on things. And, this morning was no different.... Continue Reading →
Neanderthals, the extinct species of our early human ancestors, populated the Earth for about 400,000 years... only to disappear around 30 to 40,000 years ago. How come the powerfully built brutes who successfully survived even the harshest conditions of ice-age disappear so quickly and suddenly? Various intriguing theories abound, on reasons that could've triggered their... Continue Reading →
RESUMING FROM WRITERS’ EVOLUTION INTO SCRIPTING FOR VIRTUAL REALITY – PART 2 "Soooo funny!" "Oh, yeah... you bet! Both of us were watching the same movie yesterday. But, both of us ended up watching different movies!" "We're laughing hard but yeah... seriously it was spooky. How can that be?" "They say something like invisible interaction.... Continue Reading →
RESUMING FROM WRITERS’ EVOLUTION INTO SCRIPTING FOR VIRTUAL REALITY – PART 1 In the virtual reality frame I set up, what are the objects that could possibly catch the attention of this eye?

Uncanny because words are words at the end of the day... they should deliver the same effect irrespective of who uses them... but, why's it... Continue Reading →
Oh! That interesting bundle of virtues and vices... how so inextricably it's tied to our persona that it's become very much an essential part of us. No wonder then that we're a microcosm unto ourselves - with those proud sparkles of glow interspersed with long eclipsed alleys of blackness. Take a U-turn! Ha! How inviting... Continue Reading →
Virtual elements are fast catching up with the real-world elements... on a supplementary note, that is. They get us environments (and get us into environments) that we don't have access to in real life. These enhanced realities are predicted to be THE future of learning because, by their sheer technological and visual excellence, they offer... Continue Reading →
Because, more often than not, things do go out of control... they don't always stick to the course we've fore-planned. It's not to say we've been haphazard in our course of action. We've been thorough in our analysis of the context... we brainstorm all possible solutions... we make an informed decision on the most appropriate... Continue Reading →
After a 'weekend-long picnic' outing, Tom and Dan are back in the office. While waiting for the lift, Tom declares, "Not much of work! Looks like a pretty easy week for me. Chill for you too?" TOM WANTING IN HIS INTRINSIC MOTIVATION. Dan smiles, "Nope. Packed!" Getting to his seat, Dan rushes through his day's... Continue Reading →
