Save Our Tigers
// February 21st, 2010 // 1 Comment » // I Beleive ...
Recently, I had the opportunity of taking my 2 year old son to Bannerghatta National Park on the outskirts of Bangalore. We had taken the Grand Safari and had been fortunate to see /show him three tigers and a white tiger. The recent spate of messages and the campaign in the media supported by Aircel was shocking and an eye-opener. For our National Animal to be on the verge of non-existence is really heart breaking. Hence, I have thrown in my support to Save Our Tigers. Please do visit http://www.saveourtigers.com/WhatCanDo.php to understand your contribution to this campaign. Please find a very tearful video too below this post. So, c’mon in all- Let’s do our little bit to save our Tiger!!!
Social Entrepreneurs – Creating a Value System in Education
// February 21st, 2010 // No Comments » // Entrepreneurs - Difference Makers
This column is a tribute to the Real Entrepreneurs – as per wikipedia, an entrepreneur is a person who has possession of a new enterprise, venture or idea and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the ou
tcome. For Babar Ali, aged 17, this definition means service to a whole society who does not have the basic access to good education. Entrepreneurship does not mean money or profit to him; it just means sharing whatever knowledge gained.
Knowledge shared is knowledge earned – this, in the modern era, does not mean much, But when we stumble upon people( or should I say angel) like Babar, we do realise that this quote does mean a lot even now.
When I dug further for Babar Ali in Google, I found the following. Babar Ali has been touching childrens’ life through his school Ananda Shiksha Niketan in Gangapur village in Murshidabad district since 2002. Since then, he has been teaching free children from migrant labourers, bidi workers and weavers who are extremely poor to afford formal education. He started the school when he was nine along with attending formal education. Today Ananda Shiksha Niketan has 800 students, even more than most formal schools.
The state government has recognised the school and promised to extend all necessary cooperation. A blackboard was installed in 2005, and a shed added last year to provide shelter from the rains. But for Ali, his dream is to make it autonomous. For him, this would break the way of working currently and would defeat “the principles on which the school is built”
Reading about Babar Ali makes one proud of this Real Hero – whose passion in life is Education for All. Salute You!

Color Purple
// October 16th, 2009 // No Comments » // Uncategorized
Color Purple connotes Royalty, Nobility, Spirituality, Innovation and Imagination.
Color Purple is considered royal probably because they are found so rare in nature
In ancient times, purple dye was produced from mollusk shells, which took 12,000 shells to extract 1.5 gram of dye.
For me, even as a child, color purple meant Cadbury 
.
Even logos are so rare in color purple. I have been trying to gather some good logos in purple and all I could retrieve was –
What is Texture and Pattern
// October 14th, 2009 // No Comments » // Resources
Texture: Look and feel of a surface. Example – Wooden, wool, leather surface.
Pattern: A small single tile of design, which is repeated on the web page, mainly used for backgrounds.
Textures and Patterns are extensively used by web designers to bring in a professional look to their websites. Largely used in blog, casual and personal websites. Textures and Patterns can never go ignored as they play a huge role to enhance the website theme, look and feel.
Below is a screenshot of textures I photographed and Patterns I created. If you like them and would want to download the same please visit http://www.imajine.in/patterns.aspx.
