I don't know how many people have written about this but I am sure most of us have heard Manoj Kumar movie songs on 15th August or 26th January. It is hard for me to celebrate Independence Day without these songs. I have fond memories of growing up hearing these songs in my school days. When you are a kid feel for country and respect for its freedom fighter is high. I used to get goose bumps listening these songs. Those were the days of VCR and VHS tapes. Usually on such occasions our school used to run these patriotic movies on VCP (video player). I remember watching Manoj Kumar's Upkar and Purab aur Paschhim  it had a lasting impression on me for days the images form the films used to re-run into my head.   Manoj Kumar aka Bharat Kumar had spread the feel for the nation and ideals. In those days I was unaware that it's not Manoj who is singing but it is Mahendra Kapoor who is doing the task.  Mahendra Kapoor's voice perfectly matched Manoj Kumar's ima...

I had seen Marcos Oliveira's Scientific Illustration about a year ago in a feature by behance called : illustrationserved. I was impressed by his subtle and soft colors and seeing him working on location with his sketchbook and watercolors. I had thought about sharing his work through the blog post. I bookmarked the site and forgot about it.(this is a habit, I keep bookmarking a lot of stuff but hardly go back to see my bookmarked list) any way here I am writing about it. good things always, stick some where at your back of mind. I wanted know more about Marcos Oliveira and googled for it. The first thing which appears in the search is a professional mixed martial artist from Brazil of the same name. Then I found his blog   according to profile description :  He is from Lisbon, Portugal. Born in 1967 at Santa Maria da Feira "Professional illustrator since 1994, specializing in scientific illustration, biological and archaeological as well as ...

It was a pleasant piece of information I chanced upon. I was surfing the net for some visual research on "Art style and Games". There I came across a game called " a Little Turbulence " which reminded me a mobile game I was working on and was left unfinished due to fund crunch. I felt a little bad because the game had the potential, if given the right push could have been a good play. I moved on. almost forgot about it and was busy in new work environment, a different kind of set up. I could not keep the discovery of  ALT with me, I shared the link with my previous boss. The surprise was from him, he sent me mail about the publishing of the game on both platforms iPhone and Android. Though the game they published is not polished, the fact is they got it out and the story is exciting. and I like the music they have done. there was only a generic loop in demo version with place holder noise effects. here is the Game summary: The Cloud Catcher mobile game...
