Hardcore Rhymer
My darling philanderer
Why dost thou melt through the day?
Squeeze your vitality away?
When you could swing in a hammock at night
And do your work just right.
Sleep the smouldering noon.
Dictate to your secretary
Under the ice-cream moon
And let the photocopier, fax M and scanner whirr away
With undeterred junoon.
Why do what the ice-agers did?
Isn’t it time you flipped it?
夏
Turn up the pleasure of vanilla ice-cream by sprinkling cinnamon powder over it.
How the NIFT situation test workshop went
For complete NIFT info click here.
The total duration of my NIFT Situation Test workshop, held in April 09 was 5 hours.
(1 hour of tips and hand-outs with examples + 2 hours of model making + 2 hours of comparative feedback and suggestions)
I saw that most students missed out on giving themselves a theme despite of repeated reminders. And many didn’t leave time to do the write-up at all.
Topics I gave: Table lamp and Fashion show ramp
Here is what some of the candidates did –
The hooded lamp
+ve clearly designed for the study-table
+ve Integrity in design – all surfaces were triangular
+ve two light sources for yellow n white light
+ve neat and strurdy
+ve Very good intersection of planes for a complex 3D level in design
+ve multi-functionalty – pen holder between the two lights
+ve good use of materials
-ve No write-up

‘The boy who tamed a Bullet’
The girl who pulled out the Knife
The Indian who souled an Eagle
The babbler who spew forth Fear
The baby who spoke to the Dark
The yawn that opened a Cave
The silence that waged a War
The nail that struck the Hammer

Inner peace Inner Peace
Your precious inner peace
Every piece of your inner peace
May it rest at ease
If I shatter it
Splatter and smatter it
Then pardon me
For fucking your inner peace
Your pre.shee.yus precocious inner peace
