Rains, Mountain, Winds, Clouds & Sarah

Its been really long time I posted anything. Really running outta time now..
especially there's no time for blogging when you have enough faith in
personal interactions. But taking out some of my usually invaluable time..

This is what rocked my weekend this time. A mansoon trek with a specical guest and
few of the colleages cum friends. We went to see Bhaje caves and Lohgad near
Lonavala with our Guest Sarah on the day when Sun had bad times with clouds.
Although it was my easiest trek so far, it was one of the most enjoyed one.
And really worth mentioning fact that I didn't fall for a single time ;-).

There was a hard time when we had to hold each other against the awefully
strong and slapping wind and that too when we three, only three, Ankit, me and
Maku were on the edgemost point of the mountain, and nobody could see us
due to clouds between, a real deadend.

There is lot more to talk on this and few really good moments that came along
with Sarah.. I wish she comes back soon.., but forgive me for
the time thats dropping out of my palm like sand..

Let the details be some other time. For the time being, enjoy the pics..

  3. New to blogging. So do not know how to reply directly to a comment and hence putting my reply here....

    Thanks for the criticism. Criticisms are always welcome and will be dealt with. I myself was looking for the alternative for 'rya'.. This was a makeshift arrangement till then.

    Somehow firefox is not able to show it properly, as it shows in my editor (www.yudit.org). I am using Devanagari phonetic and not inscript. But I made a copy of that specific letter and paste it whenever required.

    Also since my Marathi writing had a big break of 6-7 long years, there will be mistakes in spelling things out. It would be great if you could point them out. This way I can surely improve.

    Accepting mistakes is always good as it paves way to being correct, something which is so important in a scientific life.

    Thanks once again and do keep posting...

    Amrita.

Unicode 5.1 release and Indic changes

Unicode 5.1 release was announced earlier this month on 4th April. Here I have put a diff taken of Unicode 5.1 character database against that of Unicode 5.0. My buddy, Parag also did a nice job of summarizing the Indic specific changes, that I am trying to restate now. So, here go the updates on Indian scripts UCD: A. New Indic Scripts Added to Unicode: 1. LEPCHA: Lepcha is a language spoken by the Lepcha people in Sikkim in India,and parts of Nepal and Bhutan. The Lepcha script (also known as "róng") is a syllabic script which has a lot of special marks and requires ligatures. Its genealogy is unclear. Early Lepcha manuscripts were written vertically, a sign of Chinese influence. Lepcha is considered to be one of the aboriginal languages of the area in which it is spoken. Total number of speakers numbers near 50,000. Unicode Range =>U1C00 to U1C4F Chart URL => http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1C00.pdf 2. OL-CHIKI: The Ol Chiki script, also known

PVR is so wierd!

Yesterday we went second time to a mall bit far from office to complete the earlier failed mission of watching this 3D movie, Clash of the Titans. On ticket counter, we were first told that evening show was house full. Then we asked for a night show, and were told there isn't any show then and the gentleman handed us the pamphlet of all movie schedules. We checked on the nearby digital kiosk and also on the printed schedule to be sure of the show timings. Then went to second counter, and asked the lady for the night show tickets, and without any problem got the tickets for back seats. In fact this show was hardly 20% full, wonder how the evening show became houseful. But the biggest wonder/blunder is yet to come. On the entrance we were stopped for having a laptop bag along with (we had went straight after the office). In spite of having checked the bag, we were not allowed, because laptops were not allowed inside! Then we asked for keeping it at the baggage counter. But then, the

The Kreate logo is done!

It's been several months now that we have been brainstorming about the logo and caption. We all were thinking on lines of both creativity and value offerings. Gautam was continuously thinking on lines of how to communicate imagination and implementation parts simultaneously, the left and right of the brain. Many tag-lines popped up, but always there was something missing. Finally, me and joy took up these two words from Gautam and simply put a dot between them. It sounded so crisp! 'Imagination.Implementation'! Meanwhile, many of us were trying to come up with the design ideas. For me, playing with various shapes of 'K' and using whatever minuscule knowledge of calligraphy/typography I had, became my regular pass-time to keep myself awake in gaseous classrooms. In later stages, I got stuck on the idea of creating a character out of K that can personify the values we worked on so long. Finally emerged the k-man that is so carefree, cheerful, and aesthetic. Joy took t
