Lillie McFerrin Writes
In the hot summer of June the gods in a General council decided to send an angel to the mother on earth, that has been praying constantly on her knees in each holy festival in pristine land of India leaving no stone unturned to have a boy-child as; the newly wed woman is threatened by the proposition of a divorce. Her prayers are independent of expectations, as her boundless faith in god and perpetual belief helps the unappreciated damsel, go on and on. It was the father who wanted a girl one won't believe and mother wished a boy, but the overlords' decision after rigorous discussion in addition to the results of the advisory survey of Upper Clouds and Lower clouds junta of God's world decided to grant a boy as there was a dearth of girls in the store due to high export arising from increased demand in China. Birth of a girl means confirmed payment to the family thus forcing each clan in every society there to pray day-night for at least one girl as having a boy would mean nights filled with hunger and despair. Birthing and grants as we see is a steady business of the almighty albeit, involvement of truth, justice and merit are major principles that uphold their sanctity.

Glasshouse of My Dreams

I am a human being. I need to prove it day and night. As a human being I have to caricature the values of the people around me. To be human is to be a part of a tribe. A tribe with norms and positions with a role. I did not choose a lot of things in life. My mother, my father, my brother, my sister. Even my wife wasn’t chosen by me. I am a passive person true to Shakespearean quote, “ we are but actors in a play, acting the roles”. I have thought sometimes, who is the playright ? My mother told me it was the god who made the stage, wrote the script and directed us all. As long as we did good to our loved ones, played by the rules of the society and did good karma I will one day get off the stage and sit peacefully at the end of my life.  I had accepted all of it with humility. It is a hereditary trait in my tribe. My ilk and kith rely on the buttons that are programmed since ages. To listen and do no evil. Yes sir, no sir, jee huzoor, hanji maalik, in my mouth rings all these monik...

Demons and Dungeons : A Framework to Learn In Teams

-
I have been called many things in my life. Team player is not one of them. It is not as if I have worked in many teams, or many teams have chosen me to work with them. I am the kid who was left out from the group formation as a kid in middle-school standard. Imagine the isolation. Recently, Aparna Piramal Raje, who is also my professor, quoted : Dare to stand alone,  Dare to make yourself grow, Dare to find your purpose, Dare to make it known.  Imagine, I have been doing it since I was a kid. The presence of a group can seem less fortunate sometimes than presence of lone Sysiphious warrior. Although now, it is difficult in a hyper-globalized world. I am learning the art of group management and negotiation, treading Moore's law every second. Since years, when I started volunteering. In the past few months I have been found fortunate opportunity with Anant Fellowship. I am a part of team with four more people. We have frequent conversations on Google meet. We have weekly interac...

Learning Design Writing at Anant Fellowship

What is Design? This is the first question that can be asked of a design student. Some would say, it gives me pleasure, the beauty that she feels. Others chime in, the sensory input that brings a spectrum of colors to her existence is how design spoke to her. Yes, but that is an outcome of design, good or bad, what is design, really? Design, is the product of human imagination, animals and plants can’t see and imagine, human ingenuity in art is to identify what ails our civilization. Design writing helps understand the logic prescient in that modelling of facts that were, yet unknown to us in the output. Design writing can sound frivolous to the mainstream. Why go into nuance of something that was, use it and do your thing. Each pin or cell phone holds a design, therefore generation of imagination. More complexity brings more mysteries. The fact itself is the problem, often. An engineer can fix nuts and bolts, a politician will fund the industry, and the designer will build the world...
