Mr.Nosy Parker

"It's Ringing ."
"Pick it up ."
"It could be important ."
How many times have you heard that ? 

It's a nuisance .I've nicknamed it Nosy Parker .It is ill mannered,it interrupts whenever it wants to - like the middle of the night . It gets out of control yet people don't put a leash on it . 
It creeps up whenever it wants to ,anytime and anywhere. Talk about stalking- it's a pro at that . It scares the hell out of you when it comes up unexpectedly at your door . If you refuse to entertain it ,it pesters you .
The word privacy is not in its dictionary .It doesn't understand that people may like solitude and their space.

Imagine yourself at a theater,seated in a perfectly silent auditorium , engrossed in the most powerful performances being delivered by your favorite actors, at the edge of your seat ,waiting for the suspense to unfold ... 
and suddenly it starts ringing! 

It breaks the spell and the momentum . Hateful, vile, inexcusable.Not only does this inconsiderate object ruin that exciting moment ,you end up becoming the cynosure of accusing glances and raised eyebrows.
You curse yourself for not putting a leash on it . 

Well ,good or bad ,the cell phone has become an essential part of our life. Love it or hate it ,we just have to put up with it .Right ? 
Oh ! By the way ,my cell phone is ringing and I have to go...

Worth a look .  These figures come from the “Lavazza Fairy Tales”. The announcement was made in animation by using stopmotion technique. It is installed in a paper city. Buildings are made three-dimensional and the characters are bi-dimensional. In order to make the publicity, more than one thousand paper shapes were used, and each of them has a different movement. The shapes were drawn, at the beginning, at hand and then, modifi ed in the post-production and afterwards, in the end, cut with a cut laser printer. Houses are made in shapes of polystyrene cubes covered by thin cardboard sheets. Don't miss the intricat...

A ball of confusion

                                                                                               Earth from the view point of a Martian ( if he exists) If we isolate ourselves from Earth , getting away some distance from our world ,it would help us focus our attention on what it is otherwise too obvious to notice while we stay on it . To see what we may be really like it will help if  we  put ourselves into the  shoes of a "Martian," if he happens to wear such an invention of the earth in the first place  .  So what do Martians see of Planet Earth ? What they see today is a population of over six billion people crawling out from every nook and corner like caterpillars . Now ,almost all of  this six billion devote a signific...
