Svishnuu - THE WAY I SEE IT

comfort

there’s nothing wrong with choosing a comfortable life over a difficult one, as long as at each reevaluation and reflection you can truthfully say, “there’s nowhere better I could be than where I stand today”

I’m going for the second one tonight

ASTRO PHOTO

A peek into the sky.

Just used my DLSR and some tweaks (no cheating, meaning no Photohop filters)

Color in this photo is used to highlight interesting features of the celestial object being seen. It is added to the separate black-and-white exposures that are combined to make the final image.

Filters allow variety of wavelengths of light to be visible to our eye. Since the cameras can detect light outside the visible light spectrum, the use of filters allows scientists to study "invisible" features of objects — those only visible in ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths.

by the way, the only way to see stars from New York City is by using a DSLR/telescope

calligraphy, calligraphy, and style

Ever wondered why some papers are so delightful to read? Well, there are many types of writing formats. Textbook style, MLA, APA, etc. The other type is calligraphy or painting. Style is the first impression that imprints in a reader’s mind, regardless of your content. It’s what lights the page and draws readers—it’s what earns their delight, and their tears, and their smiles, and their enlightenment (hopefully). I am not an expert writer, but I believe good style depends on simplicity. Furthermore, writing is not about having sentences filled with thesaurus. You must make simple sentences seem more interesting. Simple things - like “Impeccable sketching” instead of  “Nice drawing” - will make a long lasting impression. I believe, writing verbs should be used often than adjectives. Reducing alliteration and improving word choices always trumps your phrases. I have always wondered why some writings are more vibrant than others. For instance, Apple is the only operating system - as far as I know - with the most vivid combinations of fonts (calligraphy). Every text Apple writes is visually appealing. I had a sense of revelation when I realized how varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, and varying the intensities within the letter ultimately made a huge difference.

In context to grammar, I care about how it contributes to the structure, the flow, the tone, the meaning of the passage.  Naming grammar terms isn’t interesting.  Analyzing them is. Because calligraphy is never simply about fonts—they are about everything you want the reader to visualize. Beautiful typography is what that makes your writings distinct. It ultimately becomes beautiful, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture.

WHY!

It is one of the technically (script vice) robust movie I've ever seen. Nolan construed it impeccably
