Dream on girl

Dream on girl, Dream on girl
I want to see you sleep tonight
You're up and down
You hit the ground
And time is drifting through your fears
I can find your dreams tonight
And make your lover come back home
If you don't know, you are on your own
I'll choose the best place for you to sleep
Come back to see the day you lost your heart
And all your hopes
I'll take you to see the sunrise and try to catch your ghost
Come on girl, a dream is your world
The signs you see are in your mind
The words that you speak are here in my ear
So I can hear you falling down
Take a breath to see me
I can wait for you to
Live a life with no hopes but
If you still believe…
Come back to see the day you lost your heart
And all your hopes
I'll take you to see the sunrise and try to catch your ghost
Come back to see the day you lost your heart
And all your hopes

Women in dunes

Woman in the Dunes is a novel by Kōbō Abe and a film based on the novel directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara. The novel was published in 1962 and the film was released in 1964. Kōbō Abe also wrote the screenplay for the film version.



The imagery of movie is very graphical so I tried same with the poster too. Whenever I do a film poster I tried to remember the first visual that comes into my mind that captures me when I was watching that movie, the scene where I find different layers of meaning. Then I tried to represent it in most simplified way. I usually like very less elements in posters but still with layers of meaning . I am always in search of that one image that can represent the whole movie. I want my posters to be incomplete for those who hasn't seen the movie. They are complete when the person sees the movie, then again comes and looks at poster.
Here I am showing an imagery from the movie where the women is naked and her body is covered with sand grain.The imagery represent both the women and the desert where the man find himself lost . I used the charcoal texture to bring the sand texture in her body. The dominant tone of film is black which I wanted to maintain in the poster too.

A Soviet Poster a day


As it is the truth that bellows at river Don,And it can be heard on Volga too.In Africa the truth is rumbling.The “Lies Machine Gun” fires in vain.
Every soviet poster no matter the date of creation bears a stamp of expressiveness and graphical quality. The attention to details is awesome. The scope of techniques is endless. Soviet posters are a treasure chest with inspiration for any graphical designer, not to mention the seeing pleasure itself. And what’s important, every Soviet Poster has a historical reference essential for understanding the layers of meanings it carries through time. http://sovietposter.blogspot.com/

It is so interesting to discover visuals that has become a peep hole into history.

MYLAPORE ( Town of Peacocks)

The place got the name from the Sanskrit word 'Mayur Puri', which was once the name of Mylapore. From the Tamil, word Mailapur (town of peacocks). At Mylapore, Parvati is believed to have taken the form of 'Mayuram' or 'Mayil' (peacock). It was here that St Thomas, the first apostle to India, was martyred on July 3, 72 AD while praying in a mountain cave. His tomb and church are also here.

Kapaleeswarar Temple and Santhome church

Kapaleeswarar Temple, located at the southern part of Katcheri Road in south Mylapore, is a holy relic dating back to 1250. Though the temple could have been built much later, it has inscriptions from the 13th century, which could have originally belonged to the earlier shore temple destroyed by Portuguese invaders where now the Santhome church is located.

The myth says that Parvati asked Siva to explain the meaning of the word "OM". As the Siva started to explain the whole world came to listen it from Siva. The gods, saints, birds, animals and everyliving living creature came to listen him. In the crowd there was a peacock too. As Siva was explaning the peacock got excited and his feathers began to open. Fearing that his feathers might disturb others he asked nearby sitting Parvati to help him to close his feathers. Parvati was happy to see the beautiful creature and she started to help peacock. When Siva found out that she is not listening to her he got angry and cursed Parvati to become peacock and live in earth. She came to earth and lived as peacock and worshipped Siva for years. And at last Siva got sympathtic towards Parvati and he called her back to Kilasa and asked her to wish a boon. She asked that who ever comes to worship me shall have his/her wish come true. Mylapore is the place where Parvati lived as peacock. Kaplaesware temple is one of the Siva temple where Goddess is worshipped first.

The architecture is an example of ancient Dravidian style, with typical side entrances, gopurams, courts and a tank built around the central shrine. The 37 m tall gopuram (pillar) is carved with stucco gods, goddesses, and saints. The bronze statues of 63 Shaivite saints adorn the temple courtyard. The courtyard also has a Punnai tree, one of the oldest trees in Chennai. The tree has a small shrine that depicts the legend that gave Mylapore its name.

Near by there is a tank which is full now. The tank was best seen during the Theppam or float festival every January when lighted lamps would be set afloat on the water. Tank is living space for thousands of Catfish and you can find people feeding them. All sundays the tanks is opened for people to feed the fish . Tank is said to be donated by two nawabs.

Streets near to Kaplaleswer temple are full of small shops where you get handicrafts and stuff for temple worship. And I guess you get all most all stuff for daily use.
