3d in your home computer, the possibilities, challenges and my experiences till now

3d is well,... interesting..., but something one can live without, thats the feeling I found among us in Nepal. We watch all those sci-fi movies and say wowww... kya dami animation, but do we care how they do that??? or a Nepalese movie with some 3d effects perhaps in the near future??? Well... 3d is not one thing, its a combination of many things, and one person making the whole sci-fi movie is almost impossible. I am not telling how they make those movies in the session, cuz of course I haven't made any,... but create an enthusiasm and share the experience I had as a 3d modeller in an architecture firm. I hope you guys will find it interesting, and I'd encourage especially the architecture students to attend, cuz they are the most likely to use 3d professionally right now. Well then, see u guys at BarCamp :).

Influenced to Photography!!!

2011-07-27T23:27:00.002+05:30

Today , my day should be called as "Photographer Rakesh's Day "....My amateurism in photography has made my day so interesting. I tried to utilize my Sony Dsc w310 to its best taking some random pictures around me and my room. As well i tried to retouch the photos taken today and yesterday with default windows picture editors. All i need was to publish it, and i found the web site Flickr.com to pour my efforts.
Myriads of mood within a moment, I used to say...and its the proof that today was my mood of photography and that is because "i am influenced to Photography!!".

Made today with Vue, from the fxphd course.

Walk animation

2011-07-01T20:26:00.003+05:30

Animation I made with some walking people. Whats so great about it???
Well computer graphics(cg) lights don't bounce around like the real world light does, for example in daytime, even though theres no direct light in the room, it is still well lit due to the bouncing of light, if we put a cg light as light source in 3d scene then there will be no bouncing of light. To make the light bounce, a process called global illumintaion is used, which traces the light even after it hits the object. The problem is, to trace every single light path and its bounces is very cpu intensive. So, the rendering programs usually use iterative methods, so that the lighting is not 100% accurate but when watching in single frame we don't notice the difference. The problem comes in animation when rendering multiple frames, there is differnce in renderings of consecutive frames which is easily picked up by eye. Further when theres moving objects in scene, the gi method is very problematic. Long thing cut short, I finally found a method to render with gi without flickering, and just testing out with these renderings :).

Major Breakthrough :D

2011-06-30T13:55:00.004+05:30

Using Global illumination in animations always brings trouble with the flickering, the problem with moving objects in animation and very long render times are always a problem. I found a good tutorial http://www.mintviz.com/blog/flicker-free-animation-using-vray/ and did some testing, I don't know if it works all the time but it did work, so am happy :D. Now I want to test a real scene :). Heres my animation...

What I know about 3d :)

2011-06-17T17:38:00.001+05:30

Well, first off let meh show the latest pic I did in 3ds max.

How is it??? hehe… well… I created it, that’s the feeling you get when you 3d. Is it easy??? It is easy, if you know what to do that is , did I did it from scratch??? Nooo… I could, but I’d take meh a year instead of about 2 weeks I spent in this . 2 weeks well spent for meh I gues, duno what others will say .

Interest is a weird thing, I can stay up all night just doing this kind of stuff, and when it comes to reading my coursebooks, I haven’t touched them for some time now . Its just crazy, isn’t it? I don’t get paid, I am not stydying my course topics, I rarely leave outside of my room, my room is a mess, and yet I am pretty happy looking at this picture . There are some flaws in the picture, did you notice it??? well I notice it .

Umm, well working as a 3d artist for some time I had some good bitter experiences. Its somekind of dream job :D, you just sit infront of your computer at home and do the job. You can do things when you like, how you like. The pay??? well,… you’ll earn good if you’re not meh . The thing is its NEPAL, and 3d is some kind of luxury thing one can do without. When do you think one can see a robot dancing or sth lyk that in a Nepali movie , 10 yrs??? at this rate, duno, 50yrs mayb. I lyk the word exploit , not a good word for a environmentalist, but EXPLOIT your computer . Look at the western world, look at AMERICA, its not optimum use of computer, its EXPLOITATION, and that’s the way to do it.

I had problems with my job . Working alone is very inefficient, and theres very less motivation. Even small things can give you problems, and meh being a bit of a perfectionist always want to do the best way . There are lots of things to do, modelling, texture painting, materials, rigging, lights, cameras, rendering, ANIMATION…, post produciton… well, each of those are separate job by itself. Final render and animation that’s what others see, not the work learning things to get there .

Well, there are many things, I whine a lot. Yo bhayena tyo bhayena, garne chai kei haina re . Anyways a lot of my whining later, heres another pic, hope you ppl like it .

Just Started Testing With Windows Live Writer

2011-06-17T15:48:00.001+05:30

Well, this is the first time am using windows live writer, hope it will be good.

Am back

2011-06-08T10:59:00.001+05:30

Now that my studies are almost finished and I have a bit of free time, I thought I well resume my blog. Hope I can post regularly this time :).

Thoughts

2009-10-15T13:10:00.002+05:30

My life is soo strange, so many ups n downs kee..., maybe its not interesting enough going in a straighttt line, but i could do with some stability in my life right now :). Maybe I should get my priorities set, my mind wanders all the time, maybe its da age :), i live like theres no tomoroow, and when a week passes, i go like owww :o a week gone by already, I wasted the whole week, what a wastee :).
Life always doesn't go exactly as what you want. I myself live my life as a little boy :D. If you don't be good then santa won't come in the christmas, and wallaaa no chak chak :D. Its not a bad way to live actually, it fits perfectly to my character and it is working quite nicely for meh. The thing is being good is good but is it enough? :D, if you want to live a non compromising life as I do, then it sure isn't :D. As you can see, I am still trying to find out what Ive got to do :D. Maybe totally uncompromising life is not possible, there is no perfection in anything in this world. I don't even care about smaller things in life, not exactly bindas, don't know if I ever have been bindas :D.
The televisions nowadays :D., really messes meh up :D, especially the travel n living channel :D. Do all the people live their life like in the tv??? The Amsterdam, Paris, New York??? such a big world, such a short life :D. Okeyyy, more next time, am getting all messed up in my mind :D.

Should I work on Saturdays???

2009-08-08T18:51:00.005+05:30

Should I??? Not only saturdays..., I ask sth like this everyday, am I overworking????, or underworking???. I actually spend so much time thinking that I don't get anything done and still feel am being overworked :D. I don't know if I am only one having the problem :).
Take today for instance. I have 2 projects in hand right now, an appartment project and a urban design project, both very complex. I wake up at 8:30 in the morning as I usually do, and I hadn't even freshend up, I got a call from Saroj dai to come to his house. It was already planned yesterday, I couldn't say no. I didn't hurry, I ate breakfast, surfed net for some time, then hurried to Saroj dai's home in my bicycle. I spent almost 3hours there. Saroj dai is very good architect and explains everything, but very picky on even small details :D. I am a lazy person :D, I know how to do things but too lazy to do it all. After finishing there I returned home and it was almost one. I ate lunch, I was tired,... but I don't like sleeping in the afternoon. I sat chatting with meh fren, I just love chatting :D. I didn't touch a thing of my work :). And now I am feeling if I should work or continue with surfing net, or go to sleep. Its saturday for christs shake. I shouldn't be having these tensons, its a holiday :D.

My lifes perfect

2009-08-04T22:11:00.003+05:30

My life is just perfect... it didn't use to be. I was a moaner, always complaining about this and that, nothing seemed right. Maybe it didn't too at that time, so sick of things going around. Nowadays I don't even care, my life is just too perfect, better than perfect actually, many things are going better than I had ever imagined.
It might sound odd, and I myself am having trouble writing it, but it is true. Chatting has changed my world completely :). Its been about a year and a half since I first started chatting in mobile. I am not a man made for chatting actually, a person like meh should not chat. My head hurts everyday, too much joy sometimes, sometimes almost tears, am a dreamer, think too much. Why why why???... my lifes just too perfect :(.
Its an addiction, I don't know how cigerette or drugs addiction feels like, so dunno which one is better :). Sometimes I seem to care too much, dats what I wrote in my hi5 profile some 1 yr ago mayb, still so much proud of it :D. A person like meh should never chat. My head hurts with everyday that goes by, am not living my own life, seem to forget the distance, it feels like Ive been living with my skull ripped off my head. With every word it feels like someones poking my brain with a stick :D. Its an addiction, people won't stop smoking, would they :D.
Yeah, my lifes perfect,... I live many lives... don't let me live on my own...

Outer Ring Road Project

2009-07-20T09:44:00.009+05:30

This is one project that I've done from head to toe, till now ie :). Actually this project was already behind schedule when I arrived at the office, wasn't told to do it even after a good 1 and half months :D, and then was told to finish in a week :D.
This is an animation project for the outer ring road, we were supposed to make 10 - 15 minute animation of the different features of the Outer Ring Road. Being a civil engineer myself I was very enthusiastic about the project and spent many sleepless nights on it :D.
Making animation is not an easy task, especially due to the time it consumes to render, a 10 second animation can easily take 4-5 hours even on the best pc around :). I actually had to buy a new computer just for this animation :D. So instead of making all animations, I made few detailed stills, panned and zoomed around it for some time, and then the animations followed :).
Here are some of the images

A New Look Kathmandu Valley

Quite wide roads naah :D, 50m total

Total width
Half width (almost 6 lanes :D)
Tunnel was fun to make :D

Flyover scrambled in one night :D

Flyover turned out best though

Animation put into photograph

The total animation is a good 12 minutes long, and was made in flash. Its not an easy task I tell you, I hadn't realized that at first and left only a day for flash, how wrong I turned out to be :D. It took 3 days. In all I was quite satisfied, the people from outer ringroad were quite impressed too, but I was quite alarmed by the reaction from the people from Bhawan Bibhag :( :). I don't care if their project is astray, is it too futuristic??, the buildings n all, I think it is possible in 10-15 yrs, actually we are already seeing quite many such buildings in the valley.

A day to remember

Can't Wait :D

2009-07-15T18:18:00.004+05:30

:D Can't wait to open the presents :D.

Phew #:-S

2009-07-13T21:45:00.003+05:30

I always thought this is the age to work hard, but phew #:-S, thats a lot of hard work :) :(. I rarely sleep before 1 nowadays, and starting to get sleepless at nights :D. Sleeping late had been a habit of mine since the college, 1 is actually pretty routine for meh :D, but the ofice is a bit too tiring for my liking, dunno why. I really don't do nothing in ofice :D, I sure have a fun job :), all day I watch the interns do their job :).
Maybe 10-5 job aint for me :D. I always wondered what people will do sitting all day in the ofice :D. I mean, isn't it too much ^o). Maybe you get used to it, but I still think its a waste of time, and I hate wasting my time :D. I used to think I'd go to work outside kathmandu, but later I started wondering if it was worth it??? would it make a difference??? The money sure is tempting :D, but I well I don't even like 10-5 job, a 27/7 job uhhh... :D.
Really dunno what the future holds for meh. But one thing is sure, this one year is going to be a true test for meh. Wish meh luck :D.

Thapathali Khadya Sansthan Praposal

2009-07-11T22:34:00.007+05:30

This is one of the bigger projects that I've done. Sadly we were not given sufficient time by the client. The work had to be finished in a week, and I was left with only three days to complete the 3d :D.

The site contained one shopping mall(front right), one ofice building(front left), health club(back centre), and hotel building(back left). The entertainment area was proposed behind the shopping mall. Only the shopping mall was done in detail, the othe buildings were detailed only where required. That plan backfired though, cuz we were asked to give the front, back and side elevations and sadly only thing that could be seen was back of the buildings :).

The renderings looked quite fine at that time but I soon found out they they were a bit too washed out, dunno why :(. Many white buildings maybe, and the reflection from the glass from the tower maybe. But I cant complain, can I? :D

She is listening

2009-07-11T20:33:00.002+05:30

Office project

2009-07-09T19:02:00.004+05:30

This is one of Poshan Dai's old client's project. The client were looking for a medium sized office building, to accomodate their old office and few show rooms for rent. They had first thought of making a bigger building covering whole of the but opted not to due to budget constraints.
The floor plan was done by one of the interns. They do most of the drafting works, its amazing how they can do such tiring job without any complaints :D, the plan gets altered almost everyday :D. After the client was satisfied with the plans, it was time for 3d. Its fun to work with the interns, they tell meh what to do and I do as they say :D. They drew a few sketches and with few mouse clicks, walla, preliminary elevation complete :D.

The glass on the windows came out quite nice, previously I didn't know how to make colour glasses, but after few tweakings , the came quite as I had in mind. But in my view, cars came better than the building :D. well its only preliminaries.
The building as of now looks like this :). Quite a few changes naah :D. I think it looks lot better this way. The glass colour, I experimented with black this time. I haven't adjusted other colours, am really not good at picking colours.

The project is in structural design phase now, something I should be doing :D. I will, only a bit later ;).

My Works

2009-07-07T22:43:00.014+05:30

I sure have been giving time for myself :D, as promised I guessed. I hadn't thought I'd come this far actually :D. To work as a 3d designer/animator/architect :)) was beyond my wildest dreams. Well, chance came knocking on my door and I wasn't going to let go such opportunity :D.

Okey, heres what I did for last 2 months :).

Ram Mandir Appartment Project
This is one of the first projects I started on. I knew what to do and how to do it, but hadn't actually done anything of that scale :D. As I found out, making appartments is not an easy feat, and as an architecture consultant firm, there are always changes going on. Thank god I don't have to do the drafting works :).
I still remember the first render I made :D. I woke up all night to finish it. And the rendering took a almost 2 hours :D, a mistake I made trying to use 3d trees instead of using images, but the render turned out fine.

One of the first renders

Change of plans

The project is still going on, and the client is always having second thoughts. The client being a madwadi gave special emphasis to vastu, and managing vastu in appartment is no easy feat. I was fortunate enough to go to the meetings with the main consultant company. Meetings are quite interesting, as I found out :D. I mostly sit quiet and watch other discuss. There are people from every field, architecture, structure, santary, electrical, and in our case the most important, the Pandit ji for Vaastu :D.

Closed Fire-escape

A bit of experimentation with lights

Front view as of now

As you can see I am not that good in colours, but the vaastu wanted those colours. Govinda colours, thats what madwadi likes, my brother says :D. Still many things need to be done. Am just waiting to do the interiors for the project :D.

Heyyy

2009-07-07T18:53:00.004+05:30

Am back after such a long halt. I always do things like this, when I start things I am always so enthusiastic, and slowly it dies out and I eventually I quit. Such a bad habit. Hopefully not this time :D.
Am a civil engineer now :)), four years went by in a blink of an eye :D. The best thing college being over is that I don't have to give exams anymore :D. And whats more, I have even gotten a job now. Its not exactly my field, but this is very much what I wanted to do all my life :D. Am learning so many things every day. And the challenges, good thing is I can't quit :D, quitting is out of question.
So much happy nowadays, it hadn't been always like this. Such good frens, such good family, such good time. Feel like am in heaven :D.

Ol fren

2009-03-12T17:51:00.003+05:30

:) I don't know how to describe my day today, but i know I can't be unhappy today :D. It didn't start particularly good, chat ma jhagda garna kati sajilo 6 :D.
Anyways, I was going to college, about 2 in the afternoon, for the project work. And when I reached Ason, right in front of Annapurna Temple, and there I saw, a friend of mine from the school. Her name's Swastika , from Bhaktapur :). I don't recall talking to her at school, even though we were in same class in 8. Was a fool during school days :D. But, this is information age nah :D, some 3 years ago I met her in hi5 and then we became quite good frens in chat :). But you know, the college and stuffs, I hadn't chatted with her for almost 6 months now.
And there she was, right in front of meh. She had become quite different than the school days :), and her pants made her look smaller :D. She was with her mother mayb and one another lady. I hesitated, I sure would have gone my own way at other times, but nowadays am lot bolder and theres no missing talking with such ol fren. I waited a while in front of the temple. There she came, when she saw meh, I think she recognised meh quite well, but don't know if she remembers my name :D. I did ask if she recognised, she went like umm :D, I didn't tell :D, a suspense, let her wonder a bit :). I did namaste to her mom, quite akward moment, I always feel akward with friends' parents :). Then we had a bit of talk, about studies and bit of a joke for coming all the way to Ason for shopping. I don't know if she has changed or not, cuz I really don't know her in person, but it is always so nice to meet ol frens. I sure can't be unhappy today, nomatter what happens :D.

The world of 3d

2009-03-08T14:26:00.004+05:30

You sure must have watched films like toy story, ice age, shrek, or recently roadside romeo :D. Quite fascinating nah, how these animated characters can mimic and many a times, do better than their real world counterpart:). Well, I myself am a great fan :D, its just amazing. And would you believe it if I told you that you can do all those from the very computer you are reading this right now :D.
Yes, it is possible to make virtual characters, make them move around infornt of the camera, add voices and stuffs, in short, make your own animated movie, in your own computer, in the comforts of you house. But the thing is, it is not easy as watching the movie itself. It takes a lot of learning, and the sad thing is that learning the tools is only the first step :D. It is something of an art, you don’t have to know all the tools, everything doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to please the audience. (and not other way around :D). I myself have the other way around problem :D.
This whole week I am going to write about the 3d stuffs you can do at home, and how you can learn it :D, (if you want). I am not writing tutorials or something, just basic simple stuffs:).
I’ll leave you with some pictures of 3d movies you might have watched :). Please feel free to write some comments, I’d be delighted.

Hi :D

2009-03-07T09:29:00.001+05:30

Movies movies and more movies :D

2009-03-04T16:10:00.006+05:30

Well, I sure am enjoying my holidays :D, somebody please bring me some more movies cuz I am running short of movies to watch :D ;). Today I watched two movies, Billu Barber and Roadside Romeo :D. Both of them were quite good actually :), surely not the waste of time as I feel with lots of hindi movies.

I actually don't like Irfan Khan that much, especially the roles he plays and the ads :s :D. But in this film, I didn't complain much :), the Lara Dutta part was quite nice though, hadn't seen her play such roles before maybe, but she played it perfectly. Sunshine :). Shahrukh Khan, don't know if he makes the movie better or worse, but the story at times is so much compelling, you are constantly fighting not to shed tears :D, I myself have a very weak heart ;).

The second film, Roadside Romeo, I actually just wanted to see the animation levels of this 3d film. And well I was quite amazed :o, I especially liked the charlie anna character :D. The story is quite nice too. It I think is better than most english animation films, which I think always trying to sell by emotional blackmail type :D, always showing baby's innocentness and stuffs :D, and always some lessons to show. This film as a whole is quite good and being an animated film and I myself do some stuffs on 3d, I know how much hard work to manage such task.

I actually aint gonna write a full review of the movies, cuz I am a very bad film critic :D, I tried to write review for the slumdog movie, but its still incomplete. I am trying to persuade one of meh frens to write, a great indian movies fan :D, hope she accepts, wish meh luck ;).

Narayanhiti palace! Now museum!

2009-02-27T22:10:00.005+05:30

The very mysterious place in kathmandu will be ofcourse the palace used to be called 'Narayanhiti rajdurbar'. Its was out of reach to general public here for decades.But finally after the demise of king's reign in nepal,we have got to view the unmasked place of the palace easily,. I heard that today is the second that after inauguration of that museum and the number of people visiting just today was more than thousands. That shows that how much are the public eager to explore the so called residence of so called kings! And i doubt that what will be management and new condition that palace or museum after few time when lot of people will have visited. May it will remain as good as today?? I think its condition will wore out like other public places in kathmandu if no proper attention given by the managements!
I hope to visit it soon!

Professional life!!!

2009-02-26T07:05:00.001+05:30

Professional is the person who gained the systematic knowledge and skill through special sort of educations and trainings like we 'A CIVIL ENGINEER'. Why we struggled so hard for about more than four year? I think i did that for the status and prosperity in myself and my family. I used to assume that before.But actually it's not true because as a professional now i realize that there is a lot of liability and obligations that i owe toward the nation and the people here at first. Bound with code of conduct and mainting my competency i have to serve the public. So the future going to be more complex with extreme duties. So i hope my friends that we all gonna be a competent professional and so seriously take the future..

Freedom... at last...

2009-02-25T16:38:00.003+05:30

At last...........
Am freeeeee :D :D
How I longed for this day
Every day.......

College over
Finally.......
No more heavy books
No more exams

So many things to do
So many dreams to fulfill :D
A tym just for myself
and my hobbies
chatting
blogging
3ds max
tv
and what else :D

I want to discover myself these holidays ;)

CAN Info -Tec!

2009-01-16T06:21:00.001+05:30

This year the CAN infotec is being held at bhrikuti mandap,the exhibition road. i felt little open rather than that used to be held at new baneshwar BICC hall.still there was so crowd,mostly students....this years attractions i think was cheap pendrives,mp3,mp4 and mainly laptop computers. i saw different types of laptops ranging from 12000 rs to more than 1.5 lakhs,nw laptops have replaced desktops nearly bcoz laptop is now available at past cost of desktop. i hope that the price will be further decrease or quality will be more advance in next future....

My New Year Resolutions

2009-01-04T17:01:00.005+05:30

First of all a very happy new year to all :). Hope this year brings joy and happiness to all the Nepalese people and people all round the world. 2008 has been a real good year for meh, especially in the travelling point of view. I went places and met people which I could only dream about :D. Yea, there were some bad times, but life with only good times is kind of dull nah :D.
This may well be the 1st time I am writing down my new year resolutions. Its not that I don't make resolutions, I make them in mind :), and making resolutions in mind means achieving it only in mind. Hope by writing it down I will be a bit more commited and be able to fulfil my resolutions. I actually make resolutions everyday :D, I simply hate wasting my time :). I am always doing one thing or other. Now, without wasting time, lets write meh resolutions for 2009 :).

Firs things firs, this is my last semester at college and I really have to do well this last exams, finish it with a bang mayb :D. It hasn't been the best of years, last 4 years, maybe 2009 is the year I was waiting for :D.
Of course there is this website. I have big plans for this website. I actually want to keep this website nice and simple, but am always fiddling this thing or that. This year, I'll try to do more of writing and less of makeups ;).
I am a 3d fanatic. I have been learning 3ds max for almost 5 years now, but I still know nothing :D. Quite interesting the world of 3d and animations. Mayb this year I'll be soon able to show off my works in this website a bit. :).
Loose weight; build some abs :D
This one, I'd better keep a secret :D. I'd love it if this one comes true.

Umm, won't make too many, would be hard to keep. This year actually is a big unknown for meh, the college is coming to an end and after that well, a whole new life. I am still not sure what to do next after college :), a job??? or masters??? I actually want no do nothing, just relax :D, discover the simpler things in life :).

Website finally taking shape

2008-12-28T02:58:00.002+05:30

Well after so much work I am finally satisfied with the layout. There are still many tweaking that can be done, but its not fun if everything is perfect from the start naah ;) :D. Thinking of inaugurating the site on the new years day :D, only 3 days left :-o.
Maybe a widget for the front page to display the names, photos and description of the contributors. It'll need a bit of working. But gotta invite first nah, thats the hard part. Am not still sure of the response I'll get, but am pretty confident, got some great friends :D.
Okeyyy, will go now. Gud night site ;). Tc

The Raju Lama Concert

2008-12-07T20:34:00.004+05:30

My friend Rakesh got these free tickets emailing to a program in the Image fm. Since it was a ticket for two, he invited me to acompany him to the concert, and I well happily obliged. We went to fetch the tickets in the image channel office in Lajimpat. And I got pretty surprised. We didn't even have to show ids or something. They didn't find his ticket and they gave him others tickets. Turns out many people don't come collect the tickets. They gave us two extra tickets, but they had just expirted :D. Later we realized I too had to ask for the tickets for the show :D. Maybe next time ;).
Well the concert was for Saturday and at about 12 Rakesh called to get ready. I am always in two minds, but since it was load shedding tyme and since I had already agreed, I got ready to go. At half past one, Rakesh came and we left. The microbus trip was pretty exciting, seems like I get chatty when I get a girl in front o meh. The whole microbus listened to meh and Rakesh talk about the concert, the assignments, college etc etc.
We reached there just on time. But well in Nepal run in Nepali time. The artists arrived at about three o'clock, a full hour late. But there was a huge roar of applause for the beloved music artist. I too am pretty much fan of Raju Lama. I used to hear his songs almost nonstop in my cassete player around class 10. I knew pretty much every songs from his first album. But I hadn't listened to his newer songs.

The show started with the youth soul or sth, the one with the fucche drummer cum vocalist. He sang 'hami dherai sana chau' and 'tnt'. Pretty good for such a small boy, I liked his drumming part. The singing well, tnt isn't an easy song, is it? Then came Migma Sherpa. He too is quite a good artist. I was getting bored listening to all the jhyang jhyang and dhung dhungs in concerts, yea, I think people should consider singing melodious songs rather than rock songs all the time, have to be good to please others singing rock songs, naa. They have to for meh :). Then at last came Raju Lama, he really has a wonderful voice. And he has learnt to say hoina hajurr, staying almost two years in the US. :D. But to my disappointment, he sang most of his new songs and too little of his older songs. I loved the Badal Pari ko desh ma, uvu uvu khasa and sayed timro bato ma. He also sang Gajalu Tika, quite a nice song, but only a hint while the musicians were making some changes. Wish he had sung that in full. The crowd well were pretty cheerful but the dusty jaulakhel ground got us all choking. We were made to retreat to the back because of the dust. But too bad I didn't have anyone to dance with :D.

My trip this Vacation

2008-11-16T12:03:00.005+05:30

Umm, well this year has been one of the best years of my life. Largely because I did so much of travelling, something I had wished for so long. I always thought I have't travelled enough. My sister and even my brother have travelled more than I have. But well every dog has his day, and my chance came this year. Earlier this year I had gone to Pokhara, a week stay at Chitwan, a college trip to birgung and hetauda to see the bagmati irrigation system. To add to that this dashain tihar vacation I got a chance to go to mustang for our college suspension bridge project. And surely I wasn't going to let go such a chance, I managed to go to butwal and visit lumbini on the way back. About 2 weeks' trip, a memory for lifetime :).
Since it was such a long trip, I think I'd write it in parts. Here are some of the photos though, just a peek :D.

The Writing Revolution

2008-09-14T10:54:00.011+05:30

How much do I write? How much do YOU write??
Well.... mine depends,.. depends on what you call writing :D. I don't write write. I mean I don't write to write. Not that I hadn't thought about it, I always thought about writing a novel or sth, stories u know. But I am too damn lazy :D.
But I do chat a lot. If you can call that as writing then well, I can become the greatest writer of all time :D. I am a chat adict :). And the good part is that people seem to like the way I write in chat :D. I think I chat better than I chat in person. Why u ask?, well the answer is, its so much easier to write. I can ask alomst anything that comes in my mind, and unlike speaking u can do a bit of thinking before u actulally write. The same goes for the emails. Once I start writing mails, I can go on and on and on.
Is it enough??....

End of the day

2008-09-14T00:54:00.000+05:30

Quite good first day I have to say, although I lost most of the time during day due to load shedding. Well its no USA :D, its the opposite, ASUU hehe. I wonder how many hours load sheddings for winter this time.
Aaaa, well I picked a template, its a pretty dark one, a bridge on the header. Have to do a bit of color changing and a new header and think it'll be al rite. Its a two column layout. I would have liked a 3 column one, but most of the time the columns remain empty, so better a 2 column layout, isn't it? :). Also 2 column means more space for the content and larger photos in the content too. So I am pretty happy.
Still lots of confusion about the name. I tried many, well most of them are taken already, many of them not being used :(. I tried nepali-thoughts, chahari, and some few. Lastly I have settled for yuwaspirit :). Yesterday I downloaded this song, teenspirit, meh frens choice for meh to listen :), but I havent gotten time to listen it carefully. Dun kno if others will lyke it or not. Well its 14th September 2008, 1 : 58am post if I change the name again :D.
Many things still to be done. I am trying some blogger hacks tomorrow. Some javascript learning to do, hope it wouldn't be that hard. Theres always copy paste if things don't work out. I wish I could do php in blogger :). Php lot easier and fun too.
Okey this much, will get a scolding if am not gone now. Byeee, Cyaaa. Will continue tomorrow. Gudnyt blog.

The First Post

2008-09-13T23:33:00.000+05:30

Heyyyaaaoolll,
:) Well its the first post. Always so much to write and words just disappear when I start writing. I had planned for my own websites for years. I had even made my own college website, but they don't host websites for free and I always had some problems.
This time I am trying a lot simpler and concentrating on the main part, the content. And this time I am not doing it all alone.
There are many blogspot sites and most of them only done half. I myself have many of such blogs :D. Its not that I wasnt dedicated enough but the fact that too little people watch the blog makes it the most discouraging. Well surely its not that easy, its not that hard too actually the way I see it ;). That I'd leave for the next posts.
Aaaaa, well I had almost 2 months of planning during my exams for this thing :D. I had wanted to open a fashion blog actually, something many people are interested in. But I thought it'd be a poor and sophisticated topic when u are just starting. The thoughts topic is a lot simpler and broader so I am hoping itd be a lot easier. I am thinking about 3 or 4 phases
1st phase the thinking phase is gone, I had told some of my close frens about my idea. Hope they can help in later.
2nd phase, the development phase, is the phase ritht now. I still haven't thought out the blog name, I am on a temp blog, or if I like I'll not change. I want all the templates things done and think of the features I can put. It'll last for about a month maybe.
3rd phase, I am only asking my close frens after all the things are done. It will leave a bad impression if nothing much is done. I myself have about 6-7 frens whom I think I can trust to write in regularly. Some of them are pretty good actually and maybe I should make one of them the chief editor :D. Meh english is too poor.
4th phase, this is time to ask others to write in also. If the things go as planned, I want about 30 members. Its a tall ask, but its a pyramid, 6 times 6 :D, enough na :D. Okey this much now. Lot of works to do today. Cya, tah tah, tc.
