Apart from being another ellipsis on the headline, this happened IRL.
It has been six days since I started my diploma project (graduation project)
at Codesign in Gurgaon. We cook dinner at the guest house, figuring out
combinations of tomatoes, potatoes, and the toeless onions and raw mushrooms
of the less hallucinating kind (I guess, never tried one) as we proceed.
That aside, the pre-diploma display is over, the photographs travelled the
required miles and reached me yesterday.
Click on the panorama below for the huge-ass size.

To many a wellwisher’s dismay, I used Sellotapes to put the work up on the
Aquarium’s glasses. This was a stunt I have been wishing to pull after EJ’s
recent Provo exhibition. So, I guess some part of the universe changed, in synch.
This below, is Bodoni in all its glory.

This one below is the final elective I did at the Institute, titled ‘Drawing: Book’.
An interactive installation where a book, when its leaves are turned, generates
Rorschach-like patterns onto a screen/wall.
The book was quite dysfunk by the end of two days.

That is what four years of design school have done to me, below.

walked in and looked at the Sellotapes. I am indebted to the space and time there.
And I do think about how the Indian Government has been instrumental in
shaping up my life since class 6th. The need to write on last four years is now
becoming as painful as the neck-sprain from lending my own angle to The Breakfast Club
last night. I shall take heed, later.

people dint like the cellotape?
I loved the whole bad assness of it!
then again i also am a sucker for the black-white-grey-neon colour combination.
Thank you, Kabini. :)
(Reassuring, your comment is.)
Great abhi..:) can see what both NID and the hardwork has done to you. Proud to see the huge amount of work.
Hehe, thanks Charu.
i like the yellow stickies too. a good reminder to not take oneself too seriously - which tends to happen in nid especially when it come to work.
great display. have always liked your work. the point of view is rather refreshing.
the catharsis of putting up a pre-dip display is something else.
good luck with the big dip ;)
Thank you, Mandakini. Now the tapes and stickies will also serve as tags to remind me what all were up there on the glass. The dip started a month back. It is demanding work.

An, inconvenient truth, Buddha.
