STAND ALONE




DEWS is an upstanding toothbrush that incorporates a weight within its rounded handle base to keep the bristles away from dirty surfaces. DEWS does away with concerns about whether your toothbrush is resting on an unhygienic surface. This upstanding toothbrush makes use of a weight at the end of its rounded handle to create a centre of gravity at the handle base. When the toothbrush is set down, it will sway momentarily until it reaches a position of balance ? much like a tumble doll. DEWS has been designed with ergonomic considerations, and its weight allows for comfortable brushing.

Friends

Every sunday that you laugh out loud, every trip you make, every evening tea with gossip and Intellectual talks...makes us remember what friends mean in our lives.

Well said

i was just browsing through TV couple of days before. I happen to stop a program called First wife's. Kirron Kher was their, as beautiful and poised as ever. And then she said something that i felt the same for myself and i believe, most people feel the same. She said, "for me love has to have passion. if if their is no passion when you Love is like not giving 100%. I'm a person who needs Passion in life. Love is most important. I want my Love to show me that he Loves me. I'm not the type who is fine with living, just knowing that he loves me, and that's not good enough for me. If he Loves me, he has to show that.If i can show the passion i have, there should be no stopping for him. I think if their is no passion in love or life, its like Dead man Walking."

Inception - Movie



The trailer of the movie may give a little different impression of the movie then it is. Don't misread the movie to be any other Thriller, Matrix kind or Time Travel concept. Its one the concept not explored too much, but very lucrative and realistic. Dreams. Everyone has dreams.We all agree our link to subconscious mind is Dreams. Everyone must have had this dream where it feels so real and nightmarish. Dream so real you cant distinguish. You wnat to get up, you wnat to believe its not real but there is no way out. You have to live it to get out of it. You are the Architect. And then are Dreams which are good to be true, which you don't want to get out of. Imagine these things happening while you are asleep and whenever somebody wants to change your decisions. They use your dreams to influence your subconscious brain to alter your decisions.

Freud dedicated his major part of life in researching The Meaning of Dreams. Normally people don't understand the value, no i would say importance of Dreams on the decisions they take.

Inception, is that's why ingenious, adventure(could be scary for some) and thought provoking. what if their are extractors, who can influence us by altering our thoughts in our dreams, which we don't realize are Dreams. Is death only way out?

MVRDV




This is for Anmol, whose working with MVRDV and fighting for Indianised living space. MVRDV and ADEPT Architects recently won a Danish competition for multipurpose housing/culture/leisure project in Denmark. I love the stacked and overlapping crazy diagram for the building's interior spaces. The section is gravity defying and equally fun.
