To new beginnings!


Change can be a difficult part of a person's life, but it is also necessary for a person to grow.

I've been living in Kolkata, the City of Joy for all 18 years of my life. And now it has been almost a month already since I've had to pack my whole life in just three suitcases and leave the rest of it 1,875 km away, back home.

After coming to Bengaluru for college and living alone, I've learned that moving to a new place isn't just about making new friends or finding a new place to call 'home'. It is also about rediscovering and learning more about your own self. Already being an extremely introverted person, the thought of being alone around people I've never known was terrifying, but also something I've deeply wanted to experience. A change in the environment can really influence a person's personality. Never did I ever imagine that I would become the kind of person to start up conversations with people, but now I have. Situations have forced me to do things I wouldn't do if I was still living in my comfort zone. I realize now how important that little push out of my comfort zone was to help me grow, and I couldn't have asked for any better way.

I've already learned so much about myself and I can't wait to learn more. But now I wonder whether my roots will be so severed that when I go back to the place I left behind, will I still be able to call that place "home"? Till then, farewell to those mundane and sublime places which housed all my memories.♡

Anyway, here's to the first picture I took in my new city.

A Visual Study of Popular Logos

Image
A logo is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to aid and promote public identification and recognition. It may be of an abstract or figurative design or to include the text of the name that it represents as in a wordmark.  The most recognizable and famous logos in the world are those of some of the most well-known organizations and brands. These may not appear the most complex in design, but they often boast hidden meaning, memorability and impact. In this blog, a study of 5 popular logos has been done. 1. McDonald's Industry: Fast-food chain Designer: Jim Schindler, Fred Turner Meaning behind the logo:  The McDonald’s logo, also known as the “Golden Arches,” was inspired by the real golden arches that were part of the fast food chain’s original restaurant design. The logo design brings together the two arches that adorned the restaurant chains and turns it into a lettermark logo, an “M.” Over its signature red background, the iconic golden arches logo drives the “‘50s driv...

Design Theory: Elements, Principles and more

Image
Design can be said to be the process of envisioning and planning the creation of objects, interactive systems, buildings, vehicles, etc. It is user-centered, i.e. users are at the heart of the design thinking approach. It is about creating solutions for people, physical items or more abstract systems to address a need or a concern.  While not being exactly an art nor a science, it takes elements from both. Art is about creating something that expresses the author’s vision, ideas, and feelings. While designers can express feelings and leave impressions through their work, doing so is not their prime objective. So it takes the creating aspect of art, as it is about crafting an item, a tool, an experience even. Design is at the service of the people- it takes on the problem-solving aspect of science. It exists primarily to address a particular need.  It is a very broad concept and its meaning can greatly vary from one field to another. Design can be of various types, some include...

Why Euthanisation Should Be Legalized : An Opinion Piece

Dying with Dignity:  The Ethics of Euthanisation -Adrija Banerjee The word euthanasia , coming from the Greek words eu meaning well  and thanatos meaning death , refers to the act or practice of killing or permitting the death of hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy, aka, mercy killing . The argument over euthanasia has recently taken center stage in discussions about human autonomy, medical ethics, and the fundamental right to make decisions about one's own life and death. Euthanasia, often known as medically assisted suicide, has aroused a great deal of controversy, with several countries and states debating whether it should be legalized. In this opinion piece, I argue in favor of legalizing euthanisation, asserting my belief that legalizing euthanasia is a matter of personal autonomy, compassion, and respect for human dignity.  The idea of individual autonomy is central to the argument over euthanasia. Our lives ar...
