Design Brief for Bookmark Website

Objectives: It will not be a re-design or reworking of any existing site. It is a completely new design. The website ideas aren't solid at the current stage and little bit vague.  Website Goals:  Many people use multiple browsers and computers and want to have their bookmarks available from anywhere without the need to synchronize them or take them along.  Many times we view a website and like the content, either we have to save the entire page or copy the content. If we save as bookmark there are chances that the page may be removed or shifted to another place in future,so if we can have a single place where we can collect all our bookmarks,images,pins,videos and any content that we liked or would like to read later on it would be very handy. The goal of the website is to provide such a platform. Key Objectives: To store all the content of the user in an organised manner so that it can be available to the user at any time. The design should be simple and each...

Junagadh's population was predominantly Hindu and only 1/5th of the total population was of Muslims still the nawab decided to accede to Pakistan. Pakistan accepted but Indian government took drastic action. Nawab of Junagadh, his family and prime minister flew to Pakistan leaving everything. There was a referendum where 99 percent of people who voted chose India and rest from 2 million chose Pakistan.  Junagadh was merged into Saurashtra. Later on in the state of Bombay and then in Gujarat. As the nawab left leaving everything, the drivers assigned to take care of the cars became the owners.

You Rock Bro !

The hundredth post is dedicated to the guy who inspired me to start a blog. “Parthu” Two months back, I never knew I would have over 2k visitors on my blog, and I would write 99 posts. I am happy that I followed his advice and started the blog. I have always been in awe of him. He would sometimes give me the opportunity to review his work and I would feel this is ultimate but then he would turn up with something much better! He has always surprised me with his talent and thoughts. I really like it when he would have brainstorming sessions with me, when he would ask me to give feedback and suggestions. I know how much my chest puffs when he says I pass his high standards and I can scrape appreciation from him. I never realized when we grew up ... It seems just the other day when he used to be sitting in front of the TV, too lazy to go and fetch water for himself and he would say, " Je mari ben haise ee mara mate pani bhari avse" and I would run down to...

Ahmadabad : Shock City of Twentieth Century India , Howard Spodek.

In the 20th century, Ahmedabad was India's "shock city." It was the place where many of the nation's most important developments occurred first and with the greatest intensity—from Gandhi's political and labour organizing, through the growth of textile, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, to globalization and the sectarian violence that marked the turn of the new century. Modern Industrialization took place, many institutes like IIM, NID and Physical Research Lab were established. Many political strategies were formulated in Ahmedabad and it was the centre of leading innovations and strategies of political organization. Events that happened there resonated throughout the country, for better and for worse. Ahmedabad truly deserves the designation of “Manchester of India” .Howard Spodek describes the movements that swept the city, telling their story through the careers of the men and women who led them. “Gandhi chooses Ahmedabad” This chapter portrays the ...

Tighten your seat belts and get ready for the spell bounding journey of short films. The passengers have always kept on adding, and nobody wishes to get down once they climb in.   Cyrus Dastur has ensured that people are  in-lured  towards short films , not only are people now interested in watching short films, shamiana has encouraged a lot of people to make short films. “Shamiana is just a celebration of life, of every moment where people just want to enjoy their existence and not bother about other things in life. I’d be happy if a person wants to live another day after seeing all the fun at our fest!” says the founder, Cyrus Dastur.   All films don’t even need dialogs to put across their message. Short films are really a great medium to express our thoughts and people will love if the films are innovative.
