As part of a talk yesterday, I used one of my photos from Singapore to help demonstrate the problem with Feature Creep. These are air conditioning units on an ice cream factory.
“Feature creep, creeping featurism or featuritis is the ongoing expansion or addition of new features in a product, such as in computer software. Extra features go beyond the basic function of the product and so can result in over-complication rather than simple design.” (source: Wikipedia.com)

*Always wear socks
*Never let anyone take over your dreams
*Don’t eat yellow snow (and if you find something brown on the ground, it’s probably not chocolate)
*When people are nice to you, be nice back. It’s like someone giving you a present and you giving one back.
*Life will be a lot easier if you mind your own business
*Never try to ride a shopping cart down a hill
*Don’t be mouthy to your parents
*Pie makes everything better
*Go outside and do something with your life
*Keep calm; life goes on
*Mountains will crumble, oceans will freeze over, and whole cities will be destroyed if you are late for math class
*Never take a good friend for granted
*Never leave the empty milk carton in the fridge
*If you ever love two people, go with the second one because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn’t have fallen in love again
*You don’t need to use two sheets of toilet paperc just because it’s etiquette or fancy; use what get the job done (that also applies to relationships and life choices… but mostly toilet paper)
This is the first film in the series not to be directed by Jon Favreau, who turned down the offer to direct Iron Man 3 to instead direct Magic Kingdom.
Iron Man 3 (2013)
The Javan Rhino is the most threatened mammal on our planet, with as few as 35 remaining. We need to take immediate action to protect this animal, so Amy Sullivan in partnership with GASAN, is dedicating 100% of the proceeds from these prints to Operation Javan Rhino, a project of theInternational Rhino Foundation.

My post on completing my first MOOC and my experiences around it.
I attended the Naturalists training program, conducted by Mr Karthikeyan Srinivasan from Jungle Lodges and Resorts. As part of the course, we did some field exercises which involved cataloging of birds in the Bannerghatta national park area. These are the sketches I made in the field as part of this program.
