CGI ( Computer Generated Imagery) or more specifically, 3D Computer Graphics. A world we have encountered several times in games or movies but we have never given a thought how this is all created. Well I have and I would like to enlighten you with my esplores. The CGI world is a 3Dimensional world where characters, landscapes and effects are created by means of highly advanced and complicated softwares such as Maya, Lightwave and 3D Studio Max. 3D computer animation combines 3D modeling with programmed movement. Models are constructed out of geometrical vertices, faces, and edges in a true 3D coordinate system. The games that we play with great fun and excitement are the works of long-laboring 3D Animators. It is our fault that we do not appreciate these artists but only the fun of playing games. CGI is used for visual effects because effects are more controllable than other more physically based processes, such as constructing miniatures for effects shots or hiring extras for crowd scenes, and because it allows the creation of images that would not be feasible using any other technology. It can also allow a single artist to produce content without the use of actors, expensive set pieces, or props. Recent accessibility of CGI software and increased computer speeds has allowed individual artists and small companies to produce professional grade films, games, and fine art from their home computers. This has brought about an Internet subculture with its own set of global celebrities, clichés, and technical vocabulary. Developments in CGI technologies are reported each year at SIGGRAPH, an annual conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques, attended each year by tens of thousands of computer professionals. Developers of computer games and 3D video cards strive to achieve the same visual quality on personal computers in real-time as is possible for CGI films and animation. Therefore a new world has emerged right next to ours. We need to appreciate this branch of technology and explore it more.
Take Me Away March 27, 2008

A future as black as the night, a fate worse than even death itself would be to reside in this country and rot my bones away. A promise of education here has no value as there is not going to be any political stability in this country within the next 20 years. Even then there is a slight chance that Bangladesh can redeem its former peace. It is the people ourselves that have destroyed this country and robbed the country of its beauty. Now there is only one hope for me and that is to flee from my mother land. There is still a candle of hope in side me that burns even brighter than the morning sun. I wish to go to a place where I can embrace serenity and study to be a scholar. I hope to go to London, Cambridge this year and take residence there as a student. I dream a better dream, to study with a book in my hand under the shade of a birch in the plane fields of that rich land, then slowly dozing off under the evening sun. Yes all this is possible if only you believe.
Bangladesh Genocide 1971 March 27, 2008

That terrible night, the night of 25th March, 1971 was from then onwards called the ‘Black Night’ in the history of Bangladesh. The streets were stained with blood as bodies piled up one after the another, the shrieks of mothers piercing the air as their husbands and children were massacred by the Pakistani military forces, the distant cries of people fading away and followed by the thunderous sound of shells was a haunting memory that still resides in the hearts of Bagalis today. We may be the new generation but we have not forgotten what has been done to our brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers that day. We stand proud of what they have given their lives for. For a better cause, for a dream of tomorrow. Therefore this Blog has been made by the government of Bangladesh of the horrible genocide that took place that night.

We come into this world for absoultely no reason and we depart from this planet leaving behind a sad imprint of our souls but the only one thing that matters is the bonds that we have between people. There are certain bonds of friendship that we have between people that are unimaginable strong, it binds us, it surrounds us and it flows through us. We are lucky to have friends that care for us and are always by our side when we face the hardships of life. I for one am very gratified towards god that he has given me the opportunity to have met these wonderful people; my friends. The time that we have spent together is priceless and there is no force on heaven or hell that can take those memories away from us. Therefore I tribute this post and this picture to my friends, whom I might never see again after this summer. It is hard to say good bye but we must all walk our seperate paths.
