What happened

Grew up with my dad’s thought that “If you have money someone may steal it but if you have knowledge nobody can”.

As I was grown up in an environment, where art and creativity were the cultures of tradition so art was the everyday routine of my life and surrounding. And even my mother is a good painter and artist so whenever she does some creative work that used to inspire me, when I grow up I never thought there is a career which you can make in art and creativity because India is a country where most of the people will go for technical and medical education. But when I said am willing to do my career in arts and creative background everyone refused to my decision but finally I succeeded in convincing my parents. I got inspired to take this field of nature, Mom's painting, culture, and also by the Avatar animation movie. When I got to know how the animation movies are created, was pretty much excited to know how things work actually in production time and when I took Animation as a major in Under graduation, was slowly got to know how things work. Still, it was not a convincing way for me for my curiosity. Like a lot of trials, I got an opportunity in a regional news channel which gave a good view on in and out of how media works.


The first time when I got attracted to the animation is when I saw the movie Avatar for the first time. I got impressed by seeing the animation done in the movie. Initially, I wanted to know how the animation was done in the movie, so with the help of my sister, I did a lot research on animation on the whole as well as the animation done in the Avatar movie specifically. After getting to know about the technical advancements and tools used to do that, I was even more attracted to animation. This triggered my interest in having a career in the field of animation.
To start with my career I did find many undergraduate courses and underwent it. I came out with flying colors because of my interest. As soon as I completed my undergraduate, I got an internship at Focus eduvation which is an e-learning company. While doing this internship, I got to know how to create interactive tools for kids' education. This involved animation while creating videos for kids. After completing this internship, I got the opportunity to work on another internship for a news channel. While working here, I got to know how broadcasting is done along with the use of animation for the purpose of interactivity. I was also given the opportunity to create animation on my own to be broadcasted with the news.  After finishing my second internship, I got the opportunity to work full time for the company techni colors. Since I was having nearly eight months before joining the company, I wanted to make use of the valuable time to either make use of my learned skills or to learn something new related to my field of study and work. So I joined called a company called "2ad pro" which is based on marketing and branding. While working in this company, I was given the opportunity to create advisement templates for both print advertisements and web-based advertisements. By making use of this chance, I got to know how animation helps companies on a commercial basis to advertise their products.  As soon as my time for technicolor came, I moved to the new company. After getting into the company, I really felt how lucky I am. It was because technicolor is one of the world's best companies in creating animation for movies and even animated movies. After getting into the company I was exposed to all the recent tools and techniques used for the animation. With the help of the technical people there at the company, I got to know how to make use of these tools to the fullest. I was exposed to almost everything in the animation industry and I myself was responsible for the creation of a lot of characters in the technicolor's movies which are "Madagascar 3" and "Croods".  While working on these movies, I got to know about the texturing of characters, the creation of virtual studios, and post-production processes in animation movies.

Later on, after graduation placed into a company called Techni Colors, which is an animation outsourcing company for Japanese animation and Hollywood movies. This job gave me a positive outlook on my career. Though was very happy with the job was still looking for some learning environment where I can improve my skill and Creative knowledge so I kept on searching for degrees in arts and design and so I took a gap from the career started my research for Australian universities. Where I found Griffith university which is matching my skills and work experiences.

Most of the animators or designers as I saw they won't concentrate much on their  degrees or university studies, because they think creativity is more important than other degrees so they won't make it for the graduation but I think degrees are also most important for your career to grow in success so I just thought a master would do a better thing to grow in the career so I just thought to take up the masters in a good University. So when I was doing research on  which university to take, My dad suggested to me with going abroad and study. And when I think about the same I thought it's true and even I got that a good exposure so I agreed with my dad and decided to come to Australian University.  And I found Griffith is one among best for design and arts so I just took up the university for my Masters in Interactive Media. Griffith University is one among the best university and oldest and it is mainly preferred by the students of media and design so it is mainly noted in this particular stream. I  want to enhance my knowledge and skills of professional development where Griffith  the university gives me exposure to the changing trends in industry and cross-functional management skills through a very well designed course structure.
University Masters will be a great learning experience to hone my skills.
The elite and a distinguished pool of faculty makes it the best place to pursue a Masters at university and I believe this move will open new doors in my career. and rather than the home country,  studying  in Australia  will open the door to a great exposure of knowledge

In 1st semester I took interactively media concepts  as one course and before taking this subject was confused about whether to take this subject or not because the course was purely a theory-based but my prediction was completely wrong In my 1st assignment I wrote an essay on Xbox for the topic Creative media and was not so excited for the same because it was just a piece of information about the Xbox and how it works but in the prototype, it was very interesting. It was more about how to use Xbox for other purposes using the technology.
I gave a presentation on how you can use Xbox in fire incident rescue and auto car driving while you sit at home, which made the mind to think creatively. So after studying this subject I got an idea of how to think and act creatively for each and every material which we use in our daily life. It created a lot of differences in personal and professional life to act creatively.  And even the course Interactive media Concepts gave the confidence to think wisely and made a lot of difference in thinking and making it to reality. And before taking up this course was quite hesitant and shy natured to think about some things which are unrealistic and do not exist in the world. But now it all changed and I can see it myself.
In the next few years, I just want to be in a creative professional where I wanted to create and produce projects for Hollywood movies, gaming, and animation series for channels.  And I want to see myself in the top successful animators in the world with my own business.
I love the digital art style which is made in  Walt Disney and for some of their prestigious projects and which is the most successful dream for me if I did the same.

ಅಮ್ಮ.........

ಮನದ  ಮೊದಲ  ತೊದಲ 
ಮಾತು ಅದುವೇ  ನಿನ್ನ  ನಡತೆ ,
ಅಮ್ಮ  ಎಂಬ  ರೂಪದಿ 
ಎನಗೆ  ನಿನ್ನ ಸ್ವರೂಪ 

ಕಣ್ಣಂಚಿನ  ಕೊನೆಯ  ಹನಿಯ 
ಅರಿತ ನೀನು ನನ್ನ  ಬಾಳ  ದೀಪ ,
ತೀರಿಸಲಾರೆನು ಈ ಋಣವ 
ಮತ್ತೆಂದಿಗೂ ಈ ಜೀವವಿರುವ ತನಕ 

ಮೊದಲ ಮುತ್ತು ಮೊದಲ ತುತ್ತು 
ಇತ್ತ  ನಿನಗೆ ಸಾವಿರ ಧನ್ಯ ಪ್ರಾಣಮ್ಯ,
ಅಮ್ಮ ಎಂಬ  ಪದದ 
ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಅರ್ಥ ಅದುವೇ ಸುನಂದ .........

Just Waiting for U



ಪ್ರೀತಿಸು ಒಮ್ಮೆ ನಲ್ಲ
ಜೀವನದಿ ಮರೆಯುವ ಮುನ್ನ
ಮೊಹಿಸು ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಇನಿಯ
ಈ ಜಾತ್ರೆಯಲಿ ಕಳೆಯುವ ಮುನ್ನ

ನಿನ್ನ ಸನಿಹಕೆ ಪರಿತಪಿಸಿದೆ ಮನಸ್ಸು
ಅದಾಗದ ಹೊತ್ತು ಮುದುಡಿದೆ ಕನಸ್ಸು
ಬಾ ಇನಿಯ ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಬಿಗಿದಪ್ಪಿ
ಮುದ್ದಾಡು ನಾ ಮರೆಯುವ ಮುನ್ನ ಈ ಜಗತ್ತು.

ಮತ್ತೊಮ್ಮೆ ...................

ಕೇಳದೆ ನಿನಗೀಗ 
ಬೇಸರದ  ಈ  ದನಿ 
ಮತ್ತೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ಕೂಗಿದೆ  ನಿನ್ನ 
ನೀ  ಬಾರದಾದೆ  ಇನ್ನ 

ತಪ್ಪಾಗಿದೆ  ಕ್ಷಮಿಸು 
ಎಂದಿದೆ  ಈ  ಮನ 
ಆದರೆ  ಅದ ಕೇಳಲು 
ನೀ  ಇಲ್ಲ  ಈ  ಸಮಯ

ಬದುಕಿನ ಹಾದಿಯಲಿ

ಭೋರ್ಗರೆವ  ಸಮುದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಳುಗುತಿದೆ  ಬದುಕಿನ
ಪುಟ್ಟ  ಹಡಗು
ನೀ ಕಳೆದು  ಹೋಗಿರುವ
ಸಮಯದಿ
ಪರಿತಪಿಸಿಹೆ  ನಾನು
ಬಾ ಒಮ್ಮೆ  ಇನಿಯ
ಆವರಿಸು ನನ್ನ
ಮತ್ತೆಂದು  ನೀ  ಕಣ್ಮರೆಯಾಗದಂತೆ

ನಿನಾಗಾಗಿ

ಮನದ  ಭಾವನೆಗಳು ಸಾಯುತಿವೆ
ಏಕೋ ಇಂದು,
ಕಾರಣವ ಹೇಳದೆ ನನ್ನಿಂದ
ಓಡುತಿವೆ ಇಂದು,

ನೀ ಆವರಿಸಿರುವೆ
ನನ್ನ ಮೈ ಮನವ
ಬಾ ಬಿಡಿಸು ನನ್ನ ನೀ.
