Up on Pradeep Soni's Wall

I am "the single child", so the walls have been around me a lot. Always reminding me about my boundaries and seclusion. So the day I realized I had the liberty to morph and mutate them, I just didn't stop.

Since then, I have had inspirations, memories, emotions, reminders,instructions and creations which surround me and walls were no more just the former.

Here are the stories of some of the things "Up on My Wall".

Well i have a mild obsession with maps. Besides being informative, they trigger memories and conversation of adventure, travel and fun. Stuck on "World Map" is a coaster from Cavala. Which me, and a friend picked up from a popular pub at the famous BAGA beach of GOA last year. It has a little fish in the corner which is happy to swim in Arctic ocean.There is another coaster, right on the top from another pub in MUMBAI called TOTO'S Garage Pub. It's a fantastic place with a decorative garage feel to it, but it's getting excessively crowded lately.I still touch base with it when in Mumbai (It's a NID thing). Below that, is a postcard of "Birth of Venus" the famous painting by Botticelli. It's one of my favorites for numerous reasons. Picked it up from Uffizi, and it has switched many walls. Surrounding them are, numerous mad things, like festival posters, characters,project sketches.These, things keep my creative juices flowing.

My name is Pradeep Soni.

I am a NID graduate. I do all sorts of creative stuff mostly, animation films and illustrations, like http://anothergoddamnblogger.blogspot.com

Currently i am "ON THE MOVE".

Up on Yash Mishra's Wall

Jenga Towers,
Borrowed from the colleague, Sharan, from next cubicle, making taller jenga towers is a new obsession of mine. These towers are good to pass-time, help you concentrate, look good and attract quite a lot of curiosity from around. Often, some other people also come and make some structures. Most of the time they fall with minutes of standing, but these structures of mine have survived for more than 48 hrs, intense shaking of the cubicle walls and the gully cricket in the small alleyways between the cubicle (played with a smiley ball ! ). Now we have two packs of Jenga blocks, and I intend to make it reach the ceiling, very soon.

About Yash

Why do this?

1. Because there are stories hiding in everything that people choose to put up.
2. Because stories break ice, and spark off new ones.
3. Because sharing is good
4. Because it's time to rethink what's on your wall.

Up on Priyankar Gupta's Wall

A "dinky" spotlight which is a gift from a friend. It acts as night lamp or mood lighting for my room.


The photo below is a HULK toy which is also a gift from friends back in NID and it holds two spears from Nagaland which i got from my visit to the northeast. The Toy is too big to be kept in shelves so thats why it has got a place up on the wall.
