digital escapade...


there was this awesome feature about copper furnaces somewhere in discovery channel lately..
i picked up the splinter from this show.

what should ideally have got finished in about 40 mins turned out to be a marathon...!!
i was shifting in between phone calls, work , email, coffee...

its some wicked place with 'god knows what' messy stuff made inside( probably retro jukebox copper robots!!) , but i thought its all metal so the furnace gets dilapidated slightly towards the seafront, so they have these rigs and pillars to hold it together from falling apart..

need to find more time to work out...chow mates and thanks for all the comments!!!
you are all one hell of a sport!!

?? who made who ??


i always wanted to do this one..
i really like the way mignola has established Rasputin...i felt he is always a shodow looming over hellboy ..its like the kid you first picked up a fight with in your school..
you never forget those first ones..rite?

i had a dream that mike mignola would see my blog and might say one of these.

1. buddy better stop twisting red that way... OR
2. how about doing a short story with red...

im waiting for the day.

salutes to you !!

mignola rules..while he is not ruling..he rocks


friends,

im taking red on a trip back time..
he's a ronin..
no bushido..
no master.. ( ahem.. thats not a katana.. i know..all i can say is that its a broken sword he got from under the sea once..;))

thats what happens in a parallel time frame back when hellboy abandons 'bprd'.

a couple of new posts




i'm getting drowned at work..
hence no detailed postings.. these are mostly scribbles.
especially 'gulf gopalan'..

you can see the recent stuff from my new signature..hehe

i wrote this story recently about an expat who returns back to his native in kerala, with high hopes of living a native life.. something that he slaughtered for sake of big dreams..
but along with him in one of those huge suitcases came a cockroach from dubai..
a satire short..half written.. i aim to sot it very soon.

the googoogang..hopefully wont land me in trouble...
when baby green gets angry ( you know who) , he runs away from the mutant montessori
now its the turn of the super blossoms to team up and get the angry green baby back..
so ..."goo goo gang".

the third one was my entry to the iron giant contest.. i lost track in between.
thought of posting this here...

thanks for being here... your words are real green gasoline to move ahead.
