What an idea!
All it takes to be different are designs that are fresh and futuristic
While running around to do the mundane, how many times do we think of doing something different? Dress different, act different, talk different, walk different….. No matter how tough it seems to us (lesser mortals do understand the sentiments here!), there are some inspiring examples that prove that all it takes to be different is to think differently!Incongruent, unusual, creative, kitsch…call it whatever you want, these ideas became innovations as soon as they
materialised. Hear it from city-based Charandeep Singh Kapoor, currently
studying at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad.

Writing on the wall
Ranjit Dahiya, an artist, has taken a fancy for Bollywood posters
A few days back a fellow colleague tossed up a debate amidst hardcore Bollywood fans who don't 'hate luv stories', but rather relish every bit of mush. 'Bollywood has lost its charm, how can anyone draw inspiration from such weird, mushy and dangerously rowdy sagas'? Of course, we weren't allowing her to walk away with it. Examples of Bollywood touching heart and soul engulfed her. But what convinced her was the simple work of an artist who painted signboards, white-washed and did other stuff before someone told him to join Government College of Art, Sector-10.

Apart from bringing controversial elements like Tharoor, Modi et al to limelight; social networking sites like Twitter, facebook and others are proving their worth elsewhere too.
