1990: I was hospitalized with severe upper & lower back pain. Pain was so severe that I was bed-bound. It used to take 30 min to get down from bed & enter the washroom (no family member could attend on me).
I had just completed my first yr MBBS.

2. Doctors had started 4 different types of pain-killers, which were still ineffective in relieving my pain. To make matters worse, no definite diagnosis had been made. A senior Orthopedic surgeon was consulted to explore the option of giving steroid injection in affected joints.
3. He advised to wait for another two days for pain-relief to begin (15 days had passed without pain relief). Failing that, he would proceed with injections. As per his expectations, pain relief started on day 17.
In addition, HLA B27 returned positive confirming the diagnosis.

I also remember creating a cool Matte Painting setup for Terminator Genisys (2015) for the Golden Gate sequence and the bus stunt (real)
The environment for the entire sequence is made of bubbles (matte painting spheres) from different positions on the bridge #VFX #Story #Thread

We shot the real 360 environment from on side of the bridge to the other one, every 100m or so, and created multiple similar painting from every position to let the compositor picking the one for his shot.
We also had specific ones for long lenses camera, done by @SullyRichard

They really made the stunt tho, throwing a bus in the air. But as you can see, we had to add the bridge and the surrounding environment, that was really cool to do.

This shot from Bourne Ultimatum (2007) is still one of my favorite MattePainting.
The jump is real, but we’ve extended the facade, created the interior of the flat, put a CG window, CG glass and added CG shutters.
This shot was a great team work from 3D, FX and DMP.

A stunt man jumped through an opened window, followed by a camera on a wire.
We just added a closed window which shatters, built what's inside the room, extended the wall and added the shutters.
That is the original plate

ग्रीक इतिहास में एक नाम है प्रोक्रुस्टीस। मान्यता यह है कि जब भी कोई यात्री उसके क्षेत्र से निकलता तो वह उसे अपने महल में ले जाता और बेहतरीन ख़ातिरदारी करता। शाम होने पर यात्री को प्रोक्रुस्टीस के घर ही सोना होता जो ख़ातिरदारी की अनिवार्य शर्त थी। 1/n

पेंच यह था कि प्रोक्रुस्टीस के इस बेड में यात्री को पूरी तरह फिट आना होता था। ऐसा ना होने पर प्रोक्रुस्टीस यात्री को ज़बरदस्ती बेड के साइज़ का बनाया करता था। जो यात्री लंबा होता था उसके पैर काट दिये जाते और जो यात्री छोटा होता उसके शरीर को खींच कर बेड जितना लंबा कर दिया जाता।2/n
यह भी कहा जाता है कि प्रोक्रुस्टीस के पास दो बेड थे, एक लंबा और एक छोटा। वह लंबे यात्री को छोटे बेड पर लिटाता और छोटे यात्री को लंबे बेड पर। इस प्रकार कोई भी यात्री सुबह बचकर वापस नहीं जाता था।

The little six year old, broke herself off from brutal arms of the men who did not look like any she had ever seen. 'I am a princess. Bow down you rude men.' She shouted. But all she could get in response was men with strange look in their eyes.
She had seen affection in eyes of the men, she had seen anger in the eyes of her father, She had seen reverence in the eyes of the men. but these men, with those blood-red, angry eyes, looked at her in a different way, in a way she could not understand. /2
Then there was a man who looked similar to them, he directed these cruel men to step back, and when he spoke, his words offered some safety but no compassion, no affection, no reverence.

But first I want to start with a story, about a guy named Steve Jobs. You may have heard of him…
Returning to Apple after Pixar, Jobs knew that talking about tech features wasn’t the way to sell computers. That’s why his first computer, Lisa, failed so badly.
To succeed…

Apple had to come up with a totally new marketing strategy.
So Jobs hired a team that would do exactly that. They launched the #thinkdifferent campaign.
Jobs said yes to doing the opposite of what every other tech company was doing.
And it saved the company

My father was also interested in #stocks. When I was a young child, he and his friends would drink in the evening & discuss about the #Stockmarket. I would listen to them and one day I asked him why do these prices fluctuate. (2/10)
He told me to check if there is a news item on Gwalior Rayon in the newspaper, and if there was Gwalior Rayon’s price would fluctuate the next day.
I found it very interesting & I got fascinated by #stocks, I self-taught myself. 3/10

Now that the #MRoots2022 #genealogy #familyhistory #history #storytelling #conference is behind us, I wanted to share some lessons and thoughts I had as chair for this new type of learning experience. 🧵
The future of #genealogy #familyhistory #education is happening NOW for things you want to see and have mainstream in 3-5+ years. There’s no room for waiting. There’s no room for wishful thinking of before 2020. It’s embrace change. Be the change maker. Or fold.
Stop stereotyping people into boxes of how you expect they’ll respond. Age. Experience. Heritage. Race. Dive in and discover together. Invest in new learning styles. Invest in rising/emerging professionals. Push #genealogy learning spaces to be learner inclusive.
