Batman & Dracula: Red Rain
Batman & Dracula: Red Rain is a 1991 graphic novel by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones,[1] in DC Comics' Elseworlds line of alternate reality stories. It spawned two sequels by the same creative team; Batman: Bloodstorm and Batman: Crimson Mist. Plot[edit] Investigating a series of murders of Gotham's homeless, the victims' throats having been slashed, Batman discovers that the murders are being committed by a family of vampires led by Dracula himself, still "alive" and well. With the aid of a rogue vampire called Tanya—who was once a member of Dracula's brood until the sight of an innocent child drove her to flee from him, creating a "blood substitute" to spare her from the cycle of death and murder—Batman, himself bitten by a vampire (Tanya herself, who seeks his aid in defeating Dracula as all Vampires created by Dracula are powerless against his abilities and mental powers), is able to acquire the strength necessary to stand against Dracula's minions while still retaining his humanity.
Columns / Harsh Mander : Barefoot - The other side of life
LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE: Matt (left) and Tushar. Photo courtesy: RS100ADAY.COM Can anyone really live on Rs. 26 a day, the income of the officially poor in rural India? Late last year, two young men decided to live a month of their lives on the income of an average poor Indian. The idea suddenly struck them one day. To begin with, what was the average income of an Indian? The young men moved into the tiny apartment of their domestic help, much to her bemusement. Living on Rs.100 made the circle of their life much smaller. However, the bigger challenge remained. For this, they decided to go to Matt's ancestral village Karucachal in Kerala, and live on Rs. 26. Yet, when their experiment ended with Deepavali, they wrote to their friends: “Wish we could tell you that we are happy to have our ‘normal' lives back. It disturbs us to spend money on most of the things that we now consider excesses. We don't know the answers to these questions.

What's Wrong with Pakistan? - By Robert D. Kaplan
Perversity characterizes Pakistan. Only the worst African hellholes, Afghanistan, Haiti, Yemen, and Iraq rank higher on this year's Failed States Index. The country is run by a military obsessed with -- and, for decades, invested in -- the conflict with India, and by a civilian elite that steals all it can and pays almost no taxes. But despite an overbearing military, tribes "defined by a near-universal male participation in organized violence," as the late European anthropologist Ernest Gellner put it, dominate massive swaths of territory. The absence of the state makes for 20-hour daily electricity blackouts and an almost nonexistent education system in many areas. The root cause of these manifold failures, in many minds, is the very artificiality of Pakistan itself: a cartographic puzzle piece sandwiched between India and Central Asia that splits apart what the British Empire ruled as one indivisible subcontinent. But this core assumption about what ails Pakistan is false.
The Man Who Wanted to Wed 500 Times
Holder of world records for the most flags tattooed on his body, most straws stuffed in his mouth and longest non-stop scooter journey ever, Guinness Rishi explains his need to break and set new records In 1980, I was asked by my company to cover the length and breadth of India on a Luna 50 cc moped. I worked for an auto parts company, Novelty Auto Traders, and was asked to promote our products on the journey. I went pretty much everywhere I could, Leh-Ladakh-Kashmir to Kanyakumari. As this was before the age of the internet, I wasn’t sure where the eastern- and western-most tips of the country lay. Some journalists told me that this was the longest journey undertaken on a moped, possibly in the world. By 1983, however, the calls had stopped. My mind was made up by 1986: I would attempt the record for the longest non-stop scooter ride. This required plenty of preparation. By 1990, we were ready. We completed the task in 42 days and 42 nights—30,965 km in 1,001 hours. It hurts me.
PSG Art tutorial
Foreword I believe there is logic behind why a picture works or not. I also believe that humans are meat machines, and that one day computers will be able to emulate humans and what we do. Since logic can be formulated into rules, guidelines and theories, these can be shared. Note that I have just empirically deduced the theories I present here, and that I'm a highly fallible meat machine. Many rules also play against each other and may cancel each other out, or become invalidated because of a stylistic approach . The far most useful critique I can give developing artist is: Practice. Updates 2012 May02: Clarified stuff in the Terminology section. Table of contents Licence This tutorial is, in its current form, free to translate and 'mirror' in that form. Because I may be updating it and new versions are generally better, I'd rather not have it mirrored too much. I guess this licence comes pretty close: Terminology (Upd. 2012) I'll try to stay away from complicated words. Seeing (Upd. 2012)

The 80s was the era of Doordarshan with soaps like Hum Log, Buniyaad and comedy shows like Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi which made Doordarshan a household name.

Cours de pixel art 1 : préface
Un peu de sérieux avant que je me mette à écrire mes bêtises Le pixel art, même s'il a aujourd'hui perdu beaucoup de son importance à l'échelle de l'industrie du jeu vidéo, demeure un médium très utile aux créateurs indépendants et aux petites productions. Sa patte immédiatement reconnaissable a le don d'émouvoir une large frange de joueurs, tout en offrant aux créateurs l'occasion d'utiliser des techniques uniques en leur genre. C'est de ces techniques que nous allons parler aujourd'hui, dans cette édition revue et augmentée du cours de pixel art original des Forges. Il existe de nombreuses définitions du pixel art mais nous n'en retiendrons qu'une ici : une image est faite en pixel art si elle est entièrement créée manuellement et que l'auteur a eu le contrôle de la couleur et la position de chaque pixel qui la compose. Ici, vous apprendrez donc la partie technique du pixel art. Voilà, vous êtes fins prêts à rentrer dans le vif du sujet !
