While working on PTA I was thinking of a 3d UI best suitable for the app and worked out few half-born ideas. It was a few weeks back that I got some free breathing space from usual office works, and finally completed one of those ideas into a working prototype — “NewsBox”.
MobileWish NewsBox is a simple Flash Lite 3 application that displays news from 9 top news sites including BBC, CNN, Yahoo and is specifically designed for Nokia N97 and Nokia Xpress Music, where the navigation is controled by touch and key navigation. My focus in building this application was more on 3D based navigation rather than the content. I am sure the screenshot below will inspire some of Flash Lite developers. Once I give the application a final shape, I will soon be posting a working screen-cast of the application.
‘Have mercy on White Things’ is a poem on violence and killing…how man has lost his heart in the hollow way of living. Though I had written this poem few years back, still it’s Eliotian perception applys to today’s Iraq and Afghanistan war zones. (The image at the right is a digital montage I made few weeks ago )
Poem in text format given below :
Autumn leaves floating
on the voiced wind
spreading over the grey canvas.
A naked tree
like a skeleton standing on the middle
with a texture of dark
and its last crumpled leaf
— lonely !
Dark is not all — there is ‘white’
a dying swan upon the dry earth
waiting for the last blow
from the metal barrel
like thousand others,
who left their body, to serve the barrel headed
who move over the cracked land
to quench their thirst, with blood.
More white spots flew to the East
more of life, has entered the torture land
to fall upon the stone claws that
shove out from the desert bottom. . .
But life never stops
and the birds never stop,
in this hollow land
nothing ever stops !
