I am taking a class in the Design School here at Stanford this quarter. This interesting class takes us through several user-centric design projects in a span of two months. Our second project was to come up with a way to bring politically silent individuals and groups into the polling booths.
After two weeks of interviewing umm, interesting people in umm, marginalized neighbourhoods, this was our final presentation. We had several really cool ideas (and working prototypes) but decided to go with simple answers that would appeal to a working class mother.
The best part of the project was making this video. I don’t remember the last time I laughed so hard. It’s so camp.
See if you can spot me. I appear in just one scene. And my awesome butt makes an appearance in another, fully clothed of course 
I worked on this video at a time when I really really needed something to distract me. And someone to give me a hug and say it would all be okay. Thanks, Truth Children. For both.

You’re back to blogging, yay
The pictures are lovely and this video is amusing (couldnt spot you specifically…you and friend took alternate turns being mum?) Speaking of which, check out iit’s cultural site http://gymkhana.iitb.ac.in/~cultural and look for short films by freshies, a particular one called “Ajnabee Ayush”. It’s pretty funny.

@Tanny: I was the person manning the clock – so yes, I was Time. Actually I was in two scenes – I was also the mom waving to the kid in ‘the park’.
And i was accidentally in another frame which was just supposed to contain a chair!
