How My Parents Tried To Keep Me Away From TV

Each child loves to watch animated cartoons and movies, but when I was small, I was addicted to cartoons. While it was still possible for my parents to keep me away from watching television during weekdays, the mere advice of getting involved in outdoor activities during the weekends sounded preposterous to me. My fascination didn’t seem to subside and I started understanding more about animation. I dreamed of getting admission in one of the top 10 animation colleges in India. I dreamed about the success I would get on making the best animation cartoon. Meanwhile, my parents went all out to keep me away from television. This is what they did:

1.    They told me how my eyes were being adversely affected (which was true) due to my excessive indulgence. Even the idea of me wearing big glasses did not deter me. I guess I was pretty obstinate. 

2.    I loved to (and still love to) dance; hence my parents enrolled me in a dance institution which held classes on the weekends. I absolutely loved to go for my dance classes and never missed even one class unless I was sick.

3.    The best thing they did was introducing me to the world of books. While my father often read out to me, he started asking me to read books myself. While it was a little difficult at first, I finally got the hang of it and derived great joy from books. My newly acquired habit kept me busy and I got to learn so much. My vocabulary improved and I started conversing in English. Now my time was equally divided between books and cartoons.

But unlike me, if you are really serious about pursuing animation in the future, find out more about the best animation course in Delhi. Find out about the eligibility criteria and if you fit the requirements. You could have a bright future in the field of animation if you work the right way!

Japanese Anime –Get Hooked!

Anyone who’s remotely interested in animation would understand me when I say: JAPANESE ANIME IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Period.

Okay, well, I can’t really end a whole blog at that, can I? And so I must explain as best I can just why Japanese anime is so darn amazing. For the animation buff, there’s hardly any reason for me to touch upon this matter… but I’m going to do it anyway. Maybe it’ll inspire you to take up some animation course or the other and create something that can (only hope to) parallel the wonder of Japanese anime!

So, what’s so spectacular about this particular line of animation that I’m relentlessly gaga about it?

First of all, Japanese anime takes imagination to a whole other level. You have your regulation animated series and movies and what not, and then you have Japanese anime soaring sky-high in terms of its imaginative quality. Each and every Japanese anime series seems to have such wildly imaginative plots. It’s as though the Japanese had a brain wave of creativity that’s just divine –for lack of a better word. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have a little touch of divinity as an animation mentor, helping you make the craziest and best of animation? Well, the Japanese surely seem to!

Secondly, Japanese anime seems to explore themes that people can’t even think of as themes. Japanese anime doesn’t just target children; they go all out and create anime for all sorts of age groups. Thereby exploring a range of themes that often go untouched in the world of animation. The Japanese use anime as a medium for exploring a variety of phenomena not only limited to the real of imagination –but also prevalent in society.

Thirdly, while other animated series might act a constant tease, Japanese anime packs it all in with a punch, getting right to the point, while still keeping the adrenalin rushing and the mystery alive!

So there you have it. A few wonders of Japanese anime. I do hope it’s ignited something in you –maybe you’ll take up an animation course, or maybe you’ll start watching Japanese anime… Either way, I’d have done my job!
