My dream destination is Moon, I would love to go to the moon because from childhood I have always been fascinated by Moon, its color, its brightness, and Grandma’s stories about the moon.
As I grew up, I came to know that the moon is the only satellite of the earth. It is a bright object in the night sky. It does not have any light of its own but reflects the light of the sun. The moon is approximately 238000 miles away from the earth and hence looks small. It takes around twenty-eight days to revolve around the earth and approximately the same time to complete one rotation. The moon has fascinated man since the beginning of his life on the earth. He has looked at it with wonder. Many poets have composed beautiful poems on the moon. Scientists tried to reveal the mystery of the moon. They wanted to send a human to the moon. Several attempts were made to place a man on the moon. At last two Americans-Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin-reached the moon on July 21, 1969. They walked on the surface of the moon and collected the lunar rocks. They returned to the earth safely. The American scientists have sent men to the moon several times. Now the moon has been conquered by man. It is no longer a mysterious object.
Also during the lockdown, I had attended online programs organized by my school about space and life in space. The book on Sunita Williams was part of my subject last year. These have added a sense of curiosity in me and I wanted to be in space and experience the thrill of space. Also on the moon, we cannot walk like on earth because of gravitational attraction and we will be floating or we need to adjust the pressure, I would like to experience that adventure. That’s why I want to be the first to go to the moon!

This blog is going to be about the following things:
-This is one of the oldest forms of animation in film. It’s sometimes called cel animation. in traditional animation, objects are drawn on celluloid transparent paper.
-2D animation can fall under traditional animation like most early Disney movies --- Aladdin, Beauty & the Beast, Mickey Mouse, etc. But there is something called Vector-based animation that can be 2D and not considered traditional.
-With Vector-based, the motion here can be controlled by vectors rather than pixels.
-Images with familiar formats like JPG, GIF, BMP, are pixel images. These images cannot be enlarged or shrunk without affecting image quality & this is the best thing for editing them. Vector graphics don’t need to worry about the resolution(vectors are characterized by pathways with various start and endpoints, lines connecting these points to build the graphic).
-Shapes can be created to form a character or other image.
-You can also check out the 2D animations that i made on youtube: link
-In 3D animation, the animator uses a program to move the character’s body parts around. They set their digital frames when all of the parts of the character are in the right position. They do this for each frame, and the computer calculates the motion from each frame. From Toy Story in 1995 to today’s Coco, etc. 3D animation has become synonymous with “animation.”
-Motion Graphics are pieces of digital graphics that create the illusion of motion usually for ads, title sequences in films, but ultimately exist to communicate something to the viewer.
-However, instead of drawings, stop motion adjusts physical objects in each frame. If moved in small increments, captured one frame at a time, the illusion of motion is produced. Whether puppets, clay, or even real people, these manual adjustments can make it a long, arduous process. Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, etc are all great examples of stop motion animation films.
IV. MY EXPERIENCE IN ANIMATION:
--- Here is a link to the playlist made by my most favorite animator (ALAN BECKER) on Youtube: link

When one thinks of a tourist destination, their mind first goes to some exotic location, be it abroad or in our country. However, while we’re out vacationing at these locations, we forget the experiences a simple city can offer us.
One of my favorite places to visit is the city of Belgaum, or Belgavi, as it’s officially called, located at the northern tip of Karnataka, along the Western Ghats. It is in an ideal location, close in proximity to Maharashtra, and Goa – which allow for fun weekend getaways to a new place every time. And the best part is, it’s only a couple of hours away from Bangalore, as it is roughly 500 km away.
However, my absolute favorite way to travel to Belgaum is through a train as it provides beautiful views and makes you appreciate the journey all the more.
Its history is also one to be remembered – it was, and still is a major military center. The city served as a major military installation for the British Raj, primarily due to its proximity to Goa, which was then a Portuguese territory. Once the British left India, the Indian government continued and still continues to have armed forces installations in Belgaum. In 1961, the Indian government, under Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, used forces from Belgaum to end the Portuguese rule of Goa.
Now, the city is well on its way to becoming a Smart City, under the SmartCities Mission. It has an airport, connecting to major cities, well-built roads, and good facilities.
But don’t worry – as modern as the city seems – it still retains its old charm, especially with its two forts – The Belgaum Fort, and the Rajhansagad Yellur Fort.
The Rajhansgad Yellur Fort is a definite stop if you love scenic views. It is located on a hill, 3310 ft above sea level, which provides a beautiful view and a perfect backdrop for pictures. There isn’t much else to do, other than visiting the temple in the middle of the fort, but the view makes it worth it.
Another place to visit is the Belgaum Fort, which is well known in history – mainly for it being a place to hold Mahatma Gandhi during the freedom struggle. The fort is majestic and holds temples (Jain and Hindu) and two mosques. All these structures are beautifully designed and have deep roots in history.
Belgaum also offers hillocks dotting the outskirts of the city, with vehicle access, which provides scenic views and peaceful surroundings. On every trip, we would visit one or the other hillock, and enjoy the calm, away from the city.
A spot for adventure enthusiasts is Vaccine Depot – started as a Vaccine Institute for manufacturing Small Pox vaccine in 1904. It is now an area, rich in flora and fauna – perfect for a walk. It is now rundown, but the scenery and sturdy trees to climb are a wonderful way to spend your day.
And finally, one of my absolute favorite things to do every time. I wish is to go to either Goa or Dandeli, a district near Belgaum, known for its water sports on the river Kali, such as white water rafting, boating, etc. It offers several resorts, perfect for a day trip or a weekend stay.
So, the next time you want to take a small trip anywhere, consider Belgaum as your destination, and fall I love with it, just as I did!
