Wow !! Again a long weekend, after such a long time !!

And I am going to enjoy it ! Yess .. truly, deeply, madly !! And my plans for it consists of working on following three important things: Sleep. Rest. Recuperate. [not necessarily in that order].

Recuperate !! Yes, I didn’t mentioned earlier but I met with an accident few days back and I am still moving & driving around with a “ligament-fractured” [some medical mumbo-jumbo] wrist.

Though knowing my better-half, I know she will come up with something that will [note the boldness] force me to break my plans and as usual, I know I won’t be able to do anything about it. Poor me !!

Anyways. Wishing you all a very happy weekend and have a blast of a time.

Thanks to Chrono’s entry Ambigrams & Surveys!, my Ambigram-mania has returned !

First off, what is Ambigram ? Quoting what chrono wrote:

Incase you are wondering what am Ambigram is, it is usually a piece of text in the form of an image, which appears the same way when looked in 2 different ways. Most commonly upside-down and downside-up.

You can also check wikipedia entry.

Ambigrams became famous (again) thanks to Dan Brown’s Angels and Deamons where he used Ambigrams for the cult society called “Illuminati” and the “Illuminati Diamond” [the fusion of the elements, earth, air, fire and water]. The Ambigrams for the novel were created by John Langdon [do you see any similarity here ??].

Well. So after reading the entry by Chrono, I again felt the surge to try something once more. Yeah! Once more. My earlier attemts [years ago when I read the novel for the first time] were, well, disappointing at the best. Not that they are any encouraging right now, but I have got the much needed boost.

Though I am not having the basic tool-of-the-trade, that is some decent font with which I can play. But anyways here is my first shot. The Ambigram of my first name [NEERAJ] created using Photoshop and some damn font provided by windows. So now, I have to find a decent font to work with, to make it more appealing [read more curvy .. Oh! Yeah!!], will update the post with my progress.

Update:
Okay, below is my second trial at creating Ambigram for my first name:

Any suggestion/remarks ? Feel free to give.

It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.
