I happen to travel to College of Engineering Adoor ( on 28th feb. 2010 ) to give a session on 3D Graphics programming using OpenGL ( under Windows ).
When I was walking to the railway station ( less than a kilometer from my home ) I happen to see a dead body on the railway track, with some people around it . ( I might have seen more human corpses than most people as that particular area near my home is a "suicide point" ) This time , It was an accident (he was walking along the track with mobile phone in his ear. Train came from both sides ) and the guy who got killed was some one whom I have seen in my locality ( I know this father very well ).
I took a 3rd A/C sleeper ticket ( Rs. 265 ) to Chengannur and boarded Kerala Express. I started reading Organization design from Economist magazine and also read some pages from "How mathematicians think ?" . Later , I chanced upon a guy who has worked with Milma and discussion about their Software implementation.
At Kottayam , I happen to know that train will leave the station only around 1.30 pm. I had to reach Adoor by 2.00 pm. So , I travelled by a KSRTC bus to Adoor and managed to reach in the college late by twenty minutes.
Fourty people had turned up for the presentation. Since the audience was not homogeneous and most did not have necessary background (Windows programming , GDI etc ) to understand Graphics programming , it quickly became twelve people ( who remained untill I finished my presentation ) and some of the guys were genuinely interested in Computer Graphics programming. I happen to meet a journalist who attended the session and was busy scribbling notes. Since , he had background in physics , he could follow the presentation really well ( based on feedback and questions from him )
I covered Pixels , Pixel Arithematic , Image processing ( color to grey scale , negative ) , Scan conversion of primitives , FrameBuffer , Transformation matrices , A analog clock program , 3D viewing pipeline , 3D transformation using homogeneous matrices , Jim Kajiya's rendering equation , Monte carlo rendering of Cornell box , Phong lighting model with Gourord shading , Phong shading using GLSL , Flat shading , Ray tracing , Ray casting etc to name a few.
The person who invited me for the event dropped me @ adoor bus stand and I happen to find a perumbavoor bus . I boarded the bus and had a nice nap for nearly two hours. I reached perumbavoor around 9.45 pm and got a bus to Aluva @ 10.10 .
After having my dinner , I am writing this blog entry !
