These are my expressions, some blunt, some spiritual, some funny, some grave, some social, what ever was my state of mind is reflected in these images, If you feel it's too gory, then beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder...

Get off my planet you freaky alien!
This was the last piece of 3D art I ever did. It was supposed to be a joint compilation along with a friend of mine. He was supposed to design the gun and I the soilder.
The scene decided was of a soilder, wounded in a raging war against the aliens. He was one of the last few humans remaining... The thought was inspired my 'Metallica's -> St. Anger album. It has two songs which went hand in hand with this scenario.
- Shoot me again I ain't dead yet!
- It's my world you can't have it.
My friend got a job & so did I the project was incomplete.. but still published. This is how far we could get...
Adbhuta [Wonder]
Rasa - The aim of raga is to elicit emotional and psychological responses from the listener. The production of these specific responses can be understood by exploring the concept of rasa.. Rasa has been referred to as "aesthetic delight". It is, however, a delight distinguished from sensual enjoyment. It is free from the limitations of personal feelings. It is the delight in which the higher consciousness is involoved in the experience of universal affection.
There are nine rasas:
- Love (Shringar)
- Humor (Hasya)
- Pathos (Karuna)
- Anger (Rudra)
- Heroism (Vir)
- Terror (Bhayanaka)
- Disgust (Veebhatsa)
- Wonder (Abdhuta)
I'll try finding the ninth one also...

Ravan Or Rishi??
This almighty 'dandasur' [king of the demons], was powerful. The myth of ten heads is also translated as a human having the power of ten humans. He was intelligent, an excellent king to his subjects, an orater and a musician...
Did the greed of Sita spoil his mind, or the revenge for his sister's pride...
3.14159265358979323846... [pi]
The circumference of a circle is p (pi) times the diameter of the circle, where pi is approximately 3 1/7 (or 22/7 - these sacred numbers turn up frequently in Hindu texts and Rosicrucian literature), or 3.14, or about square root of 10. The value of pi is an irrational number, and pi to 39 decimal places is sufficient accuracy to calculate the circumference of the universe to within the radius of the hydrogen atom!

In Vedic Mathematics, Swami Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji Majaraja shows the vedic numeric code, and how a hymn in praise of the Lord Shri Krishna, the Lord Shri Shankara, is also the value of p/10 to 32 decimal places (and apparently a key to calculate it to any number of decimal place, which I do not know) - the Sanskrit is shown above, which you can decode in to syllables and the decoding key below.
