10 Anti-Smoking Campaigns on World No Tobacco Day

The 31st of May is celebrated across the world as the World No Tobacco Day. The day intends to promote a period of lull for smokers and also aims to spread awareness on the negatives of cigarettes.

It’s a personal choice to smoke, but it’s a choice with far too severe consequences.

Instead of sounding like your mother, I’d rather let these 10 Anti-Smoking print campaigns do the talking for me on this World No Tobacco Day.

Tracks Made With Yesterday’s Google Doodle Based on Robert Moog

Yesterday’s Google Doodle that was made to pay homage to the Electronic Music pioneer Robert Moog gave us endless hours of enjoyment; I unearthed a few things about it in my previous post. Creating a track was an arduous task (ask me, I got irritated so many times that I felt like smashing my keyboard), but the final result was so fruitful that the effort seemed worth it. We at DigitalAnalog orchestrated a few popular tracks using yesterday’s Moogle Doodle. If you don’t like them, just blame Google.

In Conversation with Karthik Ramachandran

It’s probably the weather that contributes to my wilful distaste, but the last thing that interests me on a humid Friday afternoon is talk about rent inflation in Bandra. Still, the facts are being vehemently produced in hopes that I might engage in some popular tea or whisky (pick one) argument about when’s the right time to start my own business.
