ClipDrop Relight allows you to change the lighting of images (including artworks) for free with their AI lighting tool

This could be super useful for artists if you want to play around with potential lighting/colours! I tested it out a bit and it seems to work with both portraits and sceneries, however it doesn’t look like it works with flat sketches. Still really impressive though!

Heyo ✨

I was wondering - what is your native language? And if you have any advice for someone starting to learn hindi? :) would really appreciate it a lot ✨love your blog and the whole concept :)

Hi there!

My native language is Finnish. So I am just a learner and very humble about whatever knowledge or understanding I may possess about Hindi - it's a long journey and I am far from fluency!

Some advice for beginners... lets see:

Learn Devanagari!

Is it absolutely necessary? Perhaps not but it's so beautiful and it makes learning pronunciation a heck of a lot easier when you can just, well, read the way words are meant to be said. मोती (a pearl) and मोटी (fat, feminine) for example are two very different things even if in the Latin alphabet both would be written as moti.

To practice the script you can use Duolingo app or practice books such as Taneja (2012) Practice Makes Perfect: Basic Hindi (also available as an ebook). Even if you wouldn't need to write by hand in real-life situations, I've found practising hand-eye-coordination somehow helps to internalise the script and the sounds letters represent.

Basic grammar

Hindi is a subject-object-verb (SOV) language and remembering that helps a long way. Learn your personal pronouns and basic verb conjugations (they are super regular and there are only a handful of irregular verbs!) and the rest will follow. For this, I recommend grammar books which there are several good ones (you can see my post about some of them) and most of them are available as ebooks.

Vocabulary

This is probably the trickiest part and only because there are so. many. words. and they come from so many languages (which may or may not affect how the word behaves grammatically) - you will notice soon enough that you know 4 or 5 synonyms for 'but' or 'and' before you learn enough words to even need a connecting word for two sentences.

Here my advice is that first learn the basic rules for feminine and masculine noun declension, and then just start hoarding your vocabulary. Listen, read, watch all kinds of different material. Latest films, tweets, news clips, old films, poetry, children's books... and you will find out what are the over-arching most commonly used structures and words. You will also inevitably gather dozens of synonyms and rare words you probably won't need ever again but hey, that's also part of the Hindi journey - think of them as the flowers growing alongside your path that you stop to marvel from time to time.

Here's some links too:

Language Curry - a free iOS and Android app for basic grammar and vocabulary, doesn't require the knowledge of Devanagari.

Hindilanguage.info - a website explaining Hindi grammar

Wiktionary - absolutely the best place to check for conjugation and declension tables for a beginner

@salvadorbonaparte's MEGA folder with study resources for all things linguistic and languages, including Hindi

Basic Hindi I - an open-access online book for learning Hindi

A door into Hindi - another free access online resource structured like a grammar book. It's a bit dated though, not sure if audio / video still works, but texts, grammar and vocab are still very valid.

Hope this helps. Enjoy your learning!

Love is calm, Deep and constant.

Fireworks light up the sky to make it appealing to others, but does not imply that the sky ceases its beauty without them?

Love has multiple faces. The colourful disclosure is just one of the hundreds. It's patience, the softest touch of silence - the longing of attachment that makes you return after an argument. The beauty in the pallets of blacks and whites, the moments of tranquility among the chorus of voices in your head, the warmth that melts the glacier in your voice at times when you cannot speak up?

Human emotion is one of the most complex communications to decode

Sometimes we search for the figment of ourselves in others. A figment that we expect to understand us feel things for us on our behalf and those little things- they become the greatest once we look forward to. This is how the child in us defines endearment.

We may have lost hope in the belief of love, setting high standards might be just a myth because it is the bare minimum that the 'needy child' in all of us craves.

I watch this video and live performance at least four times every day and I think you should too.
