Is best describe by this quote from Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged:
There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system … that’s the game…
Its frustrating that progressive nations around the world keep pruning laws to make it easy for citizens to set up businesses and to interact with governments… we in India have an ever growing thicket of laws, rules, notifications, guidelines, codes, conventions, authorities and “clearances” to deal with.
The citizens of India exist to serve the government.

Some more Inkscape drawings of mine!
From tutorial of Class 26 of screencasters.heathenx.org you learn gradients and shadows.
From tutorial of Class 28 of screencasters.heathenx.org you learn perspective, text on paths and curves
From tutorial of Class 30 of screencasters.heathenx.org you learn insets, complex gradients and dynamic offsets
From tutorial of Class 33 & 35 of screencasters.heathenx.org you learn masks, reflection using masks and clipping.
It all started with an effort to make an advertisement in Inkscape. That led me to an excellent series of video tutorials at
screencasters.heathenx.org
The below drawings were all made by me in Inkscape 0.47 using tutorials from heathenx!
Result of Episode 22
Result of Episode 11 (Notice the picture hanging from frame effect)
Result Episode 103
And finally, quite fittingly episode 10
Hindi, English, Urdu and Punjabi for road signs. Thats a lot. Oh well, politicians need votes from everyone.
Look at this image of the back of a book. Can you tell me what I found really infuriating?
I find the sticker “Prakash Books” really irritating. How are you supposed to buy a book if you can’t the read blurb at the back?
I find stores that do this aren’t really bookstores. The person who put the sticker there really doesn’t understand books at all… or doesn’t care.
Cute one…don’t remember where I took this… possibly Singapore.
