 WHAT WE TALK WHEN WE TALK ABOUT INFORMATION Every day, we interact with information. But do we truly understand what information is?    What is information?   Is it the same as data?   Is information the same as knowledge? These are simple questions, but the answers reveal something deeper. In this world, we are surrounded by information — in daily life everything. But before we can understand how we use it or design with it, we need to ask: what exactly is information? What is Information? Information is more than just facts or messages. It is processed data— data that has meaning, context, and value. For example, if you see the number “28” — that’s data. But if you’re told “The temperature is 28°C today” — that’s information, because now the number has context. Information helps us understand, communicate, and make decisions. It turns raw inputs (like numbers, words, or images) into something useful. In other words: > Data is raw.   ...

 THE HUMAN DUST A Film That Challenges Caste, Power, and Human Dignity Sri Lankan cinema doesn’t often look back at its past with the honesty and bravery that Gaadi brings to the screen. Directed by Prasanna Vithanage, the film pulls us into the final days of the Kandyan Kingdom, a time when colonial power, caste barriers, and strict social rules shaped the lives of ordinary people. Gaadi is more than just a film; it acts like a mirror, reflecting a painful part of our history that many prefer to forget.  Two Lives Caught in the Same Trap The story is about how the life of a noblewoman changes after she is forced to marry a lower-caste man as punishment. She struggles to preserve her dignity and identity in a society determined to control and silence her. The woman refuses to accept her forced identity as part of a lower caste. Stripped of her title and status, she boldly resists becoming what society calls “human dust.” Her defiance becomes a silent protest. ...

A Stranger Among Stars  I step out of my vessel. The ground is soft, warm... strange. My sensors detect thousands of lifeforms, but none of them match my database. Tall creatures with different skin colors walks on two limbs. Others crawl, jump, or fly. The variety- it overwhelms me. A small being with long hair and bright eyes points a glowing rectangle at me and screams. Why does it make that noise? I analyze... error.  No communication pattern detected. I wave my limb slowly. It screams louder. My chest hums- this is not the response I expected. A creature with a long, wrinkled nose approaches. It trumpets. Is this a threat? I hesitate, unsure if I should retreat or respond. My mind races: patterns, signals, responses… nothings fit. Suddenly, small creatures throw objects at me. Attacking? Offering? Ritualistic? I grab one. It smells... edible. I consume. Acceptable. I note this observation in my memory: "The motives of earthly beings are not rational, but some can pro...

Let’s imagine you have a sibling in oppersite gender. He/She gifted you something he/she really liked but its kind of announg to you.  That’s what our professor ask us to think about. I was thinking for second... So… I’m thinking. If my brother gave me a gift he liked, but annoyed me — maybe it’s a loud gaming speaker. He loves playing games with the sound blasting like a rock concert. But for me? It’s just noise. I like quiet, peaceful vibes. So, when I open the box and see that big, flashy speaker, I smile outside… but inside I’m like why this?? It’s about how different we are. This small moment shows how "otherness" works in our life. My sibling sees value, fun, or beauty in something that I don’t. And that’s okay. That difference is what makes people unique. Sometimes we forget to notice how design, emotions, or choices are shaped by who we are — our background, gender, culture, likes and dislikes.   The Beauty of Otherness People are not meant to be the same. Each of us...
