Cumin is presently grown in many countries including but not limited to India, Sicily, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and China.

Time and perceptions by age
Hello again, today I’m presenting you a very simple visual that expresses my observations based on my son’s life (who’s just turned 19), my life, people around me (including family, friends, colleagues). This is not scientific and there may or may not be data to support it, but that’s beside the point. The point is […]
Games development using Construct
Hello again, today I will touch upon 2 games I created using an easy to use development platform called Construct. These were done using version 2 (today, they are in ver 3). They were just for my personal learning and fun. It’s mobile and all-platform friendly and there’s nothing to install. Just open the browser and […]
Ventured into new arts wizardy today
Today was my first “encaustic” art workshop! Here’s my output from 2.5 hrs of tinkering with ideas and materials. It’s like sending me out to a hardware/hobby store with nuts, bolts, tools, and motors…you know I’ll build some working contraption when I’m done! This is analogous to that, except in the softer arts sense. No […]
My Disco Lemonade!
This was one of my biggest personal development project that was never published to the world (until now!)…Media Impact. Back in 2001, I abandoned it due to other obligations, but it certainly holds the place of a Disco Lemonade in my portfolio because it has pretty much EVERYTHING and it’s tasty 🙂 Multimedia, concurrent audio, […]
Pet Management – A very early Windows 3.1 program
Now, I’ve always loved having fish as long as I remember. Still have fish 🙂 Ok, this isn’t really about a fish, but rather a coding exercise (in the 90s) while I was splashing around in Windows coding (pun intended). The idea is simple: You have a character (Goldfish in this example), and you have […]
Recall- One of my earlier Windows 3.1 programs
Hello again! So, here’s another of my older software programs I wrote for fun, education. This one’s a “simple” Windows 3.1 program I wrote back in 1995 while learning Windows coding myself (school taught me C, Pascal, COBOL LOL!!). This is a type of a memory game. You have to match at least 2 tiles […]
Throwback to God in ’95
Hello again! I was going through my floppy disks (what’s that?) in my vault and re-discovered many of my older software programs I wrote for fun, education and some were actually sold worldwide (one native DOS program and several Windows applications complete with installation, help and all). This one’s a relatively tiny program that’s big […]
Where can you play arcade games online?
In keeping with the nostalgic theme, I did a quick internet search to see what’s out there. One of the most interesting and most effective way to run all the classic games natively is through an open-source DOS version called FreeDOS. You can download the system from their site (link below) and then you’ll have […]
Intro to my art-work
Hello, stranger! I’ve been doodling before I could write legibly. Completely self-taught, it was just a vent for my creativity. I’ve dabbled into sketching, painting, charcoal, photography, sculpting, ceramics, and of course…a man’s gotta build something with this hands! Meaning, building small furniture to fun constructions. I don’t have a dedicated site of my arts […]
