SUNY-Oswego/STARTALK collaboration (2019)


Pixelated Memories was featured in a series of educational videos on ancient Indian science and architecture. These were developed jointly by State University of New York (SUNY-Oswego), University of Maryland, ESHA Foundation and US National Security Agency as part of STARTALK Program, an effort to internationally promote several languages (including Hindi) and their vernacular sciences.

The collaboration project was the brainchild of Prof. Dr. Alok Kumar of SUNY-Oswego and involved detailed research about the history, architecture, religious significance and scientific underpinnings of several monuments in Delhi and Rajasthan.

Even though it was pre-decided that each of the two videos that Pixelated Memories will feature in will introduce only one monument/concept and will only be 5-10 minutes long, it nonetheless required two days of hectic shooting at the Qutb Complex, Delhi. It was an exhilarating experience, though disconcertingly intimidating, being under cameras and strobe lights for the first time!

Here are the videos –

First off, let me say that I absolutely loved your write-up. It's so refreshing to stumble upon a blog post that's not only informative but also so engaging. Your storytelling style really brought the whole experience to life. I almost felt like I was right there with you, soaking up the cultural richness and language learning at the event.

    I was particularly impressed by how you emphasized the importance of language education and cultural exchange. It's heartwarming to see such initiatives fostering understanding and unity among people from diverse backgrounds. The personal anecdotes you shared made me appreciate the human connections and friendships that can be built through events like this. Your passion for language and cultural diversity shines through in your words, and it's contagious!
