A product I’m intrigued towards

Biodegradable & Compostable Corn Starch Carry Bags – Towards making myself aware of more and more ways to reduce the waste we humans create, I recently stumbled on a product.

Plastic bags are one of the major things which affect me personally. So while searching for options, I found out these corn-starch carry bags which are biodegradable & even compostable.

Probably there are better options out there, but this is what I found and finding still better than a normal plastic carry.

A lens I’m finding fascinating —

Moment Anamorphic Lens – When I got to know about the anamorphic lens. It straight up blew my mind. So this is how the bigshot movie sequences with those amazing night time lens flares and super-wide shots are being created.

But these lenses are super expensive.

So while searching for an alternative. I found a company called Moment makes the lens for phones. They are the industry leaders (almost) in this area. I later learned that they too make an Anamorphic lens. The coolest thing is they make a case as well which has a standard M-series mount interface with a simple twist-and-lock design (logically similar to a standard lens mount on a DSLR camera but for mobile) and these phone mounts are accepted by many other mobile case design companies in their own designs as well.

Here is where you can buy the case and the lens – Moment Store.

The below video showcases what an anamorphic lens looks like and what it can shoot –


A travel article I enjoyed —

Bullet Climbing Mount Fuji – Mount Fuji, the perfectly spherical volcano. Many of the travellers of it on their bucket list, myself included.

There are two ways you can climb it, one is 2 days climb which has a rest in between the climb and another one is climbing through the night and making it to the summit in the early morning around 4 AM. Found this amazing article on the second way of climbing “Bullet climbing Mount Fuji”.

In case it’s in your bucket list too. Check it out, it may be useful.


Quote I’m pondering on lately – 

There should be no shame in admitting to a mistake; after all, we really are only admitting that we are now wiser than we once were.

Until Next Saturday!
