Curating and Digitalizing a 1000 Print Media Articles.
This is a real-time sneak preview of a standstill project set in motion again
This isn’t like a finished product that has started serving its purpose.
The source material we try to curate is ‘Zebra Crossing’ — a Sunday column carried by The Indian Express for twenty years (2000-2020).
All along a continuum of global cohesion
Call us Team ZC. We have members from India (where our project took off), China, and Pakistan. And, extending to the farthest geographical point on the Earth’s surface from India, Team ZC even has a member from Chile—nearly 17,000 kilometers or 10,500 miles away. This is just a tangential indication of how truly global we are, thanks to our lively presence and interactions on ResearchGate (RG), a social networking site with over 20 million researchers.
The column Zebra Crossing was concieved as a shortcut across the information highway — at a time when dial-up was the only internet option, even for privileged users in first-tier firms. Right now, a host of ResearchGate (RG) scholars contend that the column holds an encyclopedic scope — a finding substantiated by AI briefs.
This site goes on happening as you cross the highway.
THIS IS WHERE WE CONNECT WITH RESEARCHERS WORLDWIDE
TEAM ZC includes students, academicians, coders, designers and journalists.

Given that you are not a drummer, you can perform fine motor tasks only with one hand and you will struggle to play different rhythms with both hands simultaneously. Drummers, however, “can do things that are impossible for untrained people”….
Ooh! That is surprise. We make spontaneous sounds to express everything from elation (Woohoo!) to embarrassment (Oops!). A statistical analysis of responses to more than 2,000 “vocal bursts” (nonverbal exclamations) conveys at least 24 kinds of emotion. An audio map…
It’s sad that no scientist has figured out the physics of tossing the Indian flatbread `parotta’ into the air. The secret of such a fascinating vertical-flying-saucer effect should not remain unidentified. For, what would happen if we try the feat?…
A squeeze in the arm, a pat on the shoulder, or a slap in the face — touch is an important part of the social interaction between people. Nobody needs to drive the point home in the days of social…
Imagine a young mother inside a fast car, holding a baby on her lap. The baby actually weighs 10 kg, but all of a sudden there is a jerk and the mother undergoes a sense of unreality. Her infant now…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have covered most of the skills and qualities that the present youth devotedly regards as keys to success in the future. The first wave of AI replaced humans in physically repetitive tasks. That shift gave rise…

Sometimes we need extreme measures to keep things at bay. And right now the world needs a “North-European Enclosure Dam” (NEED) to protect more than 25 million Europeans against the ravages of an expected sea-level rise of several metres over…
If you unearth an artefact with the same shape and used for the same purpose in two or more differentregions, it could be the bespoke result of cultural diffusion — but not necessarily. Archaeologist Sue O’Connor studied five fish hooks…
