• WHAT IN THE WORLD IS VIGYAN PRASAR?

  I have no clue. But according to their website, I quote "Vigyan Prasar is an autonomous organization setup by the Government of India's Department of Science and Technology in 1989, to undertake large scale science popularization tasks in the country. "

  India huh?

  By now, you must be wondering where I'm going with this. Well, here is an outrageous story. The link for the actual webpage is THE ANATOMY OF CRIME - A SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS - VOLUME 1

  This is apparently India's government analysis on crime. The hilarious part is that below the reference link, The Gene Generation is listed down as research material! However, the tag line shows that they got some of their information from the old site at THE GENE GENERATION - THE FUTURE OF SCIENCE AND CRIME

  

  This was way back when writing the back story for the world that I was eventually going to make, I decided to craft and write in absolute detail the things that most people will never see in the film but will nevertheless give me a strong sense of familiarity with The Gene Generation world. I never thought I sounded that convincing! Heck, I was even using codings to play tricks on people. In one of my pages inside, you can send a hack to someone. Of course, they won't know it came from you, so you can pretty much say lots of nasty things like 'Someone thinks you need a new face for that ugly one you have'.

  Still, I guess the Indian government dudes might have just used it as a reference for possible criminal movement of the future. Still, deep down inside, I hope they take it seriously, cause then it would be much more funny!
