Theme: Hypercubes:Beyond Dimensions

This event occurred on

Taken literally a line , a square , a cube and tesseract are all the same thing except with a little added dimension. Although the existence of a thought or idea is universal, it can evolve to a far greater extent when given a new dimension to grow into, or in simpler words, when it's looked at from a different perspective. History has it's examples of how wondrous developments have followed this evolution of thought. Something simple or even controversial can have a totally different implication based on the perspective from which it is viewed. Everyone has a different perspective and each perspective is a different dimension of thought. Bringing all of this together can bring about better clarity and understanding.

Gautham Suresh

Professional freestyle stundriver
When competing in a game, we notice the people who come first. This man, the Demon was one of the first stunt riders of kerala. Gautham Suresh was 20 when he first got into stunt riding. When we think of stunt riding, it looks like the most dangerous daring sport a person can come across. It is expected to get injured in the process. The Demon went through one such incident that almost took his life. When facing life, we are of two different types. One that survives. And one that conquers. He was both. He survived and he conquered. While injured, he developed a game based on stunt riding which is incredibly popular. He is still very much involved in stunt riding and is a demon not to be feared but to be admired.

The enterprising explorer is also a film director who has associated with the likes of the veteran director, late I.V. Sasi.
