Techinque-ally sound !!!

When i was a kid i had a favorite painting which was a Ganesh Ji in a dancing pose....
i loved it ..adored it....
and one day when i joined my painting school ... i showed it to my teacher the way i used to show it to everyone... and he told nothing absolutely nothing....
and sometime later i knew why....
one day when he was teaching us postures and techniques related to posture ... he pointed out one simple thing in my painting the lack on balance in the dancing Ganesha.... and told that 'when i saw it i could just see the fault in it and hence could not comment anything about it'.....

and that day onwards whenever i saw that painting; instead of the beautiful colours of the background, instead of the efforts put in by the kid, instead of the perfect expressions of the dancing pose; i always saw the imperfection in it....
from that experience i had learnt that technique is good when u learn it and u go beyond imperfections, when u can undo the mistake ;but in this process u always loose the charm, the innocence of the first touch, the fresh look ......

after this incident i have always made it a point to make sure to complete anything at one go but to never look back into the flaws if i dont have the intention of destroying it completely after the flaw is identified......

Few days back my roomie's frn was here and we were having a light chat...
and then suddenly our discussion a direction which was towards art and when i showed him my wall painting he being a professional photographer understands the perspectives the techniques of painting asked a simple question where is the Horizon the painting....
and when i answered its immaterial you wont see the difference in the darkness he still insisted i at-least make him point where it lies....
and i very well understood where he is heading to and after my correct answer he will point out the mistake in the painting and i knew after that the fate for this painting would be the same as for my dancing Ganesha.....
and i answered him something which was wrong but in accordance to the painting.... he must have thought i am a stupid gal who does not understand techniques but he will never understand i am the gal who gives more importance to the efforts and the thoughts then being a perfectionist...

Education Vs Literacy !!!

Education is something more than literacy....
we must have come across many 'Padhe likhe Ganwar' in our life the Literates and the 'Anpadh samajhdar' the Educated ones....
so i just thought to jot few examples where i feel like kicking the Literates on the very delicate spots....

1. Breaking queues in billing counters (even during shopping) as if they r only ones in hurry.
2. talking rudely to senior citizens or making fun of them
3. behaving rudely in restaurants with waiters/ bartenders or with their maids at home or the chotu at the chai ka thela
4. When ppl take unnecessary printouts , sometime even dont care to print both sides.
5. Dont care to preserve water , electricity or any natural resource
6. Dont respect someone's personal space by being nosy or poky about matters
7. Run over traffic signals
8. Fear to be near HIV+ people
9. Think its rudeness to ask for a blood test during a arrange marriage
10. When think beauty is only skin deep
11. Behaving like a racist, When more importance is given to people with whiter skin colour
12. Dont respect women at home or outside
13. When people of other sex are nothing more than mere sex toys for them and keep a gaze as if u r stripping in front of them
14. Dont hold a door open for anyone even if they know someone is just behind them
15. When people dont behave sensibly towards people in a group by using a language not understood by all

Priorities !!!

priorities.....
this is a word which can sometimes solve a bunch of your problems but can sometimes create more...even sometimes ppl fight over matters related to priority...
maa ki priority ya biwi ki.....
office ki urgent meeting ki priority ya bacchon ke liye dinner ki......
saas ki baaton ki priority ya apni independence ki.......
but these are times when we have the decision in our hands.....
and there are times when we unknowingly might hurt someone because of these priorities...
we might priortise meeting a frn then staying with family....
we might priortise shopping with a new frn than going to doctor with the one for whom we had hurt our family some time back.....
we might give priority to the talks of one roomie than the other......
as i hav understood, priority is sometimes a decision made by mind based on requirements and sometimes its a decision taken by our heart based on our likings....
but i am yet ot figure out which one should you give more priority to decisions made by mind or heart......

Ruhaniyat !!!

I just happened to attend the Ruhaniyat Hyderabad chapter on 2nd....
the sufi and mystic music festival brought many people under one roof..... be it the singers and musicians from across the country or the audience from the different paths and professions....

i might be a music deaf person... i might not know the raagas , talas....
i can make out the ones, just the right notes that touch your soul....
and it was such a evening....

no words are ever required to describe Love and it could be well explained by the all whos hearts and souls danced to the melodies of the Sufiana kalams and the kawwalis.....

open your soul to the love of the eternal and enjoy the harmony, the frequency to which your heart resonates the maximum.... this is what Ruhaniyat is for me.....
