TINTS & SHADES

"jo baat tujme hai teri tasveer mein nahin"

I would agree to this to an extent cos in painting i have not reached that level where the painting would actually be more beautiful then the subject.I would love to see myself reaching there someday,but i would say i am too lazy or i have kept myself busy in so many things around me which leaves me with hardly any quality time to paint.

Talking about painting its one thing that i got as default setting in me.I never took any classes or gone for any art classes it came naturally; a gift from my father he is an amazingly multi talented creative soul.Most of my creative bents are because i grew up seeing my father practicing it.Right from painting,acting,theater,direction,scripting,photography and many more...it was like an institute at home.Observation was the only skill set i had and then practicing it to reach a level where i am today is my achievement.

Nobody actually guided me what i should take up as career or study or in which should i develop my skill set .Biggest example of this is me being a physics graduate now worked 10 years as professional visual merchandiser blogging on photography and scripting few thoughts here.

I am completely destiny`s child in that sense i just lived the way my life guided me and did everything possible to keep myself and people around me happy.Now i think in my early 30`s(yes i am that old and i don't shy away from that)still being single i should develop one of my creative bents big time and make sure i reach a level people see up to me.Lets go through what i have done till date.

25 years of painting.
13 years of theater.
10 years of working as visual merchandiser.
9 years of scripting.
7 years of photography.
6 years of studying physics.
2 years of blogging.

the numbers suggest i have more experience in painting than anything else that i did till date.What justice am i doing to painting...nothing. It took me almost a month to start a new painting and took few hours to finish it.

Statics clearly shows there is no lag in productivity what is missing is the driving force.An inspiration yes that is the biggest problem for fine artist.

Where will i get inspiration from ?
i should thank my muse who recently was ready to be my subject,i could do this painting only because it was her.I need more such push so that i can keep painting,out of my other creative skills photography is something i really enjoy doing too.

Some where i need to marry two photography and painting for me to get that extra push and inclination to do more of quality paintings.I need to keep the shutter clicking and brush strokes making their presence felt on blank canvas.

waiting for the beautiful picture...

SPACE TIME.

Space time is usually interpreted with space being three-dimensional and time playing the role of a fourth dimension

Very true and should be because it is proved by none other than Einstein.But in modern days i feel the definition has changed over the period. Now each one of us need their own SPACE and love to move on their TIME.Nothing has remained as universal constant.

When i talk about my space and my movement i rate my self high up there, as for me time is the most important thing in life its money, its love, its passion, its relation,its life,as everything revolves around time.Every time i commit a time to deliver things or be present somewhere then somehow its start playing on my mind.The commitment of time for me has grown over me and by now its equal to a giant.I can never be late at things that i decide time lines on.I make it a point to be present approx 15 Min's before time.But the only negative part of it is i start expecting the same form others which i think in today's world is asking for too much.

Today time has different interpretations for each individual,the same 24 hours of time in a day is 30 hours for some and is 20 hours for few others.I would place myself in the category of 30 hours as i love to be busy.I enjoy multitasking and doing many things at same time.Many would call me insane for this, but somehow i enjoy it.I cant see myself sitting ideal doing nothing;it kills.

Talking about space i am very flexible person and would adjust myself in any mode or format.I would be part of any environment would also enjoy it if i have good people around me .People with similar thoughts who move at my pace and think on my wavelength.This is not the case with many as they wish to have their own SPACE.I don't understand this concept of MY OWN SPACE.How can a universal term of space be divided for every individual.

I feel SPACE & TIME are two constant and they should still be described by the universal law of nature and we should not get bothered by the fact in which time frame we are living and just be happy about the fact that in today's world we have time to do so many things and have enough of space to live a healthy happy life.The fact is we don't even need any more space than our physical size.The size with respect to universe described by our position in free space.
