It saddens me

It saddens me to see that in today's world people create perception about you based on what you are wearing and how you look.

Using art to send a message

For centuries the art have been used to convey messages to the mass, from Stone Age to the modern age, same process have been carried on. Even befor the languages were developed, the art existed, it could very well be considered as the earliest form of language. The cavemen used to engrave art on stone walls using pointed tools, now the pens, pencils and stencils have took their place. 

I am still new to making cartoon, I made these to send a message, to show the conditions of Indian farmers and the role of politicians in it. 

Comparing the perfect date with an important exam

       

   

You are a bit nervous, anxious, restless, probably haven't slept much at night either. You are hoping that the preparation that you have done would be enough, that all the effort you have put in would finally pay. But there is no certainty. All the practice in the world is not enough. You keep on picturing yourself having a memorable moment of your life. Thinking that it would all work out the way you have planned it. 

You cross your fingers, ask for blessings. 

You think that you know her, what her likings are, what is expected of her but there is still a seed of doubt in your mind which is consuming you, feeding off your confidence. 

Moments before it begin you could feel the butterflies in your belly, you are excited. 

You can't wait to sit across her and give it your best shot. Your future relies on it. You are wearing your lucky jeans, it had always worked till now and you expect it to work this time too. You are replaying the whole thing in your head, going through every detail.

You are looking for what you have expected all along. Even though there might be some blissful moments, you still question yourself, is it real or am I being tricked? 

Fifty Three challenging creative minds

A few mixes which I made for the competition organised by Fifty Three. It was a unique experience, watching so many creative minds coming together and sharing their ideas with world. I learnt a lot from it. 

Emotional interference while decision making

Emotions impede your ability to think rationally.

So whenever you are overwhelmed with emotions, either they are positive or negative. You should take a step back to take a look at the big picture and how your decision is going to affect it. 

In times when I encounter such situations, I take some time, let that emotional turmoil pass over. And then when everything is cooled down I make my decision.

The problem with most people is that they let their emotions interfere with their judgement. Recently a man killed a teenage boy because he was harassing his daughter. He let his emotions took over himself, which ultimately affected him and his family. He was sentenced to life imprisonment 

We have all heard that adage that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. A man took millions from common people in exchange of getting them selected for government jobs. Those common people in the hope to get government jobs gave all their hard earned money willingly. But after the results came out none of them were selected and the man who took their money was nowhere to be found.

You must always keep your emotions in check while making decisions in your life.

The beauty of Mother Nature

A few photographs that i captured on my trip to village a few weeks ago.

My first blood donation

After spreading awareness using the posters that I have designed I thought it would be selfish not to indulge in this selfless act myself. So two days ago I donated my blood for the first time . It was a great experience, I was a little nervous at first but I went through the whole process. It felt great to know that what you are doing is going to affect and probably save lives. 

I thank the Red Cross who help millions across the globe. And i would be donating blood more often now that I have began. 

A hasty lifestyle

A video that i made few weeks ago showing how well are are trapped into our lifestyles. In this video I have tried to show the hasty lifestyle that we have adapted, how we are fading away into the crowd and not giving any time to ourselves and to those who we care for.

First fruit of this season

The first fruit of this season just ripped. I have been growing strawberries from past four years. I find gardening could teach you a lot of things. It's like life, the goals that you work for, bit by bit everyday until you get what you want same as the gardening you pour water and take care of the plants everyday until you get the desired results. Like life, it is going to test your persistence, your patience and your punctuality. It is not an easy task but in the end it would be worth it.

 

Gardening have a soothing effect on me, the sight of those small green leaves with red fruits is a welcoming sight. It influences you greatly, for a moment you start to loose yourself into the beauty of it. It takes your mind off the worldly surroundings and you feel close to nature. 

Some captured moments

A few photographs that I captured on my recent trip to Delhi.

All true faces

Tell me is it really possible to truly know someone. After all I have been through I find it hard to believe. Someone once said that, give  person a mask and he will show his true face. Have we all put on masks .......hiding our true selves...... fearful of the truth.
Is it the fear of being naked in front of the mass because they are afraid what opinion others will hold of them or they are all hiding because the truth will make them vulnerable. 

I found thousand true faces of someone, all presenting compulsion to be believed,  trustworthy, pleasant, but as soon as I turn, the color changes.

 Are we all mere artists? because I fear in the chase of showing their false faces their real identity would parish. And the masks they have all put on will become their identity.

Donate Blood , Save Life

A few posters that I have designed to support my endeavour of spreading awareness into the society.

My first tablet

A few pictures that I captured while traveling to get my first tablet (iPad) from Connaught place, Delhi.

The knowledge that I was unable to spread

I have always believed that knowledge is power. The one who possesses the most is likely to be more successful.
I have been associated with EDx.edu since  2012. I have accumulated plethora of knowledge and completed 5 courses of five diverse fields.
I think that it is laudable that they are handing over all that knowledge without any fee and I along with millions others are thankful for it.

While doing so I took personal initiative to spread it as much as possible. I told over twenty of my friends and encouraged them to be a part of it. But to my surprise not even one of them got through a single course, some only joined it just because I told them to do so. I found it peculiar that people are not even interested in improving themselves. It was really depressing watching them waste  this great opportunity. I have done my part but I can't force them to do anything that they are unwilling to do.

A piece of literature

(Few words joined together to narrate an incident , I wrote this one while I was sitting in an local library. Rather than establishing the scenario I took a different approach and started from the middle.)

Their hopes shattered as soon as they got the glimpse of him.
He was emerged from the darkness.
They were too scared to move, the blood froze into the veins, their feet felt like they are buried deep into the ground impeding any movement.

He was moving with a slow pace like he could sniff the fear in air.
Earth shattered with each falling step of his making a thud. He was sliding his long weapon along the ground, they could see the sparks emerging from the point of impact. It was a giant blade with a handle covered with shiny skin which was glowing bright in the moon light.
His appearance remained mystery to them , until he was a feet away from them.
He covered his face with a black mask making it almost impossible to discern any facial features. He was over 7 feet tall , truly gigantic with heavy muscular built up.
His body covered with some kind of strange sleeveless robe. It was covered with blood, one could see it moving, flowing within the cloth, forming different pattern. His blade came piercing the air and slayed both of them in an instance. The blood splattered all over his robe, but rather than causing stains it blended into the cloth. And the robe was once again the same as it was before. And the he decended into the darkness once again.
