'"And I will go on with my drawing." - Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) “It constantly remains a source of disappointment to me that my drawings are not yet what I want them to be. The difficulties are indeed numerous and great, and cannot be overcome at once. To make progress is a kind of miner’s work; it doesn’t advance as quickly as one would like, and as others also expect, but as one stands before such a task, the basic necessities are patience and faithfulness.

Cloud Atlas - Book Review

Author : ankush samant      Blog : Life Beyond Boredom      Date : 5/11/2013 6:46:00 AM

';;; A giant wheel in a circus, either makes you dizzy with happiness or scares you away with repulsion. When I read the first reviews of the book Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, I was unaware of this fact and struggled to know why the reviews were on 2 ends of the spectrum – some people said, one of the best novels that they ever read and the rest said that stay away, it is downright bad!

'Created the earth,So what should I do?There are people, plants, trees and animals,No big deal, no voodoo!Killing for a shilling, making a living,This is becoming a big loo!My eyes are rolling, pain is soaring,But, I don't have a clue!Is someone hearing me out? Don't give me a shout!Wait I will get a big screw!Hammering everyone, I said I am done!Still no change in the view!Clouds are coming, everyone's running,Ashes flew, phoenix arises anew!Stop this drama! I am no Rama!I am just '(...)'

'आओ कुछ कर के दिखाएँ,मंज़िल की तरफ़ कदम बढाएं।ऊँचे पहाड़ों की क्या हस्ती ? मैंने भी है कमर कस दी।मज़बूरियों को धूल चटाएं, आओ कुछ कर के दिखाएँ ॥----Aao kuch kar ke dikhaein,Manzil ki taraf kadam badhaein.Oonche pahadon ki kya hasti ?Maine bhi hai kamar kass di.Majbooriyon ko dhool chataein,Aao kuch kar ke dikhaein!'

' Once upon a time there lived a young boy with big dreams. The boy was a quick learner and wanted to be the best in the whole world. He learned the art of shoe making from the best master he knew of. He made shoes that were the pride of the owners and the envy of the rest of the world. He made the best pair of shoes for himself. The shoes took him out of his world, to a world much bigger than he had ever seen- a world that made his past world look like a tiny drop in the(...)'

The Madness Within

Jerry Pinto has explored the untalked, the untouchable, the ever existent - Madness! He didn't go into the biological or the physiological reasons of why a person can go mad, he has rather delved into the darkness that the person lives in after being declared(...)'

The inspiration that I got was that of a Tango with my photographs that I had taken on the night of Auroville Holi Tango Festival 2013. Enjoy with the quotes from the essay..."Tango, which sings of all these things and more – drugs, drink, desperation – was a soul balm....Tango is a(...)'
