5 Things believe it or not!

Life is a complicated fusion of things we believe and some we don’t, few we can see in reality some we don’t. Feelings, rage, anger, insecurity, love, jealousy.. so many things define what we are... Being religious, spiritual, atheist is a personal choice, so do having a believe in spirits, ghost, whatever you call.

Running a show alone both personally and professionally has nothing much to do with my top 5 things but yes I have somehow found peace practicing them.

• THINGS HAPPENS FOR GOOD: To keep things clear, I am not stating all those unfortunate abuse and molestation and accidents to be on the good book what I wanna state is things beyond our control or our emotional stability, loosing track once in life is all good. Getting caught for something unfair to else or letting your dirty secrets in open, if you think hard, few incidents in life happens for ones good. It gives you a chance to work on prior its too late. In-case you don’t believe, its totally cool!

• IT’S NOT IMPORTANT TO BE A INSTANT: We all are in a constant virtual touch with people all round the globe, whats-app BLUE tick is like any drug raising an urge to looking forward to, SEEN AT is again working on the similar lines. What one has to understand, things can wait!, there is no hurry to reply to ones forwards and surveys keeping your VIP work aside, there are things all round the day which needs your constant attention than those unlimited like and tag pings. It’s not even important to reply if your don’t feel like, let you give self a break, take deep breaths and initiate the conversation afresh.

• HONKING IS NOT IMPORTANT: Stuck in traffic! so do many others along you, its a chain reaction, and Honking is not gonna clear the way exclusively for you, sadly what happens is you raise the tension way more with the annoying noise pollution. Wait... respect the driver in front of you, and one infront of that and then in-front of that and so on...

• HAVE PATIENCE: Breath in and out is not any fancy term, its a practical theory, which actually works. We all are impatient, not in once in blue moon, but almost everyday. BREATH IN! BREATH OUT! Yes things takes time and good things takes time. Effort is a collaboration of your passion and how much you waited for ... if you want things your way, you indeed have to work but with patience.

• ITS NOT GOOD TO BE TOO GOOD: Counting your karma is one thing, but being sane is another. Life is unfair and its true. Survival of best is a basic rule how life moves and that doesn’t mean you take the shit as it comes along. You need to learn to give back as needed. You have a worth and you have right to tag yourself with it and if one questions, at times you need to let them show them a mirror.

5 underrated visual artist.

Whenever we call out the name artist we all think about those canvas or photography prints hanging on the walls of various prestigious exhibition hall or the known and unknown sculptures or the very limited edition automobile. Everything that is tagged of being talented. There is few jobs which is indeed artistic and completely underrated though we are surrounded with it. Skill is their mantra and they live by the basics to bend and mend things we want it to be.`Here are the 5 underrated visual artist we don’t appreciate highly.

• CARPENTER: I am pretty sure you have some piece of furniture right now next to you or you may be sitting over it as you read my article. Carpentry is a sure skill, knowing the basics to work with the right tools is not easy, its not easy to grab the precision to make the best, yet its the most underrated form of art making. Yes its a product we purchase for our day to day need but we make sure we grab it from the guy who assure the quality of making. So next time you look for furniture online or offline give a thought you are buying a piece of art which is affordable just because its underrated.

KEY MAKER: We all had our time when we wish to keep a copy of those tiny bits of metal which has its own permutation combination to unlock the lock you leave your house with. The art of key making may sound very silly just because we don’t enter any fancy malls or shops for it, they are mostly standing in one corner. Next time give a keen look at the tools they use you will be amused to see process all over again.

• TRUCK ARTIST: Its one of the very old forms of commercial art which is at present at the verge of extinction. I remember very well back in our childhood trucks had those amazing handmade illustrations all over, the driver and owner gives a good thought about what and how to decorate its Dulhaan! The taglines it carried were innocent, grammatically incorrect but hilariously amusing “Buri Nazaar wale tera mooh kala!”. I am sure the day is not far away when we will see the doors at an art gallery showcasing the amusing form of pop art. These painters are yet not paid handsomely and its a very undermined.

FILM POSTER ARTIST: Back before the days when digital printing came into the scene and became affordable by various film distribution vendors, there exist a group of painter who were responsible to make handmade posters and painting over the walls which acted as outdoor hoarding. Sadly the form of art is a mere vintage and struggling in its own way. I really don’t mind they coming back cause we all need something nostalgic around to keep self grounded.

• GLASS BOTTLE MAKERS: Making bottles and others from glass is not everyone’s cup of tea, it need sheer patience and skill. The base product is so gullible that it completely relies on the skill of the maker how it comes out at the end, a slight tilt and bend alters the meaning. If you have not thought why perfume and liquor is expensive its due to the added cost of bottle manufacturing, which is just not a bottle but a sheer art in itself. People who are into alcohol they for sure fall in love with bottles. In-fact there are people who are known to collect them.

To be honest I never started with the agenda of people reading in, in-fact blogging was never in my mind for a long time , until my brother really convinced me it to be an important part of being a creative.

Something which is very dear to me is body positivity, it took me a long time to fall in love with myself, have a sense of presentation and to accept the way I am, indeed I always try to improve.

But never the less I love helping people who think low of self, it is something I have realized which makes me happy and gives my life a purpose.

Few words which describe me are chatterbox, mix and match, risk taker, visual artist, avid cook and last but not the least a muay-thai enthusiast. Well the very aspect of healthy leaving is a combination of lot of aspect and what matters me the most if when I am most productive and it so happens that people who are aware of their good and bad and yet love self are at peace and reach their goals faster.

I invite you all to join me in my journey and help me connect with who think their existence is not perfect specially externally.

We all have scars, we all have those texture we keep thinking low about it, lets redefine beauty. Help me to help you to feel better about yourself.
