5 Things we should avoid over Facebook.

Who does not like getting attention, a little lime lights is always in their bucket list and there is nothing wrong about it. Social media platforms has given almost everyone the power to make self unique in some way. The buzz of being a Facebook star started a decade back and still we are hooked to it, sadly with all the advertising algorithm we push a little more hard to come to ones notice.

Here are 5 things one should avoid over Facebook

• TAGGING MULTIPLE PEOPLE: Tagging, is an option provided to let people know and specially bring the person concerned into notice. Sadly people add multiple names just to attract attention in the name of likes and comments. There is nothing more annoying for one to see itself tagged where the person doesn’t even exist in reality or least connected to it directly. Tagging one over a missing poster and birthday cake is not only stupid but its just let you present as an attention seeker. Tag one who should benefit or have anything to do directly.

• RANTING LIKE A CHILD: There is nothing wrong to bring people into notice about the matters it may concern like product review, service quality and more on similar lines. Its entirely stupid to rant about personal matter, giving away information about how your personal life is shaping up unless its meant to convey a message is totally pointless. Sadly no one is concerned if you having a bright day or got stabbed.. even if your a celebrity. Keeping personal life personal is one should start learning asap.

• POSTING CASUAL CONTENT: Yes, we love to flaunt how happy we are and how happening our life is, sadly social media has made us more judgemental than ever before. Giving away information even if its useless just adding to your personal info into public and you never know which crazy is stalking you from where. Be careful about what you post and how you present it, how you invite people to have a look and whom you mention.

• NO CASHBACK OFFERS ON JELLYBEAN: We all know those game forwards and request we often receive from friends or bots. Those silly challenges which is just a mere waste of time in the name of relaxation. Sadly they don’t pay and there is no cashback offer one will be interested to join in. Playing these games just makes your system more prone to things you don’t wish to know or better you don’t know. Be very careful about what you click!

• TIME HAS NO REWIND BUTTON: There is not debate we waste a lot of time being on these platforms more than needed, peeping into others life is so Balaji Telefilms. It’s an important aspect of life to be in touch with people for both personal and professional reasons but you don’t have to spend the entire day, life is still going on its own pace and being on it for long is nothing turning things into good. Making it a part of your breath is immature , use it as needed and when needed and spread things which does good to others.

5 Best things learnt being a visual artist.

I wanted to be a painter in my childhood, the wish turned into a dream to be an animator and it got turned into a passion of being a photographer. They are all three different things for many people but for me my desire to create an image never exactly took a pause, it just got bigger and more intense. All the three acts revolves around everything we live within, people, living and non living. Now dealing with three and creating an harmony is something I learnt as time passed by and I am yet discovering it. Creating visuals is my full time act past 11 years and I learnt various things which helped to be a better person.

Here are my top 5 lessons I learnt.

• SKILL OVERRIDES TALENT: I always heard good and got praised from people for my creative skills. My school friends used to submerge me with their drawing books to fill it up. My failure to pass the entrance exam of NID let me to be in MIT and my agitation led me to be into a BFA school. Lesson learnt: I learnt to come out of my comfort zone, face my fears and work over it, believing in my instincts do brought me to a right place but it took a lot of skill which I earned on my way to understand how things work. Its more of action which is required to nurture talent than just having the talent in itself. Actually one can do anything possible within its reach as long as the action is on.

• EVERYTHING HAPPENS HAS A CHAIN REACTION: No profession is independent in itself, hence making ones profession a priority is stupidity. Economy is a collaboration of many things. If my clients doesn’t make any profit, it does not give him a leverage to pay me for my service in a good way. If the consumers don’t react well to its goods and services he will not be able to pay his workers well and the cash crunch will affect the quality of life of the workers they can lead and so on. Money flow is healthy unless its bottled necked by something I may not be able to share now but I hope you can guess it right.

• MONEY CAN’T BUY EVERYTHING: There are something money can’t buy for everything else there is a MasterCard! a well said copy by an international company. A healthy lifestyle is not just about money, but how to monetize your own well being, physical and mental. You are good as long as you feel good. Counting your karma is a good way to keep self checked.

• NATURE IS OUR CONCERN: The conservation process is not just a responsibility of environmentalist. Our action when comes together impacts our surrounding. So do our views about other people. Yes I have been talking about recycling, reusing and reducing various products in my past blogs just because its a reality. So do how one behave with others when happens over amorousness times impacts ones believe about gender, community and even religion.

• BEING THE BEST IS NOT EQUAL TO HAVING THE BEST: Whatever be our profession be, we are always been sold in the name of making you better, make you feel better and bring the best in you which was hidden. Just wondering! How Asoka was great without them existing back then? The gadget craze is ridiculous and yes the urge is what makes one go for it and filling the pocket of others. Reality check: Its you who makes yourself great not some stupid combo wired fancy dush. My camera may sound expensive and worth in lakhs but it doesn’t make me a better photographer, it just helps me to reach my goal faster and work as per my need. My concept and composition is determined by my brain not by the machine, its just a friend of mine who helps me to bring them into reality, so do my computer or my pencil over a canvas.

Bipolar and Creativity.

I may sound a little overstating saying that all creative individual are bipolar or at least suffer with one or more psychological issues. By creative I mean almost all who are and who has a ability to think they have to mold things and bring something new out of it. Creativity is very much misunderstood with the very generic things like painters, musicians and dancers and that's the problem. Einstein was a genius but if you think a little easy he was a creative, a mastermind, so do Da-vinci and Van gogh... well the list is endless.

We have a conscious and subconscious mind and we have something which falls in between, Dreams! Yes I have no degree to state any conclusion but I have enough personal experience to let you share my views here. Artistic temperament includes major mood fluctuations, intense rage or calmness, surprising concentration ability or not. Everything we may determine as unconventional.

The IQ may differ but that’s completely subjective.Well why all major artistic personalities have or had such issues is quite beyond my capacity but its indeed exciting to understand how such things give ride to creativity.

I encourage others to join me, criticize me, support or simple prove me wrong. I personally was always inclined to drawing, my parents never stopped me sketching over the walls, yes it do costed them repainting the part and give me a clean slate, overall my parents knew I have an artistic ability since childhood. As I grew and things went a little serious in-terms of creating a profession out of a passion do make me introduced of the other self I have in myself, the other Shovona, who thinks unconventional who is very surprising and at times very bisexual. She suffers with intense mood swings and have severe anger issues. She suffers with depression and personality disorder. She is a very calm and orderly person while she is on action of creating a visual or letting her thoughts get a shape in some form else she is a serious no nonsense person who is just confused about its real personality. She is pretty clear about how she wants her things to be and what she wants yet she carries few traits where she is as conventional as others.

This very alter personality of mine has somehow helped me to push myself, hang on when I wish I should quit and think fresh or at least try things in a fresh perspective.

Van Gogh too started creating master pieces when things were really bad inside his head. Yes he suffered with multiple disorders. His paint strokes and colour sense is one of its kind till date. Da Vinci was way beyond his era and have layered many things over his canvas which was beyond anyone's capacity back then.

Many were not exactly functional but indeed many were true to its basics. The question do arise, if Talent bypass Skill and its a very complicated thing but not impossible. Talent helps one to grasp the skill faster but skill is meant for everyone again it depends on this nature of intelligence and how well its nurtured under external factors. Its a tiresome job for any set of parents to observe its child to understand its future potential, its indeed a task to come to any conclusion but its always a possibility to help his nature gets a lift up with best possible quality nurture it can receive.
