Everybody likes it.





Your Constructive Criticism is welcome.


Focus on the larger picture.Criticise whole heartedly because any idiot can do it.U criticise to fulfull your ego.And the idiot becomes the wise man. It does not need much intelligence to criticize or to complain. And cheaply you become wise; cheaply you become very intelligent.Everybody likes it.But the question is - why we are so ready to criticize?

All profoundly original art looks ugly at first.A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.Its  beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. It has nothing to do with the fact that other people want what they want. Indeed, the moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries  to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist, and becomes a dull or an amusing craftsman, an honest or  dishonest tradesman. He has no further claim to be considered as an artist.Its just pure  imagination.Imagination without skill gives us modern art.And i also know that one of the most vocal and  straight critics come for Abstract expressionism.I’ve been criticized for being on both sides of the scale. Criticism is the noise I block out automatically.But i love to hear it too.Art critics usually criticize art in the  context of aesthetics or the theory of beauty. As nothing is simpler than to complete pictures in a  superficial sense.I know i am not Picasso.But I know what I like.And whatever images my mind and brain  sees,I see them in such a way and paint them accordingly.Art, in a philistine world, is forever fighting its  corner.Frankly speaking works of any kind of art exist to give us pleasure, just like wines and chocolates  does to us.I've always been criticised for my works thin and big,but it has never lessened my confidence.

There are many artists who do receive recognition or success in their lifetimes, or if they did finally arrive,  it was shortly before their death.It is a cliche that artists starve in garrets, and when they die their work  may be sold for many millions of dollars.Most, if not all, artists have times when they are discouraged  about their work, or about how their work is received. Society doesn't always embrace artists, who are left  basically to fend for themselves, or art is perceived as a commodity, and there is talk about the "art  market," the astronomically high prices for art of the past, etc., leaving the impression that the value of a  work of art lies only in its investment potential.We paint and sculpt our dreams, our nightmares, our loved  ones, our future, our past, beauty, heroism, sorrow, and much more - anything that can be imagined and  imaged. As a Beethoven symphony is without words and still expresses a great deal, even to those who  know little about music, so art is part of us all. Those of us who make art have a special honor, and an  obligation to ourselves and others, to be true to ourselves and to share our vision

The reason I writing about it is because it gives me so much pleasure in listening and reading to the  critiques. I’ve been through my highs, I’ve been through my lows and I’ve been through the gamut of all  things in this business.But stll somewhere ,I happen to be very confident in my own skin and my creations.  It takes time to get to this place, just like it's all about embracing yourself and your body.It's all about  embracing my strange ambiguous abstract work too.Whether you like it or not.Does not matter to me.But  its a special request my lovely friends,please try your best not to write HATE critics.Too many people do not  criticise well.  Now, don’t start saying “well, we shouldn’t criticise at all” – totally, we should criticise!  But  there’s a way to do it properly & soberly. Each one us can do that softly and in a positive way.Most, if not  all, we all have our times when we are discouraged about our work, or about how our work is  received.There is the idea that art is not a "legitimate" type of work; that it is a frivolity best saved for spare  time, etc., or a luxury item hanged on wall for the wealthy.For showing off their wealth.But for artists who  have a vision that they are compelled to share, art isn't frivolity or luxury - it's a necessity. And for society,  art is also a necessity, although this may not be realized by many. We are the spirit-keepers, the mirrors,  the candles. We revive the history through our paintings.And we need to become our own best friends - to  believe in ourselves and what we do. And stick together, rather than compete with one another.Maybe  some think that this means the activity of art takes no intellectual ability; I take it to mean that art-making is  a pre-literate activity coming from our deepest past, that all sentient creatures are capable of accessing  their inner selves to produce art.

No-one owns their ideas.  Once an idea is expressed, it’s out there in the open, in the ether, on the table,  so to speak. So crticise.But in a mature soft way.Some days I think I’ve become more tolerant of the criticism.But to be really critical, one has to be very compassionate, very loving. And one has to be ready to devote time and energy and intelligence. Then it is not criticism, then it is not inimical, it is not antagonistic; it is a friendly suggestion, a sympathetic approach. Everyone here should learn to be sympathetic.Because even if you agree or disagree with me or the argument and my work.I still delight in me  and art.To me, It is a drink, and a feast.

I want to finish this with a small request - It’s all about courtesy and each other's respect. Voice your open  opinions with little respect other person.That’s not asking for too much, is it?!!!!

Street talk!

                                                                         Gray Life on the street  More people in our country lack of homes today.They live under the flyovers,under old broken bridges,inside plumbing pipeline, near railway stations, road dividers, pavements - they are everywhere.Every single day.We all pass them by uncaringly. Daily. Even me included. It is not easy  seeing  someone trying to survive on the  streets  of the city, and our reactions can range from pity, to anger, to choosing not to  see  the person at all. ... what it's like to have no home. Homelessness is about more than just poverty.And on bone chilling winters s ome arere visibly distressed and freezing, barely able to feel their hands...

A nostalgic trip to memory lane.

Just some time ago i got in  touch with many of my old school pals through social networking site Facebook.Thanks to Technology which has brought us all closer.Connecting with long-lost friends is like checking out those class  group photo session.Whether its Facebook , Twitter or any medium of social networking,it helped me to connect with good old high school,my teachers,principal and college friends who I had not  seen or heard from in decades.Its been a topsy turvy life for me all along.But suddenly i was  filled with life meeting them though virtually.Which later on became possible in practical too.Felt those butterflies fluttering in my stomach in excitement of hearing them.Really the moment is so nostalgic & lovely to be able to know & see how gracefully we have all aged and how  wonderful they all are doing!I found myself in the muddle of my long lost friends.It was as if some  sort of telepathic connection that me and some of my old...

Fishing for a forbidden fruit called humanism.

In future we can see kids fishing for humanism. Last week ,on a Tuesday night as usual I sat down to check my mails, about what sort of links people are posting and the news of the day on in social networking sites as Twitter,Facebook ,Word-press & Blogger like where peoples heads are at, what the latest fuzz to follow and figure out.So we all know that word of mouth is the strongest form of marketing, whether or not you can call it marketing or just the way we interact with one another, and we see evidence of this all the time.Okay,well it’s kind of freaky and interesting sometimes.Whatever,I saw a lot of people & even Dalai Lama fussing & tweeting around about Human Values.For so hundred's of years now, Science, Technology, & Human Values has provided the forum for cutting-edge research and debate in this dynamic and important field.We owe much to the thinkers of ancient traditions, the scientific and social reformers from the Renaissance forward, and those of...
