Brushing my blog

There were countless things that happened in past 6 months. Some of them related to art (Like getting the veteran artist award from AIFACS in New Delhi) to Art camp in Ujjain and few more some such event. Its unfortunate that i was not able to post stuff and got totally carried away in the flux of daily hum-drum.  There is one thing I know for sure. Blogging should be  like brushing your teeth. (Everyday). 


So lets quickly put the  past behind and move forward. 

Sometime back there was a disscussion about  Artists should/should not represent their times. Afterall how would you find them contemporary if they do not do that. Think of the caves of Bhimbetka  they do tell a story. or do look at Guernica by Picasso

I think there are artists who are like that but I do not  find my paintings having any semblance to the present times, they seem to belong to another category. I find the inscape of timelessness more alluring than the landscape of present times.


 A few lines I have wrote in my diary would like to share.

अनंत फैलाव के साथ रहना
अंदर और बाहर भी
एक आदत सी हो गयी है

जीवन में शुमार है पूरी तरह से

शरीर तो नश्वर है
और में चिर दूरस्थ गामी
अपनी क्रातियो में हमेशा रहूँगा

मेरी क्रातियाँ क्या पाती हैं
इससे महत्वपूर्णा यह है की
मैं अपने आपको को कृतियों में
नये नये रूपों में पाता हूँ

एक ही जीवन में विभिन्न फलकों पर
अनेकों जीवन जीना प्रफुल्लित करता है

On a happy note:  my youngest son (Yatin) will be getting married sometime soon (hopefully this year), Everybody in family is quite cheerful. and as expected my younger son's phone bill is sky rocketing :)
