I believe inspiration is all around us. We just need to open our senses to see it. No matter at which stage you are, whether you are an amateur artist or an experienced one, you can face the creative/artist block (to which I'll mostly refer to as Miss. Stubborn in the following post). As an artist, I also face this mental block now and then. Believe it or not, this is not a rare phenomenon. This block occurs irrespective of your genre, age, experience, or area of interest and can be quite obstinate. It can bother you for days and can give you a real hard time, depending on how well you know how to overcome it. Sometimes we ought to be a little churlish and show Miss. Stubborn the way out. But how do we do that? As I mentioned in the very beginning that the inspiration is ubiquitous, we just need to see it. Now some of you might not believe this. So, here I would like to share a personal experience with you all. A few days back Miss. Stubborn decided to pay me a visit. She deci

The Bright and the Black

A sucker for stories, I seek creativity wherever I go. That doesn't mean that I like to dwell in a fairy world. Rather I am very much aware of the life happening around me so much so that it pricks me. It makes me ponder deeply on my very existence. Being aware of the conscience can be a boon and a bane at the same time (psst, it can be horrifying).  I make pictures, I make memories for others. Tbh, my photography is what makes me 'me'. I thoroughly believe that I am not a separate entity from my art. Whatever I think, whatever I see, whatever I feel, is reflected in my art. My art is conspicuous, transparent and yet capricious. My art reflects my constantly transforming moods and my thoughts and how unpredictable a human can be. It reflects the bright and the black, the happy and the morose, the blacks and the blues (pun intended). My art has helped me in realising that life is an amalgamation of different emotions flying and scattered helter-skelter and that embracing th

She Means the World

In frame - Yamini She is the dawn of the hills, the crinkle of the smile, She is the depth of the oceans, the colour of the Nile, In frame - Maggi She is the dayspring, the very first light, She is the morning that buries the night, In frame - Neha She is the chuckle of the river, the laughter of the mountains, She is the cuddle of a child, the sprinkle of joyous fountains, In frame - Pragati She is the calm of the evenfall , the ferocity of a sea She is the melody of the birds, the winters of glee, In frame - Artika She is the warmth of a fine spring afternoon, She is the rebellious brook, she is the summer of June, In frame - Parul She is the embrace of love, the rawness of snow, She is the dusk of woods, the sun’s eternal glow, A wayfarer on a happy spree, she is the gleam of Firefly, She is the fathomless skyline against the sky.

My Courageous Bird

My dear frightened bird, FLY, FLY, FLY high, Unfurl thy wings; befriend the profound sky, Discard your fears as no one can tame your soul,  Bantering with the breeze shall be your ultimate goal. Paint the world with your colourful wings, Unfettered is the soul unafraid who sings, It's time to accompany the wandering cloud, Fly, fly, lose thyself in the blue shroud. 

The Art of Connection

So, wassup peeps? I know that's not the most appropriate or a very pleasant way to commence a professional blog. But guess what? This blog post is all about connections and analogies, so it's really important for me to establish a similar connection with my readership as I do on my social media. On Instagram or any other social media platform, as a matter of fact, I talk about being eccentric and quirky, I ask you to go offbeat, accept strange and bizarre things, add colours and what not? That's me in real life so I choose to stick to my natural self in this blog post (makes life a lot easier). Also, me trying to extract the hidden literature student shall definitely take you to the world of Bronte Sisters, Joyce and Hemmingway. I think let's keep that for later blogs (although I love being a literature student and more than that I secretly enjoy the vast literature universe). By the way, you just saw a glimpse of me being a literature fan-a-tic (Shhh...stay inside
