BLUE PLANET

                                                                      EARTH

This is a hand painting , well maybe I am putting too much of hand paintings but the feeling of having a planet on your hand is quite unique .It won't be a hand painting next time.....
This  is our planet, the blue planet as obvious by its color. We started here as ancestors of apes
but now look at us. Who would have thought of a species like us ruling the planet? Dinos would have never I bet! 
But what is happening now is serious, more serious than a miracle friends .
We are exploiting what we call our "mother" Earth. this is our home -the future of our generations to come,and we are sitting on our couches watching it get dirtier and polluted day in and day out.
Why? Are we not Earth's children? No government can save the planet unless and untill 
we participate as one and come together not like representatives of various corners of the world
but as brothers and sisters. 
I request you to just remember the basics- the three R's nothing more.
REDUCE
REUSE
RECYCLE
Do not pollute the streets because they are not your home.This planet has given us everything - LIFE for
an example. This is our home. Every bit of it is our home and its our responsibility to save OUR HOME.

SUICIDE- A TENDENCY TO DIE

                                    "SUICIDE"

                                        A HAND PAINTING 

 

Don't be afraid ,I've not cut my hand, this is just a hand painting but there is 

much more to it what I want to convey in this description.

"S-u-i-c-i-d-e" is a 7 letter word that makes the difference between life & death for

many. Its the result of compressed emotions generally - unrequited love,jealousy &

situations like excess debt , poverty. There can be several ways and reasons that

a person who owns truly nothing but his/her life lets go of it.

Suicide is a hard decision - ought not to be taken.

Cowardliness is the great sole reason behind it for otherwise you are a brave 

soldier who for his last wish decides to die by his bullet rather than his 

enemies .  

There is always hope and when a person is suicidal the path to life is 

just a few seconds of calm mind away. There are situations when people 

face a phase of do or die.

If there is something bad in your life and you can feel it,

it simply means that you have felt the good things too or you would not be

able to make the difference between the two.

If you know someone who is suicidal try to give him/her the proper

psychological treatment , support the person emotionally and convince him/her that there 

is much more to life than that person has seen, that he/she can yet decide to 

LIVE and have the hope for a better future, that only the sufferer can 

help himself get through that hard time by being strong.

       "You and only you can make yourself happy even in hard times."

Live and let live.Think about others(those who care) before taking any hard decision.

RANGOLI ---- ART ON FLOOR

   " FEATHERS "

PEACOCK   RANGOLI MADE BY COLORED SAND ON FLOOR-

That's a rangoli (sand art ) made by me on tiled floor.

Rangoli's have a great history originating in India .

Its a sign of welcome, good luck and is often used for decorations occasionally.

It can be in the form of geometric shapes or represent historical events, messages,

deities and are made using colored rice,flowers, or colored sand. 

Earlier they were made using atta (flour), haldi (turmeric) and sindoor (vermilion).

These days modern colors have offered a variety and rangoli's are being used

in awareness programs to pass the respective message , mostly the environmental one.

They are generally made on Diwali (the festival of lights) and Holi (the festival of colours), 

Pongal, onam, in India.

Its traditionally made by women and the talent is passed on generations to come.

The tradition keeps art alive and interests the children to take part in creative 

designing from the very beginning.

  

LIFE AND CREATIVITY

Read this- its worth it for those who love creativity and know the value of time.

On this post I am putting up my thoughts instead of a painting. 

We love creativity no matter in what form it is till it soothes our mind and touches our heart.

Colors speak emotions that don't have words and to  know those emotions we better get to 

know ourselves.

And there are many things you don't know about yourself  too .We are humans and God has created 

each one of us for a purpose. You will create better than ever if you know that purpose of yours.

There is no heaven or hell everything is here, yes right here you will suffer and it be here that

you find happiness.

Great men are great today because they found the purpose of their being and gave blood, sweat,

tears to that purpose.

Ask yourself what are you living for?? 

"Why me ?" is the wrong question. The right one is "Why not me??" and that "not"

is the answer to all the problems in your life. It will give you the path of your "purpose" 

and through discipline you will reach it. Stop living a life in which you are wasting 

seconds-minutes-hours and still not satisfied!

Make peace a hunger and then create - go forward "live" life. Give every second its value in your life's

purpose yet wait for one or two to look at the sky , the stars, and try finding your true emotions because

then only you will be able to make a masterpiece out of your life.

HEART

HEART HAS "A-R-T" AND THAT ART WILL BE FOREVER MYSTERIOUS.

Our brain decides our actions but what makes us who we are is our heart. Money can never buy 
you true love and hearts of those who care for you. Nothing can buy you hearts if you are in no-one's
heart. A person with a good heart is like sunlight in everyone's way he passes through in his life,
he radiates positive vibes.
A good heart consists of care,affection,love,joy,passion and all the good emotions you can ever
name, our heart hardens with time instead of becoming soft,welcoming and trust withdraws at an accelerating
rate, maybe that's why we have heart attacks. Have you ever thought why children are so happy?
They have pure hearts. Why can't we be kids again and enjoy life as before? Well its not possible for now as the time travelling machine is not in the market yet.

"MEMORY ALWAYS OBEYS THE COMMANDS OF THE HEART"
                                                             -ANTOINE RIVAROL
You cannot kill heartaches by painkillers, only kindness , forgiveness and purity can cure it,
and that you have to find it yourself as there is no place as peaceful as in your
 soul.So just go ahead, stop for a moment in your busy life and for once find that peace by
listening to your heart. You can keep others happy only when you yourself are happy and involved
with all your heart. Love , care and be good to all who are the same to you,
try not to break hearts as you would never be able to cure  it fully. Let go of all worries and let 
your heart out, for you do not know when- at what moment it will stop beating.....................

"Love myself I do. Not everything, but I love the good as well as the bad. I love my crazy lifestyle, and I love my hard discipline. I love my freedom of speech and the way my eyes get dark when I'm tired. I love that I have learned to trust people with my heart, even if it will get broken. I am proud of everything that I am and will become."
Johnny Weir

"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."                  -Emily Dickinson

Sketch (assassin's creed)

                         SKETCH 

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is a 2010 historical fiction action-adventure open world stealth video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the third major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, a direct sequel to 2009's Assassin's Creed II, and the second chapter in the 'Ezio trilogy'. The game was first released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November and December 2010, and was later made available on Microsoft Windows in March and June 2011.

The story is set in a fictional history of real world events set in two time periods, the 16th and 21st centuries. The main portion of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood takes place immediately after the plot of Assassin's Creed II, featuring 16th-century Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze in Italy and his quest to restore the Assassin order, and destroy his enemies: the Borgia family. Intersecting with these historical events are the modern day activities of series protagonist Desmond Miles, who relives his ancestor Ezio's memories to find a way to fight against the Assassins' enemies, the Templars, and to prevent the 2012 apocalypse.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is set in an open world and presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on using Desmond and Ezio's combat and stealth abilities to eliminate targets and explore the environment. Ezio is able to freely explore 16th-century Rome to complete side missions away from the primary storyline. The game introduced a multiplayer component to the series, portrayed as a Templar training program.

The game received critical acclaim along with multiple awards including a BAFTA award for Best Action Game. It was followed in November 2011 by Assassin's Creed: Revelations, a direct sequel that served as a conclusion to Ezio's story and continued the story of Desmond Miles.

WHITE TIGER

                       WHITE TIGER

“When a man wants to murder a tiger, he calls it sport
when the tiger wants to murder him,
he calls it ferocity. The distinction between crime and justice is no greater.”
                   ------ George Bernard Shaw

We have adored, quoted, written about tigers for centuries and everything was going well so far but for its rareness. Now things have changed with only few white tigers left in the world. 
Those rare blue eyed, black striped cool creatures
that will be soon heard in fairy tales and will be 
googled as latest extinct species.

them naturally and are captivating them to serve economic growth of zoos.
 They are special and every tiger is endangered knowing that we are treating
these amazing creatures as a matter of attraction. Here are some amazing facts about white
tigers-
1. A white tiger is not an albino.

2. A white tiger has blue eyes.

3. Its true origin is not from Serbia but from India.

4. Its born bigger than its orange striped brothers.

5. The chance that an orange  tiger may end in being a white one is   1  :  10,000

Albert Einstein

  “Albert Einstein”

“When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second.
 When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour.That’s RELATIVITY ! ”

                                                                   

This is one of my favorite paintings that I have posted for this blog. 
Whenever  we think of science the

the E is equal to m * c square man becomes the first thought in our 

mind automatically. That's the greatness

of Albert. 

When Albert was a child he hated grammar as a subject but developed

deep interest in mathematics and physics.

He left school when he was15 and went with his family to Milan. There he completed

further studies. He spent most of his life as a

professor.

After his theory of relativity was proved

he became famous and successful overnight

and ALL newspapers and magazines mentioned him. He found the relation between 

Energy and mass.

He wrote a letter to Roosevelt (president of

USA) about possibility of atomic weapons.

In 1946 he proposed a world government

as the only way to achieve peace.

He will continue to inspire us forever.

"Only two things are infinite , the universe and human stupidity,

and I'm not sure about the former"

"A person who never made a mistake 

never tried anything new"

                                      

 - ALBERT EINSTEIN    

So Keep making mistakes and never

be afraid of trying new things.

INK -DRAGON

                 INK   -DRAGON

  

“We are our own dragons as well as our own heroes,and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves.”

              ………………TOM  ROBBINS

Ever since we are children we are made to believe in dragons,well its been an interesting 

question over many decades

 WHAT ARE DRAGONS ??DID THEY REALLY EXIST??

DID THEY SPIT FIRE?? A MYTH OR A TRUTH?? 

They have influenced our lives and many cultures . Dragons have been a major part of Chinese culture and they will continue to be so.

Dragons have been researched by scientists,

history scholars philosophers and even children.A dragon is believed to be a sign of

strength and good luck and often referred as  

 a luck dragon. It has been surveyed 

that they   are one of the rare topics 

that every age group has to be interested in.

Lets hope them to influence us till the end of

infinity.

                    "Tears are the words the mouth can't say nor can the heart bare"
                                                                        -------Joshua Wisenbaker                                                                        

                                                 "A broken heart bleeds tears"                                                                    -------------------------Steve Maraboli 

There are many to give us tears of sorrow but a few who give us those of joy.

Its easy to cry sometimes and strong people cry too, they too have emotions.

Sometimes its better to cry instead of living with a heavy heart, taking our 

frustration out on those we love,and try not to hurt our dear ones.

         "Guys always think tears are a sign of weakness.They are a sign of

          FRUSTRATION.She's only crying so she won't cut your throat in your sleep."            

                                                          ------------------------------------------Donna Barr

                   

                     Da Vinci once said "Tears come from the heart not from the brain"

Never cry for those who will never cry for you.

All we have to do is do whatever possible for those who give us tears of joy and

beware of those who have brimmed our eyes with tears of sorrow.

Sistine Chapel (Rome)

  Sistine Chapel:

As I have dedicated one post to MONA LISA how can I leave this one?So here are some amazing facts about Sistine Chapel (Rome)-

1) When first asked by Julius Michelangelo did not want to paint the ceiling

2)He first found it unpleasant and wrote a poem about it

3)The restoration undid the work of Pope Pius IV

4)Most people believe that the painting was painted by Michelangelo lying down
that's not true instead he designed special platforms that made him stand above.

5)Michelangelo considered himself a sculptor rather than a painter.

Mona Lisa the Masterpiece

Mona Lisa

 "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

                                                                                         -Leonardo Da Vinci

This is obviously not made by me but as its the most celebrated painting in the world I am glad tohave dedicated a post to this masterpiece by Vinci and I am presenting some really interesting facts about it.

1)  The painting has an imperfection. In 1956, a man named Ugo Ungaza threw a stone at the painting. This resulted in a small patch of damaged paint next to her left elbow.   

2 )  The identity of the woman in the painting is still a mystery. Some believe that it is the female form of Leonardo Da Vinci himself. Most popular belief is that the woman was Lisa Gherardini, who was 24-years-old and a mother of two sons. 

3) The name of the painting, Mona Lisa was the result of a spelling error! The original name of the painting was Monna Lisa. Monna in Italian is a short form of Madonna, meaning 'My Lady'.

4) Another interesting fact about the painting is that the woman in the painting has no eyebrows. It is rumoured that it is because when the authorities were trying to restore the painting, the eyebrows got accidentally removed. However, some people believe that Leonardo Da Vinci never completed the painting because he was a consummate perfectionist.

5) The painting in the Louvre has a room of its own. It is protected in a climate controlled environment and encased in bullet proof glass. The room was built exclusively for the painting and it cost the museum over seven million dollars! 

6) Studies have shown that there are three different layers painted before the present version of the painting. One version has her hands clutching her arm instead of the chair in front of her.

7) The painting is considered priceless so it cannot be insured.

Aura

             “Life is what you make of it”

Aura –  is my first imaginary painting on this blog.

For a true saint the painting would be a green tree in broad daylight but for us , we have

goals to reach, desires yet to be fulfilled and “love” that will always hold us from letting

go( to not reach a stage of neutralness from our positive and negative opinions).

Well you can for sure make out the happening of day and night both at par simultaneously. There is

always something good in everything and even good things have side effects. It simply represents a

human soul that can never become perfect and has desires but for true saints. We are human and

everytime  in life we make opinions and prejudices sometimes good sometimes negative.

Different people have suggested variety in thought of theme about it.

Some have said its my version of Yin & Yang ,others have suggested the converging tree

 a representative of the divine eye.

All we have to do is live everyday to its fullest  and be what we are. “Humans” for instance and take part in forgiving and move forward in hope of daylight  as many of us are far from the “true

Saint” condition including me.

Bob Marley - A Great Soul

“You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice."                                                                                   -Bob Marley

Bob Marley - a great soul -Well cutting unnecessary details and I apologize his fans for  skipping some years and now coming   to a short summary of his life.

We know him as a great musician, an artist,a guitarist and the way he lived his life fighting till the end.Bob never saw his father after the age of five, his mother was 18 and father 50 and his father's family didn't accept the marriage. He was a rude boy at school and we can make it out from his songs.He worked with the Wailers till they disbanded and Bob was shot by protesters. He recovered and his album Exodus was released. While he was on tour for Exodus he injured his toe (playing football) and ignored the treatment till the album release. Fighting the pain he again released an album. Recovery was a great work by Bob. His albums told what the conditions were with fellow Africans. His music was revolutionary and touched the soul.He was planning a tour but the injury on his toe had grown to a cancer. Bob was warned by the doctors about his condition and they wanted to cut the cancer but he refused.Marley's last concert was on September and he tried hard to keep himself alive till then but death came tiptoeing and embraced him in darkness in May.All his life Bob tried to struggle and live at the same time. Though his body died his soul is still alive and he breathes in us when we listen his music. His music is immortal.
