We See

(Author’s first name) (Author’s second name) wonders what is “its complicated” relationship status on FB ?

Yeah this was meant to be status message but for analytical reasons turned out to be a post.
But …..err…. I have nothing to extend on this apart from say-relationships are complicated in itself, in anyways .Just writing for self concealment that one can still blog.
Is it Dying turned out quite self applicable and destructive.

Last weekend Author attended an Art exhibition .
And to my astonishment one of the artist’s work was based on or technically speaking was weirdly “inspired by “ sanitary pads!!.
Yes you read it right. Strange but interestingly new.
Other 7 artists exhibits took two rooms, while the pad-theme dominated the entry room. As they say "to some it’s art to others it’s controversy".
For a change photography was allowed and for a change we didn’t had camera ,Duh.
We all are aware of the fact that light source and optics related info is taken in account while sketching , but only after a brief conversation with the pad- painter and ma architect roomy ,I figured out that there is lot of technical and compositional apart from creative, touch required in this profession.

To understand art of any form for that matter, requires suitable taste . At times it may take time to develop it.But in the end acceptance is the biggest challenge artists face in general .Frankly speaking after this exposure I am sure I don’t poses taste for all kind of paintings .But at the same time I don’t end up ridiculing them .How much ever uncanny they might appear.But this is about visual arts , they at least get reaction.
It’s the literature sphere like poetry and write-up which suffers in terms of response from masses unless they belong to popular creator or brand.While Photography and music by commoner gains instant reaction. Obvious reason being patience required to perceive these forms .

For instance
1.Video
2. Photos
3. Audio- Music
4. Painting
5.Write-Ups like Blog/Article
6.Poetry

Upload above in Social media and observe reception. The hits are maximum in the order the items are listed above.

The fact is we respond to visuals more proactively.
Certainly the advertising world realized this  long ago and is cashing on it.

PS1:This is a post with no head and tail.
PS2: Train journey is fun if you have company.
PS3: Chetan’s novel - Two States stirred some thoughts which need to be addressed in some post.
PS4: (Author’s first name) (Author’s second name) wonders why am I into serious writing now a days? .
PS5:Where is the humor, where ?

Randomness from the Hard-Drive

Why should photos from mobile take a back seat ?Why should they be photogenic to be published ? And I have a huge collection of such .Before my laptop cries out for space and demads deletion , let them have 2 minutes of fame.
From here from there , from everywhere .
From now and then
