Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Silence the voices within. Go deaf to the voices without. Relax. And then And then feel the force that is in you. The force that has infinite power to do anything. Everything begins from there. That is what ‘design’ to me is. It begins from there, from within. It comes from the million things I have realized in my short insignificant time on this vast place. What I know today is the one thousandth part of what I can know. What evolves from there, from what I know is design. I inspire. I’m not god, but I try to take from whoever has thought beyond everything that exists. The stronger I feel that force of a noveau creation, the closer I am to divinity. It is not a novel idea, most feel that it is the artistic temperament. It is not, this is what drives humanity, what drives science, that is, to strive harder to achieve what has not been achieved yet. Design, create, acquire, discover, appreciate, learn… “live”

i philosophise
We have all suddenly started wanting things that are "not so perfect", isn’t it? Especially in the last few years.
But science still works for perfection… human mind seems to be striving for perfection and yet aesthetics still declare the imperfect as the fashion, or fad , whatever u may call it.
Its strange how human mind works, constantly looking for change but never accepting it when it comes to using that change. Things are always "forever". We think of things as stable as they are as of now “hamesha aisa hi rahega...” nothing can change. But, then we all are looking for change, always.
As fashion students we are told how to incorporate the want of change and make "them" buy what we make. Essentially not making anything new but definitely finding out what is it that the other people want and taking the chances. But even in our personal lives we are scared to take chances… but we do… coz there is nothing definite. We take a chance coz we don’t have any choice.
even if I "think all about it" I still know that my plans may not succeed. So, it is a chance isn’t it?
coz I guess it’s the imperfection and the risk that entices people… people who give up and die are those who know there is not a second way......
hope remains
Most people live a perpetual dream. One that by ancient philosophers is called “hope”. What existentialists denied, Most realists thought was a fool’s paradise, most pessimists crave for and yet keep it away. Hope remains in this incessant world of optimists that someday everything will be alright, things will move on. One will travel from the frustrations to a life of complete happiness.
Hope remains
insanity
In two different worlds… is it those who we call “insane”, insane??? Or is it those who keep making pretences retain more insanity than those who are locked up in asylums.
Lock me up, cause I am insane. And lock up those sitting at their desks, making war, with people who they don’t know. Taking it out on those who have nothing to do with the hatred.
Autumn leaves (yellow)

It’s time for us to cross-over again,
Walk the bridge that takes us,
from this warm bank,
To the other.
Time for us to reflect,
Time to shed the gains,
That the rains brought us.
And wait for the worms to come to us,
As our children carry us away.
Burial at sea,
Beneath an epitaph,
On a tower of silence,
Or just a gift to the flames.
And time for all the greens,
To ignite their fragile selves,
And leave the residue behind,
Yellow…
stupendous man(on the last minute way to submitting my design journal)
33,00,00,000 gods and more
as the jewel track goes
"so we pray to as many different gods,
as there are flowers...
but who will save your soul"
and there are... many gods, one each for different religions, castes, societies. there are fights, murders, terrorism over these gods. after all that is disenchantment. from our gods, we form our own gods. we follow cults, or become atheists, we don't believe. Humans have a tendency to slight everything else that anyone else believes. religion can kill you, and it can make you live, in hope.
people have their own way of bringing faith in their lives, and that’s what cultures and societies are made on. what brings them happiness is what god is to them. everything else exists cause we exist, we the living, breathing, talking beings. the mere fact that we live in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world. everything begins from that and ends there.

the rather unwell phase
now typhoid is a very irritating ailment to have specially for someone who has been planning a vacation since the last three months since she is graduating this year... she has "graduated" too, by the way.
Now, ever since i knew im going to graduate, i decided it was time i went out for an out n out break, not care that i dont have a job, and especially not care that im jobless and jobless. rather happy that i dont have anything to do for sometime and i can blame it all on something as random as "recession" and "job freeze" everywhere. infact people are more than ready to say that this is the right time to go out and enjoy, if there are no jobs, there is no need to be depressed. its the best way to deal with such desperate times. And i was, until recently very happy with the arrangement.
- Do the show
- Party all night
- Drink champagne
- Get drunk and happy
- Eat great "outside" food
- Get the hell out of the heat of delhi and enjoy...

wasted vote bank
this apparently is the dirtiest pre election game being played in the media. and i am getting various mails regarding the matter, including what is or is not possible by the current govt. or the ones to come. and its kinda confusing to be honest.
