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
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 Obscure post
i am rather pissed with life. this typhoid has cramped me like nothing before... im not looking for a job but everyone else is hellbent on making career suggestions to me... which in itself is very depressing... moreover, i want to travel, get out of my normal life asap. im sick and tired of interacting with the same and same kind of people everyday. pretty much on the edge, and stupendous man is not making it too easy either. some weird topic to fight about lands right in my life everyday. and frankly after a whole day of boredome i dont react too well either. in his defense he has been going through rather a lot in the last few weeks... ipl, stupendous' mom, my mom, my typhoid, work work and more work... but still not fair. i need a break and so does he, but then he is not my kinds ...bag uthaya, chal diye... he is rather the "let's plan it out, kitna paisa kharch hoga, kahan rahenge, kya mausam hoga, kya khana hai" and all that.
and now the plans have all gotten drenched in my typhoid... people care too much, i might die of a typhoid relapse apparently... (interestingly i just skipped a whole week of medicine, and im all fine... and that is not proof enough that i will live thru this life threatening disease) so, i cant go anywhere.
i am so bored that its making me tired... i realised that boredome can actually tire people out....by the time its evening i feel as exhausted as if i have run a marathon(not that it is likely for me to run a marathon ever in my life) and even then i have nothing to do, im sick of the 6000+ odd songs on my hard disk, im sick of watching re runs of himym. i am also sick of playing computer games, i dont wanna watch the nice movies on my hard disk either, AND i dont feel like reading!!!....obviously, i really need a vacation... after 6 long years in NIFT, i need a long vacation...but does anyone care? no, they all have other things to look after and obviously im being too derstanding(assuming it to be the opposite of un-derstanding). im being rather stupid, people say, that i need a break from this rut. they all understand that i probably want a vacation, but then it can wait... i dont really neeed one (btw, i know this post will amount to another of the non sensical fights i have had in the last three days.)
upsides:
i have watched some pretty good movies off late
i have been listening to music again, though now im not in the mood
i have caught up with a lot of old friends who i have not talked to/met in the last few months
i am finally a graduate (stress on "finally")
i have had lovely four weeks with my brother, though i was bed ridden half the time
stupendous man has had some time after the IPL ended and before the world 20-20 starts
i have finally upgraded the internet connection, therefore the speeds of my surfing have considerably improved in the last few hours of my life
I have had very good home cooked food in the last few days.
I HAVE TO RUN AWAY.
