My perception about Art, melody, photography

Music has been my first love. I spend hours sitting in my couch listening to variety of music (instrumental, vocal,) ranging from old classics to today’s fusion music. I have a soft spot for the bhatiyali, baul, kirtan, with which I get connected to my roots. The wordings penetrate through me and unite me to the world of love and humanity.
Art is a language that all people speak and has a symbol system which is as important as letters and numbers. It integrates mind, body, and spirit to provide opportunities for self-expression. Any form of fine art creates a seamless connection between motivation, instruction, assessment, and practical application and develops both independence and collaboration.
It is a platform which endows with immediate feedback and opportunities for reflection which I feel merges the learning of process and content. It exercises and develops higher order thinking skills including analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and problem finding.
Now, I realize that watching a painting is a type of meditation. The best imagination happens in people whose training is of some other discipline. Unlearning is the best process of the actual learning and people should learn things by comparing. Our world is a harmony of basic identical prototype in different disciplines.
I always believe that Transformation is constructive & Repression is destructive.

My sense of art & aesthetics

It’s all about one of my childhood feelings that came naturally to my mind, which I tried to analyze with my knowledge, experience and further studies. I read several books and words and took the advise of my parents to justify my feelings.
Many a times I experienced that I did not even wish to look at one painting in a particular exhibition, but may be next day or some other day the same painting inspired me, or rather I would say, forced my inner self to respond to it.
That was a big question,unanswered to myself.
An Artist once told me, “Well when you grow up and understand the painting you will automatically start responding to it”.
Initially, I accepted this. But after some time when I came across the same painting and I was surprised that again I did not wish to look at it.
Why was it so?
When I told my friends about feelings they laughed at me being irrational.

Such incidents happened in my life many years back. I experienced the same thing again and again. As I matured with age it became one of my best amusements to experience such incidents, and I tested myself at several occasions. Slowly and eventually I realized that there must be some strong reason behind it, and one day I shall be able to analyze it and till then I will enjoy without letting others know about this...

A painting, a piece of music, curves of human body, an act of sex, a sculpture, an installation, a public art, an architecture, – everything conveys messages to the body and mind Mechanism. My body & mind reacts according to the present status. Initially, this was very complicated to me because I was not getting a proper explanation. I am a Mechanical engineer and latter I had done my software engineering, commercial art, desktop publishing, Fine arts and I always used to believe in scientific reasoning. When I was taught Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) in my Software Engineering session and I started analyzing everything around me in view of OOAD, one day I was surprised to identify myself separately from my Body & Mind Mechanism and that also with scientific reasoning. Heart & Brain are two physical entities of that Mechanism.

My physical identity was created, when I was born and the identity will be destroyed, when I die. My second identity is social. Thoughts that come from Brain and Feelings that come from Heart are two reusable predefined modules that shape up my behavior and character, which actually establishes my social identity. 'Myself' is nowhere in Brain or in Heart. Myself is a virtual entity, which is the 'Soul'. Creativity comes from the soul, which cannot be practiced; I ought to believe this. This is the existence of 'HIM' within me.

My childhood days

I spent my childhood till the age of 7 at Rajasthan in a colony built up on the steps of the hilly wooded area 20-25 miles away from the Kota city for the engineers working for the construction of barrages on Chambal River. My father was one of the senior mechanical engineers and the officer in charge of the heavy and light vehicles. My father had 6 years of service contract with the company, which finished when I was 7 years old. My formal schooling could not be availed there, but my parents had trained me during this period.
My father was my Friend-Philosopher-Guide. He used to say, “Your natural spontaneous likings might be the natural needs of your Body and Mind”. At that young age I accepted is as a general statement but later I analyzed & found several entities: ‘Me’, ‘My likings’, ‘My needs’, ‘My body’,& ‘My mind’. For the first time I realized that there are so many entities and each one has its need, fatigues, and commands on other entities, spontaneous relation to nature, and Then, I found myself separate from my body & mind.
Search for my “Self” began, then…
