Light

There is no life without light. knowledge and intellect are equated to light alternatively called as  aura. Light defines the course  of the life forms on earth.  Some faiths have described soul  as form of light inside the human body.  Suicides are reported from places where light is scant for extended periods of time. It is a  proven fact that light deprivation can lead to mental depression. Keeping aside the essential lighting humans further  took fancy in  illuminating  their dwellings, streets and public places with progression of technology. Fanciful lighting always indicates colourful night life. Country's progress is read by the rate at which it's  energy needs are met. Those countries  who produce  power in excess of their basic needs soak in  gleam,never to black out.   Dazzling streets, well lit magnificent structures, night length of unasked  glow is true depiction materialistic well being for any country. It is  a world different altogether. If any such  city is to be named as city of lights it is LasVegas. It's energy needs can probably lit a small state  in India at the basic level.  How justified  it is to lit up a boulevard with blinding dazzles when a child finds his light not enough to read his class book in one part of the world?  ?  These are series questions which would  intrigue a conscious soul. Probably every man feels this way. But the system works  like this. Given a city  opting to  black out for years  in one society,  it is not going to shimmer a shack in another part of the world because countries are divided by boundaries with  each one having it's own resources and priorities.  Constant presence of poverty in one corner of the world were to deter the world's  indulgence probably mankind would not have seen one  LasVegas, spaceships, Hotel  Burj Dubai, Twin Towers, Disney Land, Qingdao Haiwan Bridge, Changi airpor etc. They narrate the episodes  of  great  human artistry attainment. They truly dispense pleasure to the spectator.  The one who witnesses  them may not live in those moments eternally , but  gliding by  those galvanized  minutes is good enough to  kick start his  life once  again.

Aesthetics Of Nonaesthetics


Thanks to University of Nevada, Reno for giving  me insights into new art forms. Brushes and canvas are fading and students are required to be tech savvy to create an astounding art piece in contemporary art world. I used my obsolete camera to snap few pictures  which are is no art in conventional sense but appealed good in template.

We Are Not Big Names. But What Stops Us Being So Cute ?





























Now I have a vague idea of  what was driving Wordsworth into woods.  I didn't know  how much I love these soft vivid  marvels  until I found them in plenty.
