Soul Aesthetica

Real peace, normally we think that it lies in achieving prosperity- money,fame, success etc.But these are actually the source of happiness. Peace and happiness is different in the sense happiness cannot be achieved by everyone but peace is always within our grasp which we normally miss to realise and grab. Here in the picture there is a human being with grief stricken face, overburdened by sadness. And the flying bird is a symbol of Soul in search of peace. The symbol of prosperity is the plant, the picture means that though one has prosperity still she is letting her soul fly in search of peace.  What I have realised that peace lies in independence and enough comfort of body and mind. Enough means that it should have a limit. Limitless hankering after ambition cannot bring peace. If your ambition is achieved you feel happy. But it can snatch your peace if the situation demands so. Hankering has no limit and it brings the cry of peace disturbed by your daily suppression of positive...

 Once a lady swan came to a lad swan telling him the sad story of her previous life," In my previous life, I still remember, I was a beautiful nymph playing a harp and living in a jungle. There came a prince for hunting and I fell in love with him. While proposed by me, he denied to make love with me,as I was not a human kid, the Prince could not have faith in me." He told," you are a nymph, I don't know how you were born,and I am a human being, so I don't think you to be reliable enough to make love." " Thus my emotion was unreciprocated and After my death I got a birth of swan." The lad swan said, " now please tell me, how can I help you?"The lady swan said," the only thing You can do is to reciprocate my feelings, you can take the place of that prince and marry me, I will be very happy then." The lad swan said, " you are thinking only about yourself,you didn't ask me what is my feeling for you? You are a selfish bein...

 Once there was a kite flying in the sky. The kite was very wise and he had two friends flying in the sky too. His friends were two small birds. They were quarelling about how much they have right to occupy the sky as their own property. They couldn't decide anything,so,they finally went to their friend kite and asked for his judgement on the matter. The kite asked,"what you both actually want?" They answered," We want to know who has more right to occupy the sky forever,we both are flying equally high for a long time,so, we think now the time has arrived when we should divide the sky zone as per our ability of flying high." The kite smiled and said,"I equally fly high but I never think to occupy the sky, the sky is for everyone and there is no one's right to divide and occupy it."  The birds said, " you fly high but your flight is dependent on human hands but we are independent and fly at our own will,so, the matter is different." The wi...

 ভবভুতি বাবু একজন অবসরপ্রাপ্ত ডাক্তার । শান্তিপ্রিয় নির্ঝঞ্ঝাট মানুষ , বিয়ে থা করেননি । শহরতলির শেষপ্রান্তে ছোট্ট দোতলা বাড়িতে থাকেন তিনি । কাজের লোক রামু সারাদিন তাঁর দেখাশোনা করে রাত্রে চলে যায় । অবসরের দিনগুলো ভালোই কাটছে ওনার । একদিন হঠাৎ প্রিয় বন্ধু অনিলের চিঠি পেলেন তিনি । অনিল তাঁর ছোটবেলার বন্ধু , থাকেন কোলকাতায় । পিওন এসে চিঠি দিয়ে গেলো । রামু ভবভুতি বাবুর হাতে চিঠিটা দিলো । চিঠি পড়েই ভবভুতি বাবু একগাল হাসলেন । বললেন , -" অনিল টা অনেকদিন পর চিঠি দিলো । কেমন আছে কে জানে?" ভবভুতি বাবু রামু কে বললেন -" অনিলের পরিচিত এক ব্যাক্তি দিন সাতেকের মধ্যে এখানে আসবেন । ওনার একটা কাজ আছে এখানে । দুইতিন দিন থেকে ফিরে যাবেন কাজ সেরে ।" রামু বললে ," ভালো তো ! কয়েকদিনের জন্য আপনি একটা বন্ধু পেয়ে যাবেন । " ভববাবু -" ওনার থাকার সব ব্যাবস্থা তৈরি রাখিস রামু , যেকোনো দিন এসে পড়বেন । যেন কোন অসুবিধা না হয় ।" রামু -" আজ্ঞে আমি সব গুছিয়ে রাখছি । কোন অসুবিধাই হবে না । আপনার চিন্তা নেই ।" এইভাবে আরও দুইদিন কেটে গেলো । তিনদিনের দিন রাত্রে ভববাবু অভ্যাস মত...

 Oh Cloud, you are the harbinger of Rain, Earth is broken down by Drought, Yours is the duty to pass the cool air, I am Surrendering to your will, Please send the Vernal Shower, From Heaven take away the Dryness tough, And send your blessings to my land. We are the Play dolls at the hand of Nature, Ours is the only duty of complete Surrender, I am a Lady having heart of a Mother, I can realise the Sadness still, There is lack of water everywhere, The tremendous heat is too much to kill. The Creation is going to turn to Ash. The only way is to Pray and Surrender, To bring out the kindness of Nature, Stopping the Destruction and Nurture trees, To win over the crisis and heat to decrease.

 Dry brush painting is a special technique where almost no water is used. Take a paper and draw anything you like, with pencil.Then take a water colour brush. Wet the brush with water and then press a tissue paper over it and squeeze out the excess water. Then load colour into the brush and put strokes on the drawing. The colour effect takes a dry look and the strokes of the brush hair remains visible. Base colour and highlight both are done in the same process.Wash out the brush and then again take the second colour.Here is an example of dry brush painting. You can observe minutely how the thing is done and try it yourself at home . Beautiful pictures and portraits are done using this technique. Always load your brush with a minimum amount of colour. Don't overload your brush with too much raw colour. You can load one brush with two colours at the same time. The technique needs care and intelligent handling of colour and brush.

 Once a princess had a Red feathered parrot as her pet since childhood. When the princess grew up, she felt that her heart is in need of a prince who can marry her. The princess sent her Red parrot in search of a prince who can become her suitor in future. The parrot flew to complete the search. After 3 days the parrot came back with a lad who was a very poor farmer boy and not a prince. The princess got angry as the parrot didn't come back with a prince.  The princess said, " who is he? I hate him." The parrot said,"he is your perfect suitor, I think." The princess - " I will never marry a farmer boy, go again and find out a prince for me." Now the lad said, " You are hating me because I am not a prince. But are you sure if a prince enters your life he will love you as much as I will?". The princess was silent. The parrot said, " I asked every boy I met that who will love you the most? This farmer boy answered in positive. None other....

 Diwali is the grand festival that people celebrate all over India, even in foreign countries they celebrate Halloween. To ward off darkness from life and bring light and hope to us - that is the meaning of Diwali. The deeper meaning is more great. The crackers we burst, the candle we exhibit; all means to boost up the inner power and brightness. And destroy the shattering effect of evil from the journey of life. Sun is the only source of light on Earth. We mould its energy in different forms to create different sources of light i.e electricity, fire, solar flares etc. We have created current from the flow of water too. There is light everywhere in our outer lives. But is there the true light reaching our soul in the tantrums of all worldly matters? The answer is a Big 'No'! The celebration of light has got a place in calendar itself. But all over the year there is only a faint beam reaching only a few souls. Other spirits are still now in slumber.To wake them up, is the most i...

 Finger painting technique is not so easy as it looks. It needs only colour, water and your finger tips to draw. Flexible finger is needed to do this art.Here brush is not used. So use your finger as your brush and draw the picture with colour. Wet your finger tips with water and spread the colour as per need. You can use your thumb for bigger strokes, index finger for medium strokes and the little finger for small stokes. Normally these three fingers are used in this technique. But you can use other fingers if needed. Here are some examples of finger painting. You can use multiple fingers with double or triple colour together. It creates a good effect as the painting progresses. Art paper or handmade papers can be used for finger painting. Water colour is the main medium for this kind of painting. Smudging the colour with fingers also is a technique in finger painting. But do not rub or smudge too much the paper as it will disturb the texture of the paper. Do not use too much wate...

  Near the sea there was a small sand hill. There lived a woman who used to be dressed up in blue. She used to sit on the sand hill and enjoy the beauty of sea waves coming and crushing on the sea shore. She used to spend hour after hour watching the scenic beauty and everyday she chanted prayer to the Sea God to give her a boon. The boon she wanted was to become a mermaid herself in her next birth so that she can dive into the sea and visit every corner of the deepest of the sea. One day the Sea God appeared before her granting her most wanted boon. He said," You are living honestly and in next birth you will become a mermaid I assure and you will be able to enjoy the atmosphere of every corner of the sea."  The lady said, " Thank you God for granting my Prayer and if you want to order me something I am ready to obey it." God said," I want that you spread the message of Truth and Beauty to everyone coming near the sea, that's my order ." The Lady prom...

 Relation needs two beings, It is the most natural thing, It develops in a very silent way, Making two beings most gay, Relation is like a joyful bloom, It can save our mind from utter doom. Relation means a bonding between two, It makes us rich in feelings and emotion too, It develops like a mountain peak, From bottom to top without any break, If a relation is maintained rightly, It becomes a tender glass holding you tightly. Every scratch of a relation glass is visible, It makes the bonding light and feeble, Relation is a thing to nurture lifelong, It needs devotees - Healthy and Strong, Often we see the breakage of relation, That leaves the people in countless tension. Trust is the essence of a true relation, Then love develops without quotation, The most abstract thing in our life, That is called relation with all vibe, Relation needs some special rule, Relation is a very great mirth mindful. The most soft corner of our mind, Cares for relation we need very kind.
