WHAT IS REAL PEACE?

Image
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 positiv...

RECIPROCATION (MICRO STORY)

 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...

SURRENDER (POEM)

Image
 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 TECHNIQUE

Image
 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.
