BHARAT NATYAM DANCE

  Bharat natyam dance form is one of the ancient dance forms of India. Its basic postures called " aadaau " had been derived from the postures of THE BOOK KAMASUTRA BY BAATSAYAN ( CHANAKYA ). It's bending your legs in halfseat posture and stretching your hands and neck - this the dance form starts. In South India "The Devdaasi prathaa" was predominant from the very yore. Devdaasi performance in front of The Idol of Gods was common on those days. It was pure Bharat natyam dance that they performed.

 Sun and nature is directly controlling our beauty consciousness. The whole world is using nature power to protect the skin and hair from Sunray, dust, pollution and other damaging agents. It's obvious that high degree of Sunray can damage your skin and hair. But always applying sunscreen is not good too.

Stream of consciousness drawing

Image
 Normally we draw something seen in reality,be it a train,tree,car,man, animal, object and so on. It's called realistic drawing or painting. But some People have power to draw something unusual or special which looks meaningful or thematic. Real object special effect creates a special kind of drawing. It's called abstract painting. Today I am presenting a drawing with colour pen which can be called stream of consciousness drawing. Stream of consciousness is a term used for a special kind of literature in which topics are written basically on the matter or the flow of Thinking that's coming consciously to your mind.

Childhood Puja Days

Image
 As a child,I liked to offer puja and devotion to God. My play items were conch, koshakushi, bell, Diya, Chandan Pataa, and all puja items. I plucked flower from our roof trees and offered to Idols kept in our home. I had a small wooden tool where I kept the photos of Different Gods and goddesses. I went to temples and liked that vibration. Temple ground called naat mondir was my best playground. Coming from school I offered evening prayer to God. Loved meditation with candle or diya burning bright.  Some questions I used to ask myself that who am I , where did I come from,why people suffer, and what is the mystery of creation? I felt Spiritual vibes since childhood., rarely went to outside and always longed for a vacant place or room which I never got to avail. I lived in a small old flat of North Kolkata,joint family ,where a corner of our room was used to place Idols.

The waste time ( a nonsense poem)

Image
 Some uncomposed thought Came in mind  Which scribble brought. I sat like nothing   tried to and cloud caught. Colour pens helped me a lot. I released myself  But tried a bird and caught. It was impossible  But I hard faught and faught . Hasty thoughts to compose myself  Deep in the mind delve  Digging soil, digging coil Leaving cold water to boil.  To bring something bright  Looking towards sky To catch a kite.
