My plan this time was not to have a plan. I feel we are loaded with too much information today. Informative, Instructive, descriptive, educative, illustrative, graphic and all other nonsense. Why should we rely on them? Why don’t we rely on our senses? Are we too scared to face what we don’t know?
Traveled alone, got stranded, lost my way, walked miles, drenched in rain for hours, slept on the floor and finally got lost in space.
One thing I learned is –you are never alone, there is always someone to help you, no matter how worse the situation gets, there is always someone.
I AM NOT MY BODY, SO DO NOT GO BY MY LOOKS. I AM NOT MY MIND, SO DO NOT GO BY MY THOUGHTS. [Everyone wants to know about everyone without actually knowing them. I hate lying as much as one talking about oneself. What if I tell you the truth? Less appealing, then TRUTH is less appealing.]
Not many fairy tales are written for Men. Drama doesn’t move men. Fictions don’t inspire men. Romance doesn’t excite men. They are truer today as they were in the olden days (Gays & feminists are excluded). Apart from the drilling of our Indian moral stories and epics I never had the advantage of reading fairy tales from the West. The fact is that I am not fond of FAIRY TALES too. My belief is Fantasies and Fictions are for women. Recently I was watching a movie ‘The beauty and the Beast’ with my niece, you don’t have much choice when you are with kids. This movie, I have to admit I was moved. A tale for men, finally. Our hero is not a prince charming, not a prince enticing, not a prince glamorous, not a prince handsome, but a BEAST. Certainly not the kind even a plain girl in this world will fantasize. Story is simple; A Beast turns into a handsome prince when he realizes REAL LOVE, when he realizes he can’t force love, when he realizes love is not owning but giving. BOOM! He is transfigured.
Being a little artist, a little writer, and from an advertising background, we look at things beyond the surface. This is how I interpreted the tale. The BEAST, to me is a common man with the male ego, pride, power and supremacy over opposite gender. A MAN is a BEAST, as long as he thinks only about himself, strives only for himself, dreams only for himself, and loves only himself. A MAN is BEAST, as long as he believes possessions bring happiness and power brings glory. A MAN is BEAST, as long as he takes everything and gives nothing. A Man remains a Beast till he earns love.
I find life interesting. I am inspired and influenced by Artists and Authors. There are no new ideas here. I would be lying if I claimed any. I am curious like a kid. I don't pretend to be an expert in any area. I don't want to impress anyone with my thoughts and works. I love what I do. I do what I love. This blog is a sum of my works+thoughts+interests.
