The Wonders of Expression

Emotions can be expressed in various ways. Dance,music,art,literature.....the list seems endless. For me, writing is one of the most important forms of expression. A well-written and motivating article can move a country into rebellion and urge them to fight for justice. For example,'Kesari', the Marathi newspaper founded by Bal Gangadhar Tilak,a prominent leader of the Indian Independence movement ,ignited fires of fury and thoughts of an uprising in the minds of the Marathi people,which in turn led to a revolution that is still remembered today. Gandhiji's autobiography,"My Experiments with Truth" continues to inspire millions of people,not only in India,but around the globe. Novels, irrespective of any genre express a part of the author's vivid and wild imagination ,which many a time stirs a passion of writing inside many to-be authors.Art,another beautiful tool of expression,when interpreted correctly conveys powerful messages. Few of us are blessed with the talent of deciphering the messages hidden in those stunning abstract paintings. Expression is essential in life. Only when we express, can other people understand our true feelings. Without expressing, people will consider you as a blank human being or at times even shrewd! The Indian Constituent Assembly has rightly included The Right To Freedom as one of the Fundamental Rights of the Indian Constitution. The freedom of expression leaves every person to put across his/her thoughts....which can lead to great things.

Why Criticism Is Critical To Life

Let’s start with how we perceive criticism. It is our deep-rooted belief that critical opinions are directed towards us out of spite and jealously. A psychological effort to propel us downwards. It is our strong and utmost conviction that criticism is just people finding faults unnecessarily, a try to push success away from our clutches and possession. This indeed is a most likely situation but does not apply to every single person who criticizes us! Lets all face and admit it- no person reading this has ever been genuinely elated about receiving a piece of criticism; be it a curt ‘Bad Handwriting’ note from our teacher, a reproval from our carping boss or a verbal attack on our art and passion. Outwardly, some of us might try to appear pleased, trying to convince ourselves that this critique will enhance our personality; but something minuscule gnaws away at our soul, a deep pierce of dejection. It is human nature to crave praise and appreciation after perf...

Colour.

Colour breathes joy and life into every creation, whether ancient or modern. Skin tones progress from palest white and dusky wheat to darkest ebony. In the words of Rupi Kaur – ‘It is a blessing to be The colour of the Earth How often must Flowers confuse me for Home.’ A prism splits light into all of its magnificence. Stained glass windows in high-ceilinged churches make light dance across the polished wooden floor. The sun sets over the horizon and plunges within cerulean seas and oceans. Left in its wake are splashes of colour; crimson, orange and golden, skipping across the waves, cruising along the blue surf. Inky stains bleed across the sky as twilight approaches. The advent of velvety indigo, purple and black symbolize them regaining their nightly territory and thus ensues a clash of colour- a real-life watercolour over the ocean. Night tiptoes stealthily and the crescent moon glides, her creamy gossamer gown trailing and dipping into the water. It has floate...

When I Contemplate

The camera attempts to capture a moment- a fleeting second in the swirling whirlpools of time. It captures that moment and immortalizes it, framing it in eternity. Days may pass, years and even decades, but that picture will hang on the wall, making you travel back in time involuntarily. Suddenly, you will be thrust back in time and will feel as if you’re actually witnessing that moment all over again, like you did, all those years ago. It is, as if, no time has elapsed between then and now. Perhaps, that feeling is transient, but you cannot deny it. The camera captures what the mind perceives, what the eye sees. It enables us to hold on to the image formed by the thousands of electric impulses that zoomed from the optic nerve to the brain at that second. But, more often than not, we associate many moments with an emotion. Looking at the vast, all-encompassing cerulean ocean or the towering trees in a forest, I feel an unexplainable calm and peace. I question my existe...
