Paint a Patch Party!!

Best part about painting walls
- You get the choose the color, texture and pattern of the most bizzare idea in your head and see it materialize slowly!
- You feel you are in control of every stroke, every sloppy patch
- Or you could just get dead drunk and see a creamy white wall being hidden by your brush strokes guided by the workings of a disjoint yet cohesive mind!
- You get the privilege to skip a bath and look as ugly and colorful as you can inspite of it not being holi!
- Your adrenaline rush climaxes when those tapes come off the wall
- You could spend hours gazing at the slight contours, pondering over your mistakes, thinking of improvisations and dreaming of how to make it even more gorgeous
- Have loads of visitors to come and appreciate your nest!

Hey. I chanced on your blog as well, and felt like leaving a note.

Is that an apartment wall that's painted ? The pattern looks fantastic, how did you make it happen ?

CARNATIC BLUES!! I believe most people especially in the US have their primary goal to just be able to perform on stage. Back in India, it is not so. I feel for Carnatic music, one should go through rigorous training even after you feel that you have reached a stage where you can be giving a stage performance. The whole structure of raaga needs to be very clear in your head and the more you advance in your learning, the more you should go back to the basics and use them for all the raagas that you learn. Like for examples, the alankaras should be practiced with all the raagas and not just mayamamavagaula. Also, varnams should be really stressed upon before reaching the keertana stage. The more varnams you learn, the more strong you become in the ragaa structure. For keertanams, you should stress on learning the madhayama kalam keeatanam first for any raaga, then moving on to one having a chittaswarm and then moving on to vilambakalam keertanam for the same raaga. This way y...

What Next? I have been having these unnerving thoughts about the impending future. What is it that I have been placed here for? What is the bigger picture? Where do I fit in. I can almost feel that I am not here to do what I am doing right now. Wake up, smile, go to work, be physically present and spiritually absent there for 8 some hours, get out, try and find ways to keep my mind occupied. It seems a very long life for me to be able to keep doing this everyday. I will soon go mad if it continues. I keep looking for signs. I try to identify them and then bring them to fruition. I have been meaning to go places. So many places. But I need a travel companion. Someone with whom I will be able to share my experiences, interpret them and learn form them. This unrest, I don't know if everyone possess it. I have met people who are perfectly happy with their current state of existence. Who can carry on doing what they are forever and not complain. I on the other hand find it hard to breat...
