  • The eyes of the beholder

    That’s where beauty lies, right? Similarly, being able to enjoy the arts is also a subtle art in itself. Here appreciation stems from the refined taste of the one consuming it – whether it’s by listening, viewing or reading it. Appreciation for art especially the classical forms can be a lesson in patience. Ever yawned while reading a well known classic book and blamed the weird English or slow pace of the storyline – been there, done that.

    Try slowing down and seeing through the beauty of how a few carefully placed brush strokes can create a wonderous marvel on canvas. Or how striking co-ordinated notes can bring music to the ears. Or how stringing words together can bring out the emotions in a prose.

    It’s about looking beyond the everyday chaos and tuning in beyond the daily noise to be able to find art in mundane. I won’t say it’s refined or acquired taste but prioritization of where one wants to spend their idle time

  • Cultural Traditions

    Are they society’s guilt traps to hold one back? Are they at times meaningless, irrational & outdated? Are you stuck following them with your head stuck in sand?

    Tradition & rituals without  context and meaning may seem like a headless chicken. Rather than giving you wings, they tie you back from making that flight. Try asking around and the elders are likely to snub you off or not be able to provide an explanation.

    Boon or bane

    So are you trapped for life, being a blind follower? How about trying to unearth the history, the reasoning the logic and then give it your own spin. Choose the relevant ones and take them ahead, tweaking for today’s world Make them memorable, joyous and create bonds for life with your loved ones. In short, traditions could be your present, as long as you learn to enjoy them, your own way 😁
