- illogical judgements lead to the new experience

- irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically

- if artist changes his mind midway through the execution of the piece , he compromises the result and repeats past results

- artist’s will is secondary to the process he initiates from the idea to completion. his willfulness may only be ego

- concept is a general direction, ideas are the components, ideas implement concept

- idea should be complete in mind before next one begins

-the process is mechanical, should not be tempered with , it should run its course.

i am going to re-start blogging here after months of hibernation.. cheers!

The city of Mumbai (Bombay) once again gets caught with extreme rainfall, with fall up to 200 mm in 7-8 hours, the city is getting paralyzed, waters are flooding low lying areas across the city, including railway tracks, stations, highways and streets, the roads once again have converted into rivers, the situation gets coincided with high tide in the Arabian sea, forcing the storm water drain gates to remain closed and drowning entire city, with water level in some areas rising up to 5 feet. 

As usual the blame game starts, media channels pointing out the scales of disaster, pointing out the authorities for the devastation, the Bombay Municipal corporation (BMC) and Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) raise their arms and hold the “nature” responsible, the city gets shut for time being, people suffer… and next day forget things by blaming it onto their fate… assuming such calamities are also the price one has to pay to live and earn in the “dream city” of India. 

The chaos gets into its action with factors like haphazard construction and modernization of the metropolis, the natural drainage pattern of the water according to the topography is disrupted by the building activity above it. The storm water drains are designed and made by the British, and were never upgraded to accommodate the raised water outflow of rain water. The existing system instead gets clogged by the garbage and debris, which in spite of BMC and MMRDA claims to be free of debris, have managed to fail extensively. Over million people living and working in Mumbai always wish to be on the other side of the game, i.e. to always become sufferers, they keep on clogging the city roads with traffic, keep on throwing garbage where ever they feel, keep on spitting which ever corner they find, they continue to exist as brainless organisms, never imagining the larger result of their causes. They would pay for piece of land more than anyone would pay in New York, Paris or London… but never bother to care about the cities infrastructure and physical state. 

The honorable prime minister of the country dreams of making Mumbai as Shanghai… but he wants to swim in the sea without moving any part of his body, India enjoys to live and spend Mumbai’s money for it’s development, but neither the central or any of the state governments dare to check and correct the ground conditions of this chaotic madness. They woo Mumbai in their own needs (…read elections) and later leave the city to it’s own fate, to its railway locals oozing out people, to its roads chocked in traffic, to its minnow drain system failing when its needed most, to its people who end their lives in search of better life in future.  

The city of dreams has to implement its fantasies on its own, remaining aloof from the degraded bureaucracy and wasted political manifestos, the organism has to function as an organism, in its totality and unanimous harmony between its cells. Intelligence and dreams are the ways to get ahead and get going…   

i have no fear…

it was very unfortunate event.. i feel sad for minal and all other 33 people who got killed in virginia, the grief is same when you come to know a terrorist killing hundreds of people by blast, but this time the killer wasnt a terrorist, he was very much part of the same society till the momemnt he pulled the trigger..

i would see cho seung-hui ( the killer ) as a “virus” a kind of social virus, who would forcibly enter and mutate the structure of society, he sent across his message to the world firstly by his killing and then by letting world know about his cause, i.e. the tape which he recorded, if you read his words carefully, you will come to know that his problem wasnt new and could have been resolved before he took such drastic step, the “extreme” can never be one… there are always two extreme points.. and they co-exist. seung-hui was also at extreme opposite end of the filthy rich american culture, he suffered pain.. and some how everyone miserably failed to read him. his words are enough to inspire a whole new generation of such mutating viruses, but at the same time its a message for rest of us to learn something out of it.. it happened in US but days can not be so far when you will hear something like this happening in india.. so i guess apart from praying for those who lost life, on individual level we must think why such situations arise, somewhere in our life do we also humiliate someone? knowingly or unknowingly.. do we position someone on opposite extreme?? which may lead to disaster like this..

i dont think posting condolences on the victim’s scrapbook will give peace to his/her soul unless we are able to prevent such viruses to spread across…
