Come corona and we all were brought down to our knees, and sent straight back Home. Wherever, however, whatever- the entire human race went back to being a Caveman. Shelter in place, family together, hunting n gathering the essentials…protecting boundaries…fighting corona, the enemy.  Come corona,  Wherever you are.  You are home,  No questions asked youContinue reading “Ground reality”

Come corona and the pace of the 24×7 day suddenly changed……like a racing car turned into a bullock cart! WFM ( work from/for home) minus the ‘maids-of india….corona, unwittingly, kickstarted the new skill-building program. DIY, youtube self-taught, it is! Some zoomed in working hard ( or hardly, who knows), and others zoomed out of work.Continue reading “(s)Paced Out”

Come Corona and the so-called ‘Great Expectations’ did a somersault! Where they were all set- to reach out for the stars, looking up above the stars so bright, like the diamond in the sky…..

Our plans, written in stone of our mind, gaveContinue reading “un-Planning”

No country fighting country, No bombs no guns, No destruction no blasts, No man fighting man, And yet its a world@war Forget the french revolution, the chinese revolution,  and allContinue reading “Nature revolts”

Covid-Time Bytes: While clearing the clutter on my mobile, I chanced upon this video clip of Nov 2019 – a discussion on Time, at Gallery Threshold Art​, during the ‘Painted Almanac’ Show. Interesting to see myself commenting on the Power of Now…Ichinen Sanzen – past, present future, all existing in one single moment…the mind monkeyingContinue reading “Here and Now”

Covid distancing bytes:  India is a country (in)famous for its crowds and crowd-lines. We may not be shaking hands or pecking on cheeks, but we Indians love to stick close to each other, literally on top of each other! People distancing is alien to us… And then Corona happened…literally pulling us apart…straightening us…spacing us out,Continue reading “Social (Indian) Distancing”
