Toota toota ek parinda

Common scenario in office, you fly in your thoughts and pulled back by subordinate or senior or most of the time your boss. This devil(though may be your best friend, but at that moment appears like devil only) shouts very loud and clear and you are pulled back to dharatal (ground), "environment will be down after 30 mins, pehley yeh kaam khatam karlo fir baat kartey hai". 

Yes, you are thinking very right; these people are the killers of creativity. Might be something like this has just crossed your mind "Khud toh kuch hat ke soch nahi saktey, wahi kitar pitar client ki haan mein haan milatey rahengey and expects the same from us". Give me a hi-5, if I was able to guess your mind. These monsters are present everywhere, you just need to be wary of them. 

Creativity is fluency of ideas, flexibility of ideas. Most of them even won’t understand what you tell them and may offend you on the face stating, "yeh kuch bhi bolta hai, pagla" mind you take it as a compliment. Inability of someone to understand you can never be considered as your inability to perform. 


Sometimes, I am very convinced by the thought that the laziness and creativity are inversely proportional. I think the lazy person in his hatred for doing work, tries to find out the quickest way to accomplish the task in a perfect way and come out with what is known as exceptional. 

So friends, take off and fly!!!

Versatile Ganpati





Ganpati or Ganesha, is the most versatile god of the modern times. Ganpati is present in so many styles, such diverse presentation that it appears that as if we have fonts for writing we have shapes for ‘gannu’. I am referring to ganpati as ‘gannu’ here, my personal customization for this versatile god after looking through so many forms. We rarely get to see the same sketch of ‘gannu’. Try observing through the wedding cards, mementos, small sculptures on desks or car dashboards you will never find the same one, but yes you will find the similar ones. Until date, I have not seen such diverse sketches for any deity and I will not be wrong in saying for any entity that exists. ‘Gannu’ gives artists the freedom to design new forms, apply ample of customization.

I have never seen anything more than ganpati on any desk. Every second desk that sports some showpiece is must to have a ‘gannu’. Does that mean ganpati is the most worshipped God? However, no extremist group supporting ganpati, though you get to hear lot of ‘Ram’ and ‘Rahim’, but the ‘gannu’ steals the show.

Might be such diverse forms helps each individual to relate, and can be one of the reasons of popularity of this celebrity. Round is such a beautiful shape with no corners. Corners usually hurt and this no corner or round deity never places anyone at corner and manages to be at the center. It is a belief that ganesha loves food. Food is an integral part of any celebration, and who would mind inviting someone who loves food at the event. This happy go lucky person leads a life, which a lot of us aspire to. A fat guy offended by the name of elephant, often considers a compliment when referred by the elephant head deity. The round belly with the elephant head is artist’s paradise to tweak and invent new forms and still present the original. This god is unique and beyond comparison, might be this is one of the reasons behind the custom of worshipping ganesh on the first place.

A basic research on internet reveals there are 108 names of ganesha. No surprise if the number is even thousand times attributed to the fact how each individual uniquely connects to ‘gannu’.

Gannu you are rock star!
