Inner Desire


Every living being on this planet is an artist, each has taken a field of expertise to show case their art. Some became music producers, some painters, architects, race car drivers, trekkers, orators and then the likes of me too, a blogger.  While you may think that each of the artist has this desire to showcase their art- which they are proud of-, but if you really open your eyes, ears and mind, you would notice, that all of these artists had a very common goal towards their art, an inner desire to communicate.

Words were invented by legends of their times to ease the mode of communication, one common symbols used across the globe, ensuring they sounded and meant the same.  But when words fail to express the emotions that would want to be shared, an artist is born.

One of the classic examples of communication that I came across was on this TV show on BBC Earth, where they praised about a type of fish for his ability to design something out of the world. The Puffer fish , it is known for making the most complex yet the most perfect structure built by any animal to communicate its emotion. It had to work for 7 continuous days to make this (image added). Who said only humans had the desire to communicate.


Sharing ideas about Vinita, my ex colleague, who took up her passion for painting as she believe that painting was best form of sharing your own thoughts. Each of her paintings, were a message in itself, right from the portraits of people to unicorns, all reflecting her mood and desire to communicate. As I understand from her, she paints during times when she wishes to be alone or when she is exceptionally happy, a mood to celebrate. Once the emotions and sketch connect, an art is born and the artist rejoices. She is now in progress of connecting with like minded artists to grow this passion into a business opportunity. Wish you the best Vinita, make India proud.

Talking about communication and leaving behind music would be a crime. Personally, I believe music is most deepest form of communication, if you can connect with someone on music, it is more likely a spiritual connection. Being a trance music addict, I am blessed with friends who are trance artists, among them is the duo Shahul & AJ Sam. They produce music that satisfies their fan base, but more importantly they ensure, it satisfies their own soul. “Being an artist we can never make something, that we ourselves would not put it on a loop. A track speaks to you in numerous ways every single time and we want that emotion to be pure and clear. “, says AJ Sam.   I have personally heard them at various gigs in Bangalore and with their latest venture of Being Trance, things will definitely be taken to the level.


To sign of, all I would like to say is, To err is to Human, but to communicate is the possibility of not making the error in the first place.
