Before the Internet, a person with vast knowledge was considered intelligent. A person who can multitask was the best kind of worker. One who can talk well was a leader.
Internet has revised these conclusions. Today, a person with good hands-on experience in a small area of a particular field is sort after. Someone who can work at one task at a time with zero distraction is an asset to a company. One who can listen and talk less but do more is a leader.
Too much information on every known field is accessible practically at the tip of your finger. There is so much information that’s bombarding at every second, that we are losing the ability to even sit and enjoy our favourite song when someone sends it to us. Halfway through the song, another app flashes ‘the most important info that’s not to be missed.’
Well, I am going on an information detox!
In illustration I am at a place where I can get by painting most of the illustration styles but the style I love to incorporate in to my illustration is the Disney’s Winnie the Pooh movie illustration style.
As a child I used to be enamoured by the Hundred Acre Wood. That’s the magic I want create. So now I have taken screen shots scenes in the movie and am going to attempt at recreating the same backgrounds. Let’s see if I can bring that magic using Procreate.
No one wants misery but it comes. Similarly, happiness will also come even if you don’t want it. Be patient and learn to tolerate both knowing nothing is permanent.
After three months of not stepping out of our home, we finally got to go out for a short outing. Though most of the temples are closed we still headed towards ISKCON NVCC temple here in Pune. It’s a beautiful temple cum cultural centre.
We have visited the temple and it’s giftshops many many times earlier, however, yesterday for the first time I stepped into their Jivadaya department warehouse. This department exclusively deals with distribution of books written by Srila Prabhupada and his disciples. Srila Prabhupada had famously said that even after his departure from this world he will continue to live through his books. Hence the Jivadaya department is close to the hearts of the followers of ISKCON.
The books were beautifully organised in IKEA warehouse style shelving for easy access. Personally, I felt purified at that moment of being there.
We bought this beautiful book. Can’t wait to start reading this because it’s about that period of time when Prabhupada and his disciples were facing great difficulty to build Juhu ISKCON temple in Mumbai. Many who have read his biography will know of those turbulent times.
