new painting

The painter's block is gone and I made a new one recently. Got a unique hexagonal shaped pre stretched canvas. Didnt think about the form wanted to paint, just did the background and voila a shape emerged which i later highlighted.

UNITED COLORS OF BENETTON

For all the curious readers who are wondering why this post is named after a clothing line...read on....

On a good day, I see patients from at least 10 different nationalities. Iran, UAE, Indian, Germans, bangladesh, pakistan,,..u name it....Curiously enough the basic language is the same. Everyone laughs when they are happy , everyone smiles in the same way, everyone screams in pain the same way. A frown, a sigh, a giggle...all are the same. Each emotion bearing testimony to the fact that we human beings are in fact same creatures in basic genetic constitution. Ok most of the times you can differentiate a person by his accent. But just try this....walk into a paediatric ward or ICU, close your eyes and just listen to the crying of all babies....try to differentiate each one by its cry....hard isnt it?..................and still we have conflicts, borders and hate????

BURJ KHALIFA......MINDBLOWING

Finally something new in the dailies besides "THE YEAR THAT WAS, THE YEAR THAT WILL BE" It was getting too cliched anyway. Burj Khalifa, the new tower opened in Dubai yesterday amidst much fanfare. It was inaugurated by Sheikh Mohammed on the occasion of his ascension to the throne. Standing at a staggering 828 metres, it has beaten all structures in the world by a huge margin. Doesnt look like there will be any competition to this giant for quite sometime. Offices designed by Giorgio Armani, superfast elevators, tallest observation decks, this beauty has it all. And i saw it it too.....in person.....yeaaah
