किन राहोसे दूर है मंजिल,कौनसा रास्ता आसा है
हम जब थक कर रुक जायेंगे, औरोको समझायेंगे

Ashish Book Center's Exhibition
There is a book exhibition by Ashish Book Center at KamalNayan Bajaj Hall, Nariman Point (in front of INOX) from 11-24 January, 10am-8pm.
Have you seen the latest ad for life insurance by Future Generali? The idea is that if you don't go for an adequate life cover for your family and die early, your soul will remained trapped without any Nirvana forever because you will be always worried about them. :-(
I understand that "Insurance is a subject matter of solicitation" but this is a very sad and very creepy way of soliciting it folks!

Not so "Spotless" after all
Here we go again! Now it is actor Jim Carrey who has infuriated Hindus world over by his antics on the NBC show. Why does an actor of his caliber need to stoop to such low levels to generate publicity is beyond me. Looks like his mind is not so "Spotless" after all!

Happy Makar Sankranti! Pongalo Pongal!
तीळ स्नेहाचे प्रतीक सुंदर, गोडी गुळाची त्यास मिळे जर
स्नेहभाव हा वाढविण्याला, तीळगूळ देणे निमित्त खरोखर
सर्वांना मकरसंक्रांतीच्या शुभेच्छा!

I am not allergic to paintings but I don't like the kind that make you wonder if they have been put the right side up or not. :-) Recently, I came across an article that gave link to the following site - http://deweygfa.com/availartists.html.
I must confess that I had neither heard of any of the artists featured on this site nor am I going to remember their names come next Monday. But just out of curiosity, I clicked on a few names and looked at some of their work. Most of the paintings left me scratching my head in confusion and I marveled at the folks who would want to shell out a few thousand dollars for these.
But there is one artist whose paintings I really liked - Don Hatfield. I agree, his paintings have a repetitive theme - gardens, families strolling about on the beach or out on a picnic and so on. But it's this very same thing that I liked about them. There is a sense of peace and calm that seemed to come over me when I looked at them.
If I ever think about spending so much of money on paintings, I would buy something like these and put up in every room of my place. These are my kind of paintings :-)
