Views and Perspectives

Just sharing a drawing I did an year or two back, and a few words that explain the idea behind the drawing.. She ran her eyes across her new chamber, taking in its magnificence. The layers of fabric seemed as heavy as her heart.  Clutching her unfamiliarly heavy robes, she looked at herself in the mirror one last time, gathering up courage to face the crowd. Determined, she turned away and lifted her hands to the fine layer of cloth that separated the comfort of her chamber from the outside world. The fabric felt soft between her fingers. Slowly parting the curtains, she took her first step outside. Head held high, she smiled at the people. They cried, “All hail our newly crowned Queen!!”

You might wonder why I'm writing so much about homeless kids nowadays. Well... It's because some stupid &£#%+@%/s need to get all that shit out of their heads and fill them with more positive thoughts!! Yes, I am frustrated!! I am annoyed and baffled at how people can be so RIDICULOUS!! And mean!! I'm just hoping that this post knocks some sense into their heads!! I've always wanted to adopt. I see no reason to bring an extra person into this already over populated world while so many kids live without food or water... Or worse... Without a family!! So one day, I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed, and i come across a post saying that we should popularise the idea that adoption could be one's first choice and not necessarily just an alternative for childless couples. That quote just summarised everything about this topic that I wanted to shout out to the world... And obviously, naturally, I shared it!! Then came those comments... Some were okay,

Throughout my final years at college, I had done various levels of study on kids and their relation to spaces. I also had a few friends in my class with similar dedication. We have always got positive feedback as to how our passion towards the topic is reflected in our study. When we had to choose a Thesis topic, though we had diverse options in our mind, deep down, I think, we always knew that we would design for children. That is how I ended up doing an ‘Integrated school’ and one of my friends ended up doing a ‘Centre for street children’. This was an opportunity for us to learn more about child growth and psychology. Even as I was deeply involved in my study and the design it would lead to, my friend’s topic fascinated me. I remember asking her for briefs of everything she had read, heard or observed. I remember her quoting the main tagline of her project, “You can take the child out of the street, but never the street out of the child”. I remember eagerly listening to her as she

It's funny how some people can affect you with their negative energy, however unimportant they might be to you. I am the kind of person who not just likes to remain happy at all times, but also succeeds in doing so most of the time. I am known to be a very happy person and I too believe so. I always keep negative energy at bay and avoid negative personalities. But sometimes, it is not so easy. Some people are such that they cannot be kicked out of your life. Today, being the first day of the year, was meant to be kept happy and positive. That is what we all wish for, for we believe that a good beginning will ensure a good year. For the same reason, I decided to bring a smile to a very special person today. I was aware of the possible consequences. I knew I'd have to expose myself to the negative energies I've been avoiding. But what the heck!! I can't let a few unimportant people affect my decisions! I know I can do this! Just like I had imagined, the time I spent th
