The preserver...

Art + Money - Appreciation

Now a days "Art" is on sale just like pakoda in almost every corner of the city. Kolkata has always been a cultural hub of the country. You get to see beautiful arts here in Kolkata, from painting to architecture....from food to fashion and what not. The city has created many quality artists and feeded them with right amount of appreciation and money. Yes, APPRECIATION and MONEY both are important for artist of any corner of the world.

But what if only MONEY take over the appreciation. I believe from there "Art" starts losing its quality. When Art is created for money only, it becomes a compromised product. As money comes with it own conditions. Criticism an appreciation is an integral part of any art form, it not only shapes but also drives it in the right direction.

Well having said all these i firmly believe that now money is very important for every art form and artist. If you can not feed your basic needs how would you nurture your art. 

So where exactly we are heading towards? 
Is it the change we are aiming for or this is how the change should be like ?

ABAHANI

Looking back

It has been a wonderful year. As i look back i see a lot of good and bad moments flashing in front of my eyes. GOOD made me confident, motivated, focused, happy and so on, but BAD made me even better, conscious, hard working, strong. 

Well i have learned, lost, tough decisions, happy moments, tired, affection, travel, challenges, love, friends,frustration, achievements and so on....and still strong and courageous.

Looking forward to 2019.

Bring it on....
