Hamare Khayal, Hamari Kala (Our thoughts, Our Art)




Karlstad, 2012

I walked into the building last year to find an unusual art exhibition.  Try your Art Drawing skills!!  Anyone who wanted to participate was provided with paper and colors. You were allowed to say your mind.  

I was touched so many of these. I took many pictures, but still many remained un-captured.  These folks, most of them, were not artists.  They said what was in their heart and mind.  Words became images, and images--words.  

Robert Fulghum, in one of his books had said, 'that we should fight with crayons, for all the world's leaders played with them at some point"

Well, here is a heated discussion, that some how is in consensus ---all in colors--crayons or otherwise!!




Notice the word 'world' on the right hand corner of the page.  What a simplistic rendition of a chaotic world!!  



We are the Unicorns, but we are people too!! 
How I wish we knew we were Unicorns, and wish we knew for sure that we were people, and not animals fighting over limited resources--people who are able to create an entirely new world by the process of our 'thinking' for the better!!






Whereever Maya takes me, I will go, but my heart remains in Nepal (I can read the script and make sense of the langauge, but it is actually Nepali--a language from India's neighboring country).


I bet there can be a thousand meanings of this painting...




How could love and heart not come into this free expression!!





Truth, Hope and Love!! Something couples get engraved on the insides of their wedding rings!! Karlek (pronounced Sharlek) is the Swedish word for Love!! 



A flower of a heart, a heart on wings!!


This tree had been cut for (profit-fruit) --don't know how many birds come looking for this old tree!!  A message that be applied to environment as well as people to who are kind, do good and are eliminated from positions of power, by those who seek power to rule and not to help. 




What more to ask for, if we have these....


Often true!!



This morning a bad dream woke me up, now I am afraid of going back to sleep!! 
Many of us can relate to that. 




Puss (kiss) and Kram (hug)!! Simple!

This should be a regular festival, rather than a valentine's day or bosses day.....we should focus on expressing ourselves....and we will realize that most of the voices are calm, beautiful and filled with love.
