The Aspirations
How far you would want your child to go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. For, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have.
As John Adam’s had put in, “I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.”
We are the INSPIRATION to give them ASPIRATIONS.

Elephant at Work
25 January 2009
Elephants historically play a central role in Indian life. One really can not imagine India without elephants. Assam one of the east Indian states where elephants breed in captivity in the national park. In Kaziranga National park, there are quite a number of elephants, they are used for tourist rides to the part early in the morning where rhinocerous can be seen in wild.They are then taken out in the nearby forest and come later in the evening for another round for the tourist.
I stayed in Sivasagar, Assam some 100 kilometer from Kaziranga park and have been there many a number of times. The Elephant Festival of Assam is organised every year at Kaziranga National Park in Assam, jointly by the Forest Department and Tourism Department, Govt. of Assam generally in middle of February. There are various activities by domestic elephants and various cultural programmes performed by the locales to make the event more & more entertaining.
Though it has been estimated that only 200 elephants are in captivity in national parks but there are more than 2000 elephant elephants in public captivity which tend to do many sort of work, generally felling trees and carrying the logs. This oil painting is my dedication to those working elephants. In India there are some of strictest elephant legislation in Asia which have to be provided adequate protection for the countries 3600 domesticated elephants.
Many of the elephants suffer intolerable conditions. Even though there is a rich culture of domesticated elephants many animals are not receiving the welfare they are entitled to under the law and as a result suffer a lot. Help saving these animals for our generation.

Under the bridge
6 January 2009
"Under the Bridge" is a song by the American alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on March 13, 1992 as the second single from the group's fifth studio album Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Vocalist Anthony Kiedis wrote the lyrics to express a feeling of loneliness and despondency and to reflect on narcotics and their impact on his life. Kiedis initially did not feel "Under the Bridge" would fit into the Chili Peppers' repertoire and was reluctant to show it to his band mates until producer Rick Rubin implored him to do so. The rest of the band was receptive to the lyrics and wrote the music. The song became a critical and commercial success, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and later certified platinum by the RIAA.
