The home and the world

  This is the end result of one of those moments of the ongoing lockdown of 2021, when you have a compulsive creative output urge! And at such moments, when you can't locate your painting brush, you make do by dabbing your fingers in the paint pallette and splash it across the canvas! :)

 

Every day is a new puzzle to solve... Every moment brings a new direction of thought.  Emotions and tempers, tears and dampeners, Seize you and shake you to the core.  Who is wrong and who is right?

The artistically inclined are shedding their inhibition and coming up with genuine art.   Some are watching their long list of movies - to watch, which they had prepared long back and promised to enjoy the same on weekends. Some are indulging in creating short cut recipes. Some are involving themselves with their kids’ various activities, be it their online studies, art, writing, painting, playing games, watching movies together etc. Some are reading books long left half read. Some are meditating. Some are into soul-searching. Some are still trying to come to terms with the Lock-down. The list of activities is long and never–ending. Guess I will require to create a separate post for it. Though today’s post is dedicated to the random activities which the writer was involved in during the last few d

Meanderings of a Mind during Lockdown!! It’s been more than 2 weeks since the lockdown was imposed by our government to counter the COVID -19 pandemic. Praying to GOD to keep our beloved Earth and all populations across the globe, Safe, Healthy and Loved! It’s such an unusual situation! Nothing that has ever happened till date, not even the World Wars, must have disturbed the fabric of society the way the COVID19 Virus has managed to do. It has churned the entire world, from East to West and North to South. It has shaken all the nations and all the levels of Society, all businesses and all governments, the world over! It has stirred all the families, the people and every relation within each family! It has brought in open, the attitudes of people!
