Keep in Mind Nature's Elements - Water colours

Watercolour Watercolours - Nature's Elements Watercolours (Slightly edited)

A watercolour that evolved out of a lazy afternoon and an idle mind; or was it a restless, active mind ... ? ;) I am not used to painting/water colours so you'll observe that the synthesis, composition is a bit amateurish. But everyone needs to start somewhere, so here I go. Any criticism is more than welcome! As far as the meaning of the painting - no specific theme that I can think of.

    Hi! Shamit, nice effort. I would recommend that you read some water-colouring basics online. The technique is very different for water-colours. I have struggled a lot with it and then, gave up (didn't have the patience). Maybe, you will excel in it! :-)

    Oh, so most of your work is not water colours? OK will need to look at the basics.

    Hi Shamit,Nice work, good original ideas.
    But certain portions are not very clear in terms of the shapes.also usually such hard boundaries are not used while painting(it makes the painting look very childlike)especially when u are trying to convey the idea that everything in nature is connected and then use hard boundaries to disconnect concepts within the painting, it acts as an irony.these are my feelings.But keep working on them, u have a very good intuition that an artist needs.Hope this helps.regards tnbalaji

IIMB PGSEM SOP Essays.

The IIMB PGSEM application for 2008 had a SOP section which required 5 short essays to be written. Here are the ones I had written: Statement of Purpose How do you see the PGSEM helping you in your goals? (150 words) My taking up the PGSEM course has twin objectives, namely, self-development and learning all aspects of setting up, managing a commercial/social enterprise. Having worked in the software industry for five years, I have closely seen the software development life-cycle. However, there are several aspects of business and the economy that are of interest to me and I find the time ripe to explore these in a formal way, through academics; specifically strategic management of a firm, innovation strategies, and the scope of strategic consulting. Getting ready to usher in acceleration in growth opportunities in my care

DNA newspaper plagiarizes my photographs!

The newspaper DNA (Daily News and Analysis - http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore ) seems to have involved in not verifying its sources of photographs and having used my photographs (does this amount to plagiarism? I think it does) after it carried some of my pictures in the 'After Hrs' section of its newspaper on 31st January 2009, which I had taken at the IIMB Yamini 2009. It is good that they covered the event but they should have cited/verified the sources of the photographs. In all probability they or their sources just picked up the photos from my blog, with the belief that no one would notice anyways - seems they could not escape as luck would have it, I spotted them in the DNA paper on Saturday. It was early in the morning when as I flipped open the last page of the supplement that I was stunned to see my pics, which I was able to recognize immediately - however there were no credits anywhere in sight! Please check the photos below from the e-paper version on their website
