Discovered through insights, and a very strong intuitive feeling, the PIVOTAL framework is essentially a combination of passion, imagination and verve that can be used almost in every aspect of human life. The PIVOTAL framework -> Passion + Imagination + Verve in equal measure = TOTAL SUCCESS. It is essentially these which drive perfection, discovery and inventions of the highest nature in humans as well all of those day to day 'WOW' moments or incidents. But it could be extended to anything and every activity that we take up. Putting the whole soul into the moment...

Debi – The Shakti-Shanti Duality. Yaa Devi Sarvabhuteshu – Shakti Rupen/Shanti Rupen Sansthitaa – Namastasyay, Namastasyay, Namastasyay, Namo Mamahaa. DIGITAL MODIFIED ARTWORK.

Concepts in music have been the main focus area with concepts such as shadows, reflection, gesticulations etc were new things I learnt. The notes - Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni - are based on ratios to the Golden Ratio (approximately 1.614). FACTOID: Upto a max of 12 notes or 8 notes are decernable to the human ear. ESCHER's BIRDS - Developed taking snatches from Escher's 'Liberation' - copied during class ...

Genre: Digital Art, On July 12, 2009 for July 21 (marks my mother's birthday) - Click above to view larger image. Dedicated to my mother and all mothers, past, present and future.... who bear the symbols of love and later care and nurture them! How I wish I could roam free, Careless of all that the world demands. But mother, for the thoughts of thee, And on my head thy peaceful hands.

DIGTAL ARTWORK Titled: Black = Hope (Click image above to expand) Life is no pleasant game, Yet a game all the same! Come with me, let us Go forth to tear thus, The occasional pall of gloom. Awaits the dawn of consciousness. Darn the naysayers, Burn their demoralizing prayers. The beats of music, And human company, keep up The zest for life, the trick Is to yearn for the very best! Enjoy every step, wait not With bated breath, To reach some illusory goal. Feel the oneness of each and every soul! Black equals Hope, since it’s A matter of raising your eyelids. The ennui shall vanish, Gain You shall zest, Zest, ZEST. -------------------------------------------- Watched Vijay Tendulkar's play 'Silence the court is in session' (English version of the Marathi original Shantata!
