EXPO 2020-DUBAI Part II

It is amazing experience with whole world on one spot.216 pavilions representing all  the countries. Every representing  country did their best to showcase their Culture,  Nature, Costumes,  Jewelry, Traditions, and Today’s Development  progress, plans for future. It was a once in a life time experience. Due to time constraint I  could visited 110 countries only, got the white passport. A glimpse of how varied our world is.

Woman’s Day- Contemplation

Woman would be empowered in the true sense

The day society Stops judging them in the beauty pageants

On

The basis of physical appearances

and parading them on stages.

Stop criteria of certain height weight and ramp walks in high heels.

Stop matrimonial ads requiring certain physical features ( both for woman and man)

Stop supressing your daughters & daughter-in-laws in the name of traditions and customs.

Education and earning money is not signs of empowerment .

Stop expecting them to be at home by a certain time.

Stop blaming them when something goes wrong in the family.

These are a few things for thought. Everyone of you can add on to it and ASK what creates limitations and boundaries for you.

Imagination creates Art

Dr. Padha an intense learner

For me inspiration is not found in the books or idealism of known names. It is in the extra ordinary people whose daily routine is an example for others. Exploring, experimenting and innovating not only creates Artist , also the world of harmony.

Would like to share with you life of someone, who in his view is very ordinary, but for the people who are associated with him in any way (friends, relatives, neighbors) his simplicity and disciplined way of life is worth to follow.

At age of 78, when most people feel that they have nothing to learn or share, here is a man who is multi talented and still learning. He is into wood sculptures , mostly miniatures, a self-taught attempt. Bonsai is one of his interest and he has good collection of these.
Dr S. P Padha ,a medical professional ,an eye specialist ,retired as professor from Medical College Jammu. He lives in Jammu , INDIA. His childhood was spent in a small town of rural background, nothing like extra curricular activities or hobbies during those days.

When I asked him what lead him to learn pottery?

In his own words “ I was often fascinated by artisans like blacksmith and Potters giving shape to objects. I came in contact with Sh.Suman ji a couple of years back and became morning walk buddies. I learned about pottery workshop being run by Ms.Jyoti ji (Suman’s wife) at Blue River Cermics pottery centre With my interests in different art forms, I attended one of her workshop as an observer. Fascinated by the running hands on that wheel my creative instincts and their encouragement lead me to try my hand on Potter’s wheel. Jyoti ji is a very patient teacher which made me to learn about basics of pottery.”

Wood sculpture

It is not just the art but he keeps himself update with the fast moving world of wi-fi and technology. His views are that Internet is a great help in dissemination of information and knowledge.
His simplicity, humble and disciplined life is a message of encouragement for anyone looking for a mentor.

“We are the hands of potter

We are the clay

We are the wheels

And

We are the result too”
