Find happiness and beauty, wherever you can, because the lack of empathy in our species is painful and heartbreaking.  #london #newadventures #exploreuk #nonperiodicoscillations #happiness #beauty #coronapandemic #empathy #stayhome #staysafe

The beauty of our time is not that someone or the other will get offended by one's beliefs or words or actions or mere existence but the fact that they can, and probably will, express their opinion about it in a rude and extremely uncivil manner with nary a regret. I first came across this gem ( bit.ly/2Nso0eA ) in early 2002 while working on my dissertation and it became the opening page in my document. I loved it because it had a positive connotation - freedom to learn about the world and interact with complete strangers comfortably and anonymously, free from geographic, racial, gender, economic and other such boundaries. Today, that anonymity has been twisted to such an extent that it has become a tool to facilitate unchecked spewing of vitriol and hatred. Instead of dissemination of information and positivity, it is used to facilitate the spread of misinformation and hatred. I hope and pray that sooner or later, we understand the long term impac...

A new year is upon us and with it comes hope for a joyous, prosperous and peaceful year ahead. I am lucky to have this lovingly designed calendar to adorn my table and bring the beauty of art into my “daily struggles”. The artwork, which are part of the “Footpath” series, are hand drawn by my (not so) little brother @dwarkanathsinha ( https://instagram.com/dwar.ka/ ) and the calendars are designed under AT and his independent design initiative called Unibrow ( http://unibrow.in ). Check out their website, Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/unibrow.in/ ) and Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/unibrow.in/ ) pages for more art. Have a lovely New Year ahead. Stay happy. Stay strong. Keep the love flowing. #london #newadventures #exploreuk #nonperiodicoscillations #architecture #design #art #unibrow #newyear #peaceful #calendar #calendar2020

Image source: http://bit.ly/2ZAGiQ0 I have heard a lot of people talking about the virtues of “hard work” wherein sacrificing everything else in life is considered normal and almost always, expected. In my limited experience, I have learnt that nothing can be further from the truth. While I have never shied away from responsibility, I have generally ignored such “well meaning advice”. Recently, I came across two posts that brought this thought to the fore again. The glorification of a sixty or eighty hour work week or similar nonsense is the clarion call of those who are terrible at managing their work or are generally clueless about what their priorities in life or work are or believe that employees should be available at their beck and call or worse, plain exploitative. I have personally suffered at the hands of those who loved to schedule team meetings on holidays or wanted to have a discussion after six in the evening or regularly set unrealistic deadlines to ensure tha...

A Christmas party. Lot of people, food, drinks and dancing. All below the hull of a ship! An eventful evening looking up at the lovingly restored Cutty Sark in Greenwich The "Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship. Built on the River Leven, Dumbarton, Scotland in 1869". Today, it is a museum and venue for events ( http://bit.ly/2EVIgks ). #london #newadventures #exploreuk #nonperiodicoscillations #architecture #design #christmas #dancing #party #ship #greenwich #cuttysark

A "warm" day, British rain, heavy lunch, Friday and a rainbow. Almost perfect. Almost. In the background, you can see "the Honourable Artillery Company, a charity set up by Henry VIII in 1537 to support the Regiment that shares its name. The historic venue is a place for current and ex-members of the Regiment to gather for social occasions and business meetings, but also serves as a unique venue for a wide range of non-member events." The ground is a regular helicopter "adda" too (www.hac.org.uk/). #london #newadventures #exploreuk #nonperiodicoscillations #finsbury #sun #rain #clouds #rainbow #FridayFeeling #notshotoniphone

Are you bored of going to regular salons? How about a shiny, blingy, mobile yet static salon in the middle of a busy plaza? Why not club your break with a trim, or something more adventurous maybe? #london #newadventures #exploreuk #nonperiodicoscillations #salon #plaza #mobile #ArtOnTheCommute
