As an artist i respect him and admire him. I know as an artist it is not easy to simplyfy things the way he does, he has mastered that art for sure but that does not mean he can get away with every thing!!<BR><BR>Well in an interview he has only talked about a lady love he met in 1956 or so and proposed him marriage which she refused and married a person from her own country. After many years he found her again and met her. When he came back he received a huge parcel containing 80 paintings he had gifted her.with a note 'these belong to india and not me'<BR><BR>Now i do not understand his need to disclose his long last love in news paper now after so many years and talking about intimate details. Now the question is - <STRONG>Is it right to use your loved ones as a trophy?<BR></STRONG><BR>To my mind any relation which is so close to your heart is a very sacred, it should not be displayed for public viewing, specialy in this case we only know one side story.<BR>His celebrating the fact that she has not returened potraits made by him is also wrong She has not sent them back because knowing him she knew he will put them in press or may even sell them. She is a married woman now how can he let her down like this by sharing such intimate details as going to bed together ..sick! How can you say you loved her and talk of Isqe/mohabat when you do not respect her prevacy. <BR><BR>to my mind these private moments are to be cherished and may be can be shared with a very special friend but no more..should never ever be allowed to be talk of the town.<BR>i think i can go on on this but must stop but pl. correct me if i am wrong!!]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2007 13:59:02 +0530</pubDate><link>http://magicworld.rediffiland.com/blogs/2007/06/26/M-F-Hussain-The-Best.html</link></item><item><title>space</title><description><![CDATA[<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt"><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #333333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Let there be spaces in your togetherness. Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></B></P><P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt">In Indian society for women to define their space is very difficult, it's a Patriacal society and even after marriage their bedroom is more of a man's room. And wife's dissatisfaction increases. <SPAN style="COLOR: black">Many couples drift apart slowly. He is more with the guys and she is more with her friends. The romance slowly loses its spark and one day they decide to separate. Take care that you don't drift apart. Be together in all activities as much as possible is the advice you get at this time where as what you need is some breathing space..<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #333333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">High stress of work and society pressures has increased- jealousy, prejudice and judgmental attitude in the society at large. TV programmes and media has major role to play. Couples find it very difficult to cop with this kind of environment. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #333333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">As they say distance makes the heart go founder...Similarly some space between the couple helps them get closer!!  little time spent on one self contributes not only in boosting self moral but reflects on their relationships as well, it adds to the quality of life. </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #333333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">For every individual to grow in all dimensions, that is spiritual emotional and in inter personal relationships analysis and reflecting on day-to-day situations, people their perceptions is a must. So is introspection without it one cannot envisage one's own growth and how much one has evolved. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #333333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">One hour out of 24hours on emotional catharsis helps her to resolve her grudges. She can write / maintain her diary. Important is that she is not answerable to any one for this one hour its her own.. this freedom is required and is must for her well being. A happy healthy person only can make others happy. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #333333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">"Space does not mean separate bedrooms if you sleep in different rooms relationships will drift. Earlier days after 30 yrs of marriage couples in joint families will automatically end up sleeping in separate rooms with their grand children etc.It helped and would strengthen their relationship. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 10 Apr 2007 13:22:03 +0530</pubDate><link>http://magicworld.rediffiland.com/blogs/2007/04/10/space.html</link></item><item><title>holi</title><description><![CDATA[We all know India is well known for its festivals.<BR>Holi is a big festival enjoyed by all infact over the years i have seen people from all caste and religion getting together to celebrate it. This year was not different <BR>but few things i noticed are one more and more people use SMS to exchage greeting and some use ecards.Seems they want to be in touch but do not want to spend even few minutes of their time for you. On the other side like Diwali they have started distributing Gujjiya and mathis...Sweet shops were making good profits...thanks to this added advantage. Youth are into experimenting that i like my niece has sent her photographs with mud pack....and wrote she enjoyed it alot and it was easy to clean and leaves no after effects. A friend was saying her sister has burnt her face skin thanks to strong colous her brother in law used.. no its such a relation you can not say any thing ..I wonder why..Hope you all had great time ....I wish all my heart that in years to come we can play holy with Teysu flowers and natural colour making it fun all the way.. .]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 05 Mar 2007 13:08:57 +0530</pubDate><link>http://magicworld.rediffiland.com/blogs/2007/03/05/holi.html</link></item></channel></rss>
