‘ It is easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, but what the world sees of the person is only one tiny faucet of the iceberg. There is a story behind every person. There is a reason why they are the way they are. Think about that before you judge someone.’ Our life has a meaning only if we keep having an interaction with people. Right. We meet a multitude of people in our lives with whom we chat, talk, discuss various matters, etc. But now let us pay attention to the details. Can you tell me the first thing we all do when we see new people? Do we instantly go to talk to them or do we straightaway shake hands with them? Let me tell you; we do nothing of this sort. The foremost thing we do after meeting someone new is that consciously or unconsciously we make a judgement. A judgement like: Wow, he has so much wealth, He is so rich. She looks so sweet.

Mosaic is a painting or picture obtained by arranging small pieces of stone, glass, paper and other materials to make a variety of patterns. It is a creative type of art technique where we can mix and make a blend of colors by adding the shades, hue, tint, and tone of the main color. It is a decorative piece and is used as a creative way to elaborate the work of art and pattern. This type of art form was very famous in the Ancient Roman period and was used to decorate floors and walls. In modern days, it is used to make patterns, paintings and tiles to decorate houses.

I have painted GURU NANAK DEV JI through the technique of mosaic. This painting is a tribute to him on his 550th Prakash Purab.

In India we meet different people. Some are Rajputs, some are Sikh, some are Hindus, some are Muslims, some eat Non - vegetarian, whereas some avoid eating that. Some celebrate Christmas while some others celebrate Diwali, Eid, Holi, Gurupurab. We all are so different from each other, but the one thing that is common among us all is  ‘oneness’ . There is  UNITY EVEN WITH SUCH A VARIETY.  As Rabindranath Tagore very eloquently said:  If  God had so wished, he would have made all the Indians speak one language, follow one tradition and religion, but God did not want it this way. He felt that the identity of India would only be in having a diversity.  Criticism and inequalities are not the ideologies we follow anymore. Over the years, we have evolved as a leader with a strong bond of humanity among us.  India is such a diversified civilization with over 1650 spoken languages, varied dressing styles and with millions of people coming from various backgroun...
