Even in the Himalayas, everything that I saw, my mind was desperate to convert it into designs and patterns. For me currently my work and studies seem to be the only thing that I can imagine. This song talks about being drawn towards the love of your life. This is one of those songs, from the 2014 movie “Hasee Toh Phasee” – a very cute and different love story that came out earlier this year, charming performance by Parineeti Chopra. They may or may not connect to what I wrote for them but in my mind they somehow framed what I saw and felt. They were ethereal in their nature and I can only hope to one day bring them into my work.Īll through the trek certain songs didn’t leave my mind and lips. The names blue, pink, green seemed too simple for these shades. The waters were clear blues and greens with rock-white (that’s the name I have given to the shade I saw there) banks with browns hinting from their edges. Beautiful pink, golden and purple sunsets and sunrises framed the skies every day. Shades of orange and grey juxtaposed with brilliant blues, pale pinks with bright golden browns and whites were around me waiting for me to notice them. Colours and combinations that I wouldn’t have placed together before that were laid out in perfect compositions in front of me. But it was only on the trek that I understood the meaning of the words said by the external member. In Delhi, of course, I met Sudhir ji but that is another post for another day. Not stopping to ponder over his words for a second, I packed my bags for the next day and left for Delhi and further Kathgodam. I was of course very happy at that time that jury is over. He asked me what I am doing in the holidays and I told them that I would be taking a trek in the Himalayas to Roopkund.

He told me: “You have no colour in your life” I was aghast! Me? No colour? He further explained, “All your work revolves around the same shades of pink, purple, blue and green. So at the end of my jury, the external member on my jury panel made a statement. If one manages to do that, then they give you a decent grade and pass you for the semester. Jury is what happens, when instead of exams, the college decides that a student should have only half an hour every semester to display every scrap of work they did for 4.5 months and justify that he/she did learn something. First let me explain the concept of jury. This happened to me during my first jury at NID.

But during the conversation, you do not grasp it and brush it off.
