Paint it natural



"Saundariya Kayam Tiknar nahi", In Marathi language this phrase means that the external beauty will not last for long. It will be very hard for you to sustain that look externally. What is natural is beautiful. This is what Amarja's Aajee (Grand mother in Marathi) used to tell. When i met her after almost two years, i knew what she exactly meant by that. Being down to earth is a beautiful feeling.. It is not about going for a trek or lying down on the ground. Being down to earth in this context is being humble, accepting yourself as you are and not forgetting your roots. That makes a person truly natural. I met this man in Jharkhand, he was doing madhubani paintings also known as Mithila painting, (Mithila a region in Bhihar,India). This fasinated me, i had seen these paintings before but never met someone who did this. I sat next to him and started talking, i asked him how these colours were made. In no time he took a leaf and a stone, poured a bit of water and there the colors were ready. He took a twig and  started painting. So natural, so pure.... I just asked myself, can i paint myself with these colours. Friends paint yourself from natural colours.... PAINT IT NATURAL !!
