Big Blue Teddy

Teddy bears are universally loved. They can instantly bring a smile on the onlooker.

History takes us back to the time when American President Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear on a hunting trip. That being illustrated by a cartoonist was the very first profile of the teddy bear.
The round fuller looking figure illustration sparked the impression. A candy shop owner with his wife, inspired by the illustration, developed the stuffed toy that became known as Teddy’s bear.
Even today, the soft curved profile with the smooth fur surface and fluffy volume leaves an impression on our hearts.

Being the fluffy companion it can, share your space, make you feel the company, see you through your emotions, listen to you and hug you to sleep after all the chaos of the day gets over.

As the psychological facts have it, “A 20 second hug releases oxytocin hormone, that lowers blood pressure and builds trust, happiness and love”.
This explains the affinity of the female population to the stuffed toys. Looking past the stereotype, it is the highly emotional & sensitive female brain that seeks comfort in the teddy bears’ fluffy furry torso.

Blue, the natural color of ocean & the waves, adding the peaceful touch to every single fragment in the fur, makes the Big Blue Teddy special. The one that the introverted mind can open to.

Immersive art opens up a whole new dimension. Being to the Van Gogh immersive experience made me actualize this in real time, with the life-size visuals of Vincent van Gogh's masterpieces. The brush strokes of his post-impressionist style and the signature Prussian Blue (Bleu de Prusse) of his palette left me spellbound, bringing me more closer to art than ever. The way his earlier works captured the emotions of the people he drew and the way he personified such emotions into art in his later ones, certainly stirred me, as an onlooker. I'm extending that feeling--that experience to you through this photoessay: The Van Gogh world nestled in the middle of a happening place in the city.  My lens capturing twelve sunflowers in the frame ( "and nothing else" ) to reminisce the 1888 painting by the name.  The tale of "The man who painted sunflowers" The impressionist brush strokes never missi...

How advertising has its take on Social Impact?

Advertisements or any communication is perceived differently by different user groups. Researcher Martin reveals "When feeling sad, males prefer happy ads to boost their mood. In contrast, females prefer happy ads when they are feeling happy." The perception of any ad varies with the evolving mindset of the human being.

The people who have been brought up in a cultural environment relate better to the ads that connect well with their emotions. Whereas the people brought up in a diverse setup would relate to the trends that fit well with the current. The understanding of the target audience frames the basic ' A ' of A dverstisement.

How to cope with the loss of a loved one

We all love and breathe by the language of love. As humans, we possess an innate quality to share and shower love on our fellow beings. But when the life of such loved ones end, our whole world turns upside down. Life suddenly starts to lose its meaning and it becomes harder and harder to express or share how you feel to the others. There is anger, pain and hopelessness all around you, but it all comes down to the bitter realisation that life must go on.  We must learn to rise back and live life, for that is the dream our loved ones have always had for us. We must take care of ourselves, along with the others around us who share our grief. That's where the loss gets honoured.
