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.

Chennai's first immersive experience: The Real Van Gogh as a Photoessay

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...

5 Ways of Self-Appreciation for This New Year

Hello 2020! It's time for an actually HAPPY new year. But, how happy is it? We all know it the new year traditions are extremely high-held and everyone is just spelled with it. But arriving the next day like today, the second of Jan, the vibe is washed away. But why? Why can't we be happy for the entire year? Here's a quick look into how SELF-APPRECIATION can make it happen. Having taken up studies in Psychology, I'm in quest for originality more than ever. During my quest, I stumbled upon self-appreciation, a 'habit' that has the capability of turning into a 'quality' . My 2019 has been a pot-pourri of life, career and inner-seeking, that required a great deal of confidence in myself at every step. At every such step, it is the 'Appreciation' from the near-and-dear that held the pieces of my mind together. That is when I realised the value of even the smallest dose of appreciation that had the power to push . This coupled with an equal...

An Architect, who builds thoughts...

                      Thoughts are like wind, they come and go. But at times, the air gets still and the thoughts build up. Especially for an Architect , who has the right side of the brain working overtime.                       Shedding those thoughts as letters and words over a piece of paper would let oneself track the sequence and feel the connection that could best comfort an introverted mind. This connection between the mind and the paper is holy and a place as simple as a balcony niche could become a sacred place.                       By definition, Architecture is the visual art of building space. But by instinct, Academic years brought about a mixture of Psychology, Communication, Teamwork, Visualisation, Cr...
