Change


Somehow I believe in the philosophy of individualism and therefore, for me following other sheep's and being successful is not as important as being myself. As I was born to be a different individual not a herd.

For years now we have perfected the art of excellence by means of replication and repetition in our work, in our personal life you name it and mankind has it all. But it is also a fact that any phenomenon has to evolve and find ways to sustain or enhance its growth in its ever adaptive environment – this is true in the philosophy and work methodology of our life as well. While we now work in a world of clones, replicas of ourselves, we are comforted by a hundred more minds with the same ideas, same skills and same background around us. Do we find ourselves in a cosy corner, less threatened by any radical change of idea or spur of innovation? Despite our best of intentions and undoubted success resulting from this commonality, we tend to lose the innate uniqueness we would otherwise bring with us. However, a bold dash of red on a simple grey spread - can set our creative senses ablaze even today.  All the things this brings to our mind are the thrill of contrast, character and above all a new perspective. 

There is an undeniable satisfaction that being true to one bring in diversity in the otherwise grey and common work environment. These in turn propel us towards positive change.
