Exuberance in art

By learning you will teach By teaching you will learn A Latin proverb that about sums up the joy of teaching young eager minds As you know the whole idea of our blog is to explore things which give us joy,simple everyday things .And one such joy is teaching your craft to eager students,students who are there for the joy of learning,students who are probably at the same wave length as you and who eventually do you proud.

It's like this painting--you have to be a tiger woman.woman enough to accept graciously your friends,and their support with their limitations and brave like a tiger to defend your reputation ,rights and especially your life of independence. India is an amalgam an amazing one of old and new and in the microcosm of a small town these dissections are even more pronounced. There is an unrelenting support system which is there with you no matter what but there are also numerous scathingly judgemental issues and people to be tackled as well...
