Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. -Picasso
Everyone's life is an epic, the memories of struggle, success, smiles, tears and relationships
are added to the self image of me and mine to harden our ego, and there is a constant struggle to keep this ego safe from
eroding in the tough hands of time. Giving these memories a form of image, color or even words, gives reality of the moment
a longer shelf life, I like PB Shelley's Ozymandias for the same reason ( Please correct me if I have understood this poem
wrongly). Lucky are the people who can store their memories as a painting, like my friends Priya and V.P.Vasuhan, we frindly
call him Vasu) Today I went to the opening of Vasu's Painting exhibition, with my friends, it was a great day for Vasu. I
don't understand the much of modern art, but the artists who were present told that his paintings are the reflections Indian
subcontinent, and his struggles in a big city. Thats V.P.Vasuhan, with his painting Dances with Rats.
