Since the world is obsessed with labels, people are often surprised that I, a woman, can like someone like Steven Wilson, with his preferences to heavy but slow guitar riffs. For this reason, I've always associated him with Neil Gaiman: people are shocked that I, a girl, can read comics! OMG, how? How does a girl know about these things? Funny as it is that Gaiman's readers are mostly female, Wilson's music is something that men aren't usually encouraged to share: emotional and raw. <\/p>
Steven John Wilson (born 3 November 1967) is an English musician and record producer. Currently a solo artist, he became known as the founder, lead guitarist, singer, and songwriter of the band Porcupine Tree, as well as being a member of several other bands. He has also worked with artists such as Opeth, King Crimson, Pendulum, Jethro Tull, XTC, Yes, Marillion, Tears for Fears, Roxy Music, and Anathema.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507636937183","data":"59dcb8082aa13"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507636939051","data":"
Wilson is a self-taught producer, audio engineer, guitar and keyboard player, playing other instruments as needed, including bass guitar, autoharp, hammered dulcimer and flute. Despite being mainly associated with prog music, his influences and work have encompassed diverse genres such as psychedelia, pop, metal, electronic, and jazz, among others, shifting his musical direction through his albums. His concerts incorporate quadraphonic sound and elaborate visuals.<\/p>
In a career spanning more than 30 years, Wilson has made music prolifically and earned critical acclaim. His honours include four nominations for the Grammy Awards, twice with Porcupine Tree, once with his collaborative band Storm Corrosion and once as a solo artist. Nevertheless, his work has largely stayed away from mainstream music, being described by publications such as The Daily Telegraph as 'the most successful British artist you\u2019ve never heard of.'<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507636983304","data":"59dcb825750a5"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507636985575","data":"
I still hate myself for missing Steven Wilson's concert last year when he performed in India for NH7 Weekender in both Shillong and Pune. How could I have missed it? Unfortunately, some things are not meant to happen, but one thing is for sure, I will attend his gig one day, no matter what happens. <\/p>
Wilson's latest album 'To The Bone' is available online. <\/p>"}]
\"If it was a British band, they would have played their set anyway,\" said the 30s something man huddling behind me for cover from the rain. <\/p>
Mumbai's rains are infamous. The city is so used to being flooded due to excessive rains that it does not even care anymore, people are used to it and plan their commute and help others accordingly. So when I heard that Dream Theater, a band that I had idolised for years, was finally making their first trip to India with a show scheduled in Mumbai on October 8, I knew we would have rains to deal with. What I did not expect was frequent lightning strikes and claps of thunder. <\/p>
Concerts like these never start on time, even in perfect conditions. In some cases, it doesn't start at all, like Metallica's gig on October 29, 2011, in New Delhi. We waited for the band to come on the stage since 4 in the evening, only to be told, 5 hours later, that the band wouldn't be showing up at all and to come back the next day. The crowd went berserk. <\/p>
In Mumbai, outdoor events do not have permission to continue beyond 11 PM, a rule that is strictly imposed with the police keeping a constant eye on things, probably the only city in India where the rule to stop playing loud music after the appointed after is strictly enforced. So when it started to rain and us peasants in the silver category, those who couldn't even see the stage properly, ran for whatever cover we could find to not get drenched in the downpour, we worried that the gig might not happen at all. <\/p>
Except it did happen, with a start so memorable, I will remember this gig for the rest of my life. The band had just arrived on stage and started playing their set, with Jordan Rudess working his magic and a God of the Guitar, John Petrucci just beginning to strum his guitar. It was at that exact moment, a gigantic fork of lightning snaked across the sky, lighting up the grounds, followed by a crack of thunder. It was as if the Gods themselves were present to witness Dream Theater live and were welcoming them onto the stage. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507632951813","data":"59dcaa4eb68d7"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507632953981","data":"
The band stopped after their opening song because there have been cases of people being struck by lightning at concerts like these, which led to us huddling under cover again with the rest of the newly minted friends I had made at the concert. It was then a gentleman from Bangalore made the comment about British bands I posted above. Iron Maiden, we both said at once, would have powered through the entire set without stopping, even if someone got thunderstruck at the gig. <\/p>
The lightning continued, of course, when it rains in Mumbai it pours. All of us huddling together had to decide, go home and miss a potentially great gig, or get soaked in the rain, risk pneumonia, but have a once in a lifetime experience. The choice seemed obvious. <\/p>
All pretentions were abandoned as Dream Theater took a short break and came back to start with Pull Me Under, arguably their most popular song. The cover we had was abandoned, the rain was pouring over our heads, but we were there, standing under the thundering skies, listening to Petrucci's riffs and John Myung's enchanting bass guitar. Pull me under, screamed James LaBrie, and we were, pulled under a spell only Dream Theater could manage. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1507634001916","data":"SGRgAULYgWE"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507634013688","data":"
I never bothered to find out why Dream Theater was touring with Images and Words, an album they released all the way back in 1992. Having only been formed a few short years before the popular album, maybe they thought since they've never been here, this would be a great album to tour in India? Or perhaps it was because they weren't ready to perform their latest album, titled 'The Astonishing'. As a friend joked - and we both agreed - if they started playing anything from The Astonishing, we would walk out. <\/p>
Despite the incredible experience, attending a concert in pouring rain is a terrible idea. I mean, it sounds great on paper, but it is a risk nonetheless. As we left the concert, a visibly distressed fan was screaming unpublishable obscenities about Mumbai because the rain had ruined the gig for him. Hey, some of us do not like to get wet all the time. <\/p>
But, I'm glad I travelled to Mumbai for this gig. I mean, certainly, it was not easy risking my health and risking damage to my phone as I pulled it out of a plastic cover that I had taken from a restaurant earlier that day to occasionally take pictures. This was one of the best gigs I've attended in my life, not that I've attended many gigs, but at least so far, it is the best. There was an ethereal quality to how it all went down, with the stage lights dancing to the power riffs and the crash of the cymbals, punctuated frequently by a flash of blinding white light and a crack of thunder, the Gods roaring their approval along with the cheering crowds under the dark pregnant clouds. <\/p>"}]
Having recently discovered the joy of reading due to the Harry Potter books, thanks to Rowling and my parents, I ran home straight from school, a bright-eyed young lad who had made his parents promise to get him more books from the market when they came back home. <\/p>
Excited to go through the pile of books I had just received, I took in the cover art of each of the books, carefully ran my eyes over the names of the authors and how they were presented, flipped the book over and read the summary and snippets of reviews on the back cover. Then I saw Bachelor of Arts. <\/p>
Call it blind luck or maybe fate itself had its designs for me but I was drawn to the book in an instant, whether it was the curiously designed cover or the fact that the author was an Indian man named R.K. Narayan, I do not remember. I told myself that this would be the first book I'll read and ran off to a corner of the house where I could squeeze in and read in relative peace.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507617572253","data":"59dc9271e51f5"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507617574469","data":"
Rasipuram Krishnaswami Iyer Narayanaswami was born on October 10, 1906, in a privileged Brahmin family, a fact he would remember as he went on to build his career in the coming years. Born in the Madras Presidency, his family would eventually move to Mysore, a town the young man feel unquestionably in love with. The general prosperity of The Kingdom of Mysore meant the small town was a beacon in the dark for all kinds of interesting people and intellectual discussions. The vibes of the small town combined with the kind of people that shuttled in and out of the place, the intellectual discoures under lush green trees and the sheer scenic beauty of Mysore had found a stricken lover in R.K. Narayan, so much so that he would eventually go on and immortalise it in the form of Malgudi, a small South Indian town in Karnataka that would be the ground zero for most of his stories. <\/p>
I've never studied literature professionally, I'm an engineering drop out that decided to focus on writing instead, so maybe I'm not exactly the best judge of his literary merits. This piece is more of my personal opinions on his works, although I would be unfair to mention that I do wish to study literature, hopefully soon. <\/p>
Because reading R.K. Narayan for the first time is like falling in love for the first time. Many have called his work simple and easy to pick up, but the reason Narayan's books found a place in our hearts was not that they were simple to read and understand, but because his writing was, without a shadow of a doubt, sincere. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507623538966","data":"59dc92763e522"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507623541071","data":"
For Narayan put his heart and soul into his work, the sincere and simple South Indian boy who would go on to be one of India's greatest English writers. His sincerity in writing showed, of course, many noted literary critics spoke at length about how Narayan's writing makes one feel like they had visited the town themselves. So detailed were the descriptions of the town and its people, you couldn't help but feel like you were an observer to the events in the book, watching in sadness or with great amusement as Malgudi's rich and varied characters interacted with each other and try to take on life in all its complexities. For a first time reader, one would go in not expecting what they would find, only to finish the book and feel a profound sense of loss for a life that doesn't exist outside the pages of Narayan's books. <\/p>
I was too young to fully grasp Bachelor of Arts when I first read the book. The humour and the way Narayan highlights the quintessentially middle-class issues to the world with his crisp writing style has, since then, always been at the back of my mind. To this day, I regularly revisit the book. It is one of those works which you identify with more and more as the years go by because much like Chandan in the book, I too am an upper-middle-class spoiled brat. Bachelor of Arts is an example of how well Narayan understood the middle class, and this is just his second book, one which serves as a great example of going back in time to see how much things have changed and how much more has remained the same. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507624466152","data":"59dc928d1e81d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507624468092","data":"
It is the simple honesty in his prose which makes Narayan such an effective writer. Following Swami and Friends and Bachelor of Arts, he would go on to write many more stories - short stories included - about life in and around Malgudi. His works have been adapted as movies and The Guide even got a Broadway play, were included in textbooks and more. He has inspired generations of Indian middle-class children (like yours truly) to look to writing as a career, all of which began that day when I picked up my first Narayan book and was blown away by what I read, and that is why you never forget your first R. K. Narayan book, it stays with you forever, nudging you when you feel lost and telling you that it is okay, that problems will come and go but you and your work will remain constants. <\/p>
Whenever I read books by some of the greatest literary minds from across the world and find myself out of depth with the words they use and the way they write, it makes me wonder if I will be any good, if I'll ever be able to write even remotely as good as the authors of the books in question do, but then I remind myself of R.K. Narayan, a man who went on to become a legend not with lofty words and complicated sentences, but with sincerity and simplicity. <\/p>"}]

Talent can come from anywhere, provided it has enough room to breath and grow and make no mistake, while art in itself takes a tremendous amount of effort, being a micro artist is a step beyond that. <\/p>
As with any work of art, patience and time are paramount, especially when it comes to arranging micro art. If you've ever been fascinated by how micro artists manage to accurately arrange their work to reflect the subject of their art, it takes a lot of time, so much so that the young student in question today, Durgam Vinay Kumar, only undertakes such projects in his holidays. <\/p>
Recently making the local news for writing the history of Telangana, Durgam Vinay Kumar piqued our interest instantly. We reached out to him for a feature interview, and he gladly agreed.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507291967479","data":"59d779aa4f176"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507291969949","data":"
\"I've always been interested in art,\" says Vinay Kumar, speaking during his lunch break between classes at Osmania University, \"the opportunity to do so, however, was not easily presented. When I was about 12 years old, I began working on my art.\" <\/p>
Vinay Kumar hails from Adilabad district to the North of Telangana. He informs us that this is the first time he's ever come to Hyderabad, \"I only arrived at the city for the first time for my Masters in Chemistry,\" he laughs. <\/p>
Speaking about his interest in Micro art and how it began, \"I read about micro art a few years ago when I was in my intermediate,\" he explains, \"our Principal would organise weekly events where he would encourage us to be creative and pursue our passions, which helped me a lot.\" <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507293150348","data":"59d779abbb1ba"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507293154200","data":"
Vinay goes on to talk about his feat of writing the history of Telangana, specifically its struggles from the 60s to the formation of the state in 2014, \"I wrote the history on Tangedu leaves, from 1969 to 2014,\" he smiles, \"I've now taken on the project to put the development schemes of the government of Telangana on Rice Grains\"<\/p>
Vinay's projects usually take a tremendous amount of time, \"I don't do it when I have classes going on, it takes a lot of concentration, but when I have some amount of free time, I get to work,\" he says, \"It usually takes hours, sometimes even days to finish a piece I'm working on.\" <\/p>
Arranging art pieces as tiny as the ones Vinay Kumar designs is, in itself, a herculean task. His efforts have got him recognition from the Government of Telangana as well as the media. <\/p>
In conclusion, we ask him what his advice to students would be, he laughs and says, \"It's pretty simple really. I'm a student too now, and I know the value of hard work. Staying true to what you do will work wonders, just be honest with yourself\" <\/p>"}]
