The beautiful yet unusual language of Art!

What is Art? If not the strangest and most real human emotions put together!

Where do you seek your freedom when you feel caged? Or when your emotions aren't appreciated enough? Most of you would have replied with something you love doing in your pastime, like singing, playing an instrument, crafting, writing, painting, etc. 

Not many would have noticed this until today that, when we are hurt we seek solace in art! Art is therapeutic for our overbearing emotions. Art ground us! It gives us hope that, even if our feelings are not valued in this vast cosmos, they can always return to their home to their artistic medium.

Before we dive deeper, let me make this clear that this blog post is not an emotional address to art. This is to bring you close to the crazy world of creativity. 

Below we present you a gallery of art from around the world, which are beautiful yet unusual. 

1. Gyotaku

Gyotaku is a traditional Japanese fish printing art form. It involves pressing a freshly caught fish onto a piece of paper, then painting over the print with ink to create a colorful and lifelike image.


Fish Hunting> Forming Art > Frying. Understand the chronology. 



2. Body Fluid Art

Shock art or transgressive art is the most prevalent genre in which body fluids like blood, urine, feces, etc. are occasionally used to create art.


Painting, created using semen and human blood. Men and women putting blood, sweat, and tears into their art – literally




3. Dirty Car Art

Scott Wade, also known as the "DaVinci of Dirt" founded the Dirty car art. Ironically, Wade starts off by cleaning the windshield and then uses a blow dryer to apply an even coat of dust to his canvas.



Wanna try your hand at this art? Look for a possible canvas for the same in your neighborhood.



4. Feather Art

Kate McGwire in his strange creation meticulously moulded pigeon feathers together to produce stunning pieces of art. 100 on creativity, minus on emotions. Animal art should be a big NO!!

No Animals were harmed during the creation of this art???


5. Human Flowers

Cecelia Webber came up with this most interesting idea that uses people as the medium. Often, the people are arranged in flower-like formations, and their bodies are used to create beautiful patterns and shapes.

Beautiful humans, truly!

Gram Samruddhi Navkumbh Jhabua : A Journey from Observation to Immersion

It was my second visit to Jhabua in November 2024. As I sat with Nitin ji, engrossed in conversations that often wove seamlessly between development and grassroots transformation, he shared an idea that sparked curiosity within me. He spoke of an internship programme -  Jatan , a gateway for individuals to not just observe rural life but to immerse themselves in its rhythm, to feel its pulse, and eventually become a part of the grand narrative of change. At the time, I listened with interest, appreciating the vision but unaware of how deeply it would soon intertwine with my own journey. The conversation took its own course, but what I didn’t know then was that I was on the verge of being part of something historic -- the Gram Samruddhi Navkumbh , a confluence that would leave an indelible mark on my perception of grassroots leadership and collective empowerment. The Navkumbh was a sight to behold, over 5,000 village leaders from Jhabua and Alirajpur , standing together as cus...

The Story My Dadi Told Every Day

When I think of school mornings, I remember two things: the weight of my school bag, and the tug of my Dadi’s hands gently braiding my waist-length hair. Me in my Dadi’s lap while my elder sister smiles at the camera. Back then, I used to sit cross-legged on the floor, grumbling about how long it took, while she sat behind me on the edge of the bed, her fingers moving with rhythmic precision. Without fail, each day, she would tell me the same story—word for word, with the same pauses, the same expressions. "Beta, jaise paudhon ko paani nahi doge toh wo nahi ugte, waise hi agar baalon ko tel nahi doge toh wo nahi badhenge." (If you don’t water plants, they don’t grow. Likewise, if you don’t oil your hair, it won’t grow.) And just like every day, I would pretend to hear it for the first time. Truth be told, I never liked oiling my hair. It made my scalp feel greasy, and my hair, sticky and outdated. It wasn’t cool . While she lovingly warmed up coconut oil and massaged my ...

Aakrosh(1980) — A Movie That Leaves You Restless

Aakrosh is a film that will remain etched in my memory forever — not for its grandeur or drama, but for the raw truth it portrays. The state of affairs, the plight of poor women, and the devastating impact of injustice on a common man — everything in this movie hits hard and stays with you. At first, I couldn’t help but feel anger toward Lahnya. He appears to have committed the most heinous crime imaginable — killing his own sister. In court, he stands silent, refusing to answer even a single question from the advocate. His silence feels like arrogance. It’s easy to assume his entire tribe must be criminal and inhumane — a people devoid of values, ignorant of the law, and unworthy of trust. This perception seems to strengthen when a social worker tries to reach Lahnya’s family. Despite his best intentions and relentless efforts, the family remains unresponsive. They turn a deaf ear to him. Even after risking his life to reach them, facing threats and hostility from the villagers, he...
