![[25] Inside a Creator’s Mind](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/christoph-niemann.jpg?w=1024)
I just finished watching the first episode of a Netflix documentary called “Abstract: The Art of Design” which profiles the illustrator, Christoph Niemann. The way his mind work is scarily similar to how your or mine might work but the art he produces is spellbinding. So what is the difference between him and us? What…

[24] Shapeless Blur

I try to be a shapeless blur that no one notices Curious about the ways I can hide myself Under the garb of jokes and stretched lips Under the static sound of nothingness that puts me to sleep Behind the curtains of clothes to hide my naked self Behind her strength when she puts her point across…

A picture described by naysayers as a slow and a critically hyped movie. Yes, it features scenes with silence and a character that speaks rarely but what is the criticism more pointed at? The movie creates an atmosphere with its slow burning poison of storytelling with time-jumps that leave an audience to imagine the characters…

[21] What is a Story?

Stories are dreaming with our eyes open. It’s the art of convincing people of a certain idea but with a narrative, they can relate to. A writer puts his scrambled thoughts in a structure which may be linear, non-linear. The most vital stories of our ages are the one where the writers have “something to say”.…

The adrenaline in my body starts to pump up all the wiring in my brain when I watch a moment in a movie that just makes me jump out in joy. A good movie is like an instant energizer for me no matter how low on energy I am

In an age of information overload, the technological advances of our generation have given us many perks too. One of them being the option of pausing the video you are watching on your laptop. Rarely has it ever crossed my mind, to pause a TV show or a movie and appreciate what just happened. The…

I arrived at the gate of my new prison (read: college) and scoured the area for familiar faces (read: friendly faces). All I saw was an accumulation unto my conservative outlook of the world. People smoking, hurling abuses, holding hands and what not. It was the opposite of what I was taught to be. The…

She writes an epic to me venting her ordeals Against me I stay shut, unaware of my own blankness She says words, words that surround me Like a legion I explode into a flurry of shakes aware of my own madness She wants me to be naked In front of a mirror I hide my…

[15] Everyone is scared

There is a guy in my classroom; tall, well built and when he speaks words flow out of him like waves hitting the rocks – rock solid. I have always envied the plethora of confidence he exudes. Never have I doubted his confidence. But then I see it shatter in front of me. The facade…

That’s the biggest excuse we give us, our emotional response to our inability to do a certain task is I have no time. Maintaining this blog every day will take about 30 minutes to think about the topic (If I am going for a detailed post), 20 minutes to write, 5 minutes to edit and…
Smoke words every day.
