Defence against quirk arts.

·
What excites me about myself is the simple fact that I think I have found out what I am really good at. A kind of a safety net , a secret weapon which I hope will become an open secret someday.I really.. really like to write, write in all forms, blogs,mails,poems,verses,anything. As long as I have creative control I love doing it. Isn’t it something all of us want to have, to find our inborn talents,to find our “gift” which makes us so special, which makes us different yet which kept us as a cohesive unit during our ancestors early dogfights with nature and helped a civilization progress.
I believe finding your hidden talent is important, very important. In a way it completes us. It segregates us while designating our hidden talents as abilities useful not only to the present generation but also to the geneartion we will eventually sow.

Some have to look a little deeper than others to find their fulfilment. Some may be good at public speaking,a trait discovered very early in your schooling life and milked to the fullest by your concerned school in getting you to be a trophy bearer. It is really important to let the school act as the catalyst for the sake of furthering your talents.
Something which will be an immense service to you , only later in life.

Some find their hidden talents manifesting itself in the form of shades- black, blue & some colours about which I have no clue. Again something which is an established part of your extra curricular activities, so look out for that feisty drawing teacher sneaking up behind you only to metamorphose into a pencil wielding lunatic critiquing your work akin to winsome witch. No problems on this one either, you do become popular – and how. School loves you. Art teacher mentors you.Faculty couldn’t give much of a damn about you but still insist on referring to you as a gem.

Writing- a most belligerent artform. Its unique yet understated, serene yet volatile, beautiful yet inciting. You will again face no trouble coming up trumps on this one.
Advantage one – you get a much more hands on experience with the faculty,
Advantage two – intellectual babes dig literary stuff,
Advantage three – You have English as an existing subject.

Now the hard part, the other talents which have no backing- written or verbal. These go unnoticed even when you are endowed with a helping of it which everybody in your vicinity lacks. So these talents tend to manifest themselves as graphiti on bathroom walls and caricature inscribed on school furniture. I still say we need a forum to give a voice to these unheralded “geniuses”. To the “Defence against Quirk Arts”.

So explore, get into a frenzy. Find your hidden talent & share it with this world.
Who knows bathroom graphiti now or modern art worth dabloons later.
