Real Love




Ann Arbor's music and art enthusiasts recently had a chance to witness John Lennon's lesser known art. Lennon's paintings are on display in Ann Arbor for a few days. I had the opportunity of catching the exhibits today. 'Bag one', his gift to Yoko on their wedding night was a collection of sketches celebrating their union. This collection apparently had a few erotic lithographs, which were confiscated by the London police. A few of them which were displayed today were indeed scandalous. However, given an artist's license he had every right to express his love for his wife.

The one collection that caught my eye was 'Real love', his gift to his son Sean. The vibrant colours in the pictures look very cute and the collection stands apart from the rest. Have a look for yourself..

Overall, quite an interesting collection, although it's apparent why Lennon was known more for his music than his art!

Schools done..

I was a bit sad today as I left the classroom. The last class of my Masters program. May be my last class forever..or may be not! Schools done for me..for now!!

One and a half years ago I had very little clue of what I was getting into. Looking back I wonder, did my Masters really give me all that I had come here for? I would proudly say, that not only did this teach me tons of what I always wanted to learn, but also taught me a lot about life. That I think has been my most important lesson. This phase made me very introspective. Made me critically analyze every step I took, questioning some things I'd taken for granted in life, and reinforcing some choices. I'm happy I learnt about myself as much as I learnt about operations!

Now starts a new, exciting phase with a lot more to learn and even more to do!!!!
