What happens when you stop pouring your energy into the wrong places?

You finally have enough left to build something beautiful.

For a long time, we give pieces of ourselves away without noticing. To people who don’t value them. To situations that drain us. To expectations that were never ours to carry.

And then one day, something shifts.

You stop chasing.
You stop proving.
You stop forcing.

The energy that was once scattered everywhere starts returning home.

This DIY calendar is a reminder of that.

Not just of days, weeks, and months passing by, but of where your time, attention, and energy are going. Because at the end of the day, our lives are shaped by what we consistently invest ourselves in.

The funny thing is, growth rarely begins when we learn something new.

It often begins when we stop giving ourselves away to the wrong things.

The wrong conversations.
The wrong environments.
The wrong version of ourselves.

And suddenly, you have the capacity to create again.
To dream again.
To make things with your hands.
To spend an afternoon turning an idea into reality.

The same energy that once felt wasted becomes creative fuel.

So here’s your reminder:

Protect your energy.
Guard your attention.
And pour more of yourself into the things that make you feel alive.

You might be surprised by what you create.

BLUE IN THE PINK CITY.
@jawaharkalakendra
Showcasing my two more series along with my “Kiwaad”.

The exhibition exhibits two more which is called.

“नज़रिया” - सबका अपना अपना होता है।

“नज़रिया” एक ऐसी श्रृंखला है, जो यह दर्शाती है कि सुंदरता और अर्थ हमेशा देखने वाले की आँखों में बसते हैं। हर व्यक्ति किसी दृश्य, स्थान, बहस, प्रेम या जीवन के किसी क्षण को अलग-अलग ढंग से देखता है। यही विविध दृष्टिकोण हमारी दुनिया को और गहरा, और अर्थपूर्ण बनाते हैं। इन cyanotype प्रिंट्स के माध्यम से यह श्रृंखला हमें यह सोचने पर मजबूर करती है कि हर दृष्टि में एक अनोखी कहानी छिपी है। यहाँ कला केवल एक चित्र नहीं, बल्कि देखने वाले की कल्पना और अनुभव से जीवित होती है — क्योंकि नज़रिया ही सबकुछ है।

“जिज्ञासा”- क्यों? क्या? कैसे?

“जिज्ञासा” एक ऐसी श्रृंखला है जो जीवन और खोज की मूल जड़ को दर्शाती है। अगर जिज्ञासा न होती, तो हम आज भी गुफाओं में ही रह रहे होते। इंसान की यही चाहत — क्या है? क्यों है? कैसे है? — उसे लगातार आगे बढ़ाती रही, जिससे उसने इस धरती को जाना और समझा, जिसे हम घर कहते हैं। इन cyanotype प्रिंट्स में पहाड़ उस जिज्ञासा का प्रतीक हैं। जब हम उन्हें देखते हैं तो मन में तुरंत प्रश्न उठता है — शिखर पर क्या होगा? इन पर्वतों के पीछे क्या छिपा है? यही प्रश्न जीवन को गति देते हैं। taken in Jawahar Kala Kendra by @theart.itect

i hope you find peace in this lifetime. 🪞🧩
In a world that never stops talking, fighting, comparing, competing, and demanding more from us, I hope you find a little corner of your own where everything finally feels quiet.
With everything happening around us, in India and across the world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the news, the noise, the uncertainty, and the pressure to have your life figured out. We’re all trying to keep up with a world that barely gives us time to breathe.
Maybe peace isn’t a big achievement. Maybe it’s coming home after a long day, hanging your keys on a little Lego board, looking at yourself in the mirror, and feeling like you’re exactly where you need to be.
Maybe it’s choosing yourself without guilt, walking away without hatred, starting over without shame, and learning that not everything deserves your energy.
A little reminder, made with Legos and a mirror, that life doesn’t always have to be so serious. Sometimes, the smallest things can hold the biggest feelings. 🧱🤍
So, wherever you are in life right now, I hope you find people who feel like home, moments that make you forget to check your phone, and a kind of happiness that doesn’t need to be posted to feel real.
May you find peace, not just when life gets easier, but even while you’re figuring it all out.

“Chaos in the game called LIFE”

Find your passion, keep working on it, you will Thank yourself, you didnt choose another path. At times you will feel for dropping it, but trust me, keep at it, and see.

This work represents the same, the different paths of life we take and could have taken, yet when you pause and take a look from a distance, it is still beautiful and rythamic. You dont see one single path.

We mourn, on people who we have lost, the relations which didnt worked out, and contemplate, that what we could have done differently to avoid it, but its all part of the game, the game we play called life, amazing when you see it from a distance, and chaos when you procrastinate, and overthink.

Love and peace.

The best part of being an artist isn’t always finishing the artwork. 🎨

It’s seeing someone “stop, look closer, ask questions, smile, connect with it… or simply feel something.”

Because the moment your art leaves your hands and becomes a part of someone else’s thoughts, memories or emotions, it becomes so much more than just a painting.

That’s when you realise…

You didn’t just create something.
You made someone feel something.❤️

And honestly, that’s the kind of interaction every artist secretly hopes for.

What’s the last artwork that made YOU stop and feel something? 👀👇

“ख़्वाब”
उसके लिए उड़ान तो लेनी पड़ेगी।
जब किसी को दबाया जाता है, तो उसके भीतर आज़ाद होकर उड़ने की चाह और भी बढ़ जाती है। वह फिर से वही हवा महसूस करना चाहता है, जहाँ उसके फैसले उसके अपने हों, किसी डर या दबाव के नहीं।
यही इस श्रृंखला का सार है, ऐसी दुनिया, जहाँ कोई भी अपने होने को दबा हुआ महसूस न करे और हर किसी को अपने मन के मुताबिक जीने की आज़ादी मिले। यह श्रृंखला भारत के युवाओं और दुनिया के हर उस इंसान को समर्पित है, जो अपने सपनों और अपनी पहचान के साथ खुलकर जीने का हौसला रखता है।
मुझे लगता है कि आज़ादी कभी भेदभाव नहीं करती। वह इंसान हो, जानवर हो, पक्षी हो, पेड़-पौधे हों या हवा में लहराता एक झंडा, हर किसी को एक जैसा छूती है। शायद इसलिए झंडे भी लहराते हैं और पेड़ भी झूमते हैं; क्योंकि ज़मीन से जुड़े रहकर भी आज़ाद होने का एहसास सबसे खूबसूरत एहसास होता है।

When someone is suppressed, the desire to break free and soar becomes even stronger within them. They long to feel that same breeze again, the kind of freedom where their choices are truly their own, not dictated by fear or pressure.
That is the essence of this series: a world where no one feels suppressed for being who they are, and everyone has the freedom to live life on their own terms. This series is dedicated to the youth of India and to every person around the world who has the courage to live openly with their dreams and their identity.
I believe that freedom never discriminates. Whether it is a human being, an animal, a bird, a tree, a plant, or a flag dancing in the wind, it touches everyone equally. Perhaps that is why flags wave and trees sway; because the feeling of being free while still remaining rooted to the ground is one of the most beautiful feelings there is.

Trying is cool.
Trying again is cooler.
And creating something even when you’re not sure where it’ll take you? That’s the coolest part. 🎨

Every artwork you see in an exhibition started as an idea that could’ve stayed in someone’s head. A blank canvas, an unfinished thought, a little doubt and then someone simply decided to try.

Maybe it won’t be perfect. Maybe it won’t be understood. Maybe it won’t work the first time.

But what if it does?

Keep experimenting. Keep making. Keep showing up. Because art isn’t always about getting it right it’s about having the courage to begin. ✨

Trying is very, very cool.
