The Delhi Collage of Art

How many of you love fine arts? I bet most of you. Not necessarily painting something significant but just the activity of drawing and colouring. But how many of you have actually taken classes for it? I bet very few. The reasons maybe many. From hearing art is 'unimportant' from elders to being 'not good enough' to pursue arts as a profession. Or worse, you being told that one cannot sustain one's life with art. Sounds familiar? It did with Mr Ashwani too. Now who's this person? Mr Ashwani Kumar Prithviwasi deserves to be called a living legend because of his contribution in the field of fine arts.

Dr Bhavna Shah, country representative of MPOC India/Srilanka opened our eyes a...

When you plan to visit the Qutab Minar but you get late, then what do you do?  Did you know that Qutab Minar closes at 5 Pm and then again reopens at 6? Well I did not! I was unlucky enough to reach there at that window period. So what did I do? I explored the other ruins in its vicinity! Thankfully, there is no dearth of monuments in Delhi! Coming to the outfit, what's a better way to dress up on a chilly winter evening? A warm coat and a polo neck tee!
