The Power of Perception

Couple years ago my company - Azure Knowledge Corporation, completed a  decade of growing operations. To mark the landmark the company organized an in-house painting competition for all those who wished to participate. Almost everyone did. I did too.

We were informed about the competition and its theme two days before the event.

The theme for the competition was “My Azure” (Not related to Windows Azure).    

Since, I have a passion for sketching, painting and colors of course; I too participated in it. To be very honest, I held the brush and dipped them in  colors after almost two decades.

With having two days on hand, I started to perceive in my mind as to what I would sketch and paint on a theme which I haven’t worked on, ever before.

The picture above is exactly what my mind perceived and my right hand did the rest. I sketched a very famous landmark in one of the fastest growing cities in western India - Ahemdabad and splashed colors on to it. 

The competition was tough with hundreds of participants and excellent paintings each one had, I thought my ordinary painting would not stand a chance at all, but to my utter disbelief and surprise I stood THIRD.

I believe if we use this power positively; our World surely would be peaceful and harmonious to live in.
