People always make the mistake of thinking art is created for them. But really, art is a private language for sophisticates to congratulate themselves on their superiority to the rest of the world. As my artist’s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance. - Calvin

Sleepless in anticipation, excitement

Most people gear up for something grand by catching up on some much needed sleep and waking up fresh and replenished. Not me. I remember going for my most important assignments, interviews, dates, journeys and the likes, wide awake from the night before. Inspite of being too old to understand how utterly stupid it is, the anticipation of what lies in store just does not allow me the liberty of even a few winks. Life's passing just too fast before our eyes, sleeping and waking up for something substantial just does not seem like giving the occasion its rightful due. Having said that pardon me if I have ever met or meet you with seemingly bloodshot, dreamy eyes, they might have been stretched beyond their might, just for you...
