Through my eyes..

So my previous blogger account was hacked by somebody, I didn't know people enjoyed hacking blogs. Something new.

I gave the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test the other day and now I can't stop thinking..
What will be the cutoff?
Will i make it through the merit list?
What if I don't get a valid score?
What if all my answers were wrong?...

So, in order to distract myself from the tiring process of thinking about "results", I decided to go through the works of Vincent Van Gogh(my favorite artist). I ended up looking at two oil paintings for a more than 20 minutes.Sound weird?I'll explain.

Girl in the Woods.
"Girl in the woods" caught my attention because it actually was a lot like my situation at present. I am not saying I am blogging from some a jungle right now(that would be fun by the way), but the loneliness and peace it depicts was very much what i wanted. It feels like she is in search of a path to inner peace or maybe just wanting to rest for a while in silence of the woods. Away from the world. The earthy tones conveyed how she wanted to stay connected to nature and just observe it quietly.

Starry Nights Over the Rhone
Next was the beautiful starry night. I felt like taking the rusty boat into the waters and watch the lights from the town and the sky merge together in the river. Blue( my color) is dominant and reflects the cool and tranquil mood of the picture.

I love Van Gogh's work and I am literally shocked by how some people find his paintings very kiddish because his color palette was limited and his strokes were bold, little do they know that simplicity is an unknown art that comes from within.You cannot teach it.

Absorbing the beauty through my eyes,I  finally calmed down. All the thoughts that were juggling in my head before rested in peace.
