The Critic

To recover from a work of art is an art in itself. You delve deep into the myriad possibilities created by the artist which he never takes the pain to enlist, project into a space with no ropes around to cling on to and take a shot at basically nothing - "Hmmm......beautiful, this is an extremely intense interplay of colors to highlight a symbiotic realisation vis a vis the protagonists' attempt at falsifying the fundamental reality behind narrator's take on psychic truth in the cultural ball" The only intelligible word being, ball. Ran into something extremely revolting, being praised by all and sundry, on probing an oblong shape and almost a bent arrow replied - "I don't know about art, but the food is good and so is wine and when high, I think I am a critic. " It feels nice to write in English at times.

And if the Wine you drink, the Lip you press,
End in the Nothing all Things end in -Yes-
Then fancy while Thou art, Thou art but what
Thou shalt be - Nothing - Thou shalt not be less.

Complete man??? 'Kartikeye', obviously people (comment no 3)could do with some instruction in language.
And boss, what's with the cheesy Raymonds metaphor, in this day and age. Gosh!
As for the post, amid the verbosity, what stands out for it's spontaneity is the idea, and what takes the bakery is the line where you say that when the food is good and you're high on wine, you become a critic. It sounds very original.

In a long while here comes a post that is not laced wih self-pity, does not wallow in existential angst, is in the face- blatant and enthused with self-confidence.
The choice of elements of vocabulary and syntax is in tune with the sense produced. felt good reading it.

As gourmat appreciates good food n connoisseur appreciates good art,i appreciate good blogs
The very purpose of idea can not be solved without appropriate usage,language n the like.
Calling some 1 complete does not necessary means he's blog is exceptionally well but.. other
things too..entrance into promised land of indian management to teaching like an ace of artist
..he is a complete man..i don't bother whether u or raymonds listen it or not..hope i'm clear
and already living..
