BOOT DIFFERENTLY…….
And give a kick start to a new way of thinking !

BOOT differently is a cryptic crossword clue :

What it indicates …is that BOOT is a jumbled word….. it needs to be rearranged…..it could be OOBT…

And OOBT stands for …..

OUT OF BOX THINKING

So get ready to BOOT differently and…..

…..you shall start a new process of…

»  CREATIVITY

»  LATERAL THINKING

»  RIGHT BRAIN THINKING

So let us burst the DAM…… become MAD….. as only madness can give birth to creative processes !

To solve a well designed crossword riddle, one has to use ones knowledge & awareness…..

But one also has to be imaginative, think creatively and become Out of Box !

So here goes…..

If you ROW SHIP sensibly… you can cross this sea of sorrow ! This means that you can WORSHIP … and be happy !

And if we say OURS senselessly…. this could turn things SOUR !

So please DARE to do differently …my DEAR !

And if you BEGIN anew with a direction… you would become BENIGN !

Your PSYCHOTHERAPIST could well be PSYCHO THE RAPIST !

And did you get the gift of the endless MAGIC ? (MAGI)

Well it possibly is…a month ! (MAY)

Condition of the Country ! (STATE)

Different WHO is also a question ! (HOW)

Avoid a short dress ! (SKIRT)

Letters of Spirit
Posted by bhaskar benjamin on Oct 30, 2008 in Literature

Mr. Vincent Van Gogh
Life Time Unsung
Too Late Mansions
Never Mind

Dear Vincent:

You must be wondering why am I writing to you. Probably the only person who has ever written to you, in the past, has been your brother Theo.

Anyhow, one must be open to the ever changing world. hope you are doing fine ! What is the score ? Do you still paint a canvas a day…or have you stopped counting !

You may have forgotten the Belgian Coal mines.. but I still cant forget those gray mornings and charcoal Potato Eaters… Or were they Potato Growers !

Life is quite dull….except an occasional auction at the Sotheby’s.

Do you know that money has lost its value since you left the scene ? People are literally throwing it away…at Art ! Yours included !

Now don’t feel sad if you had been going food less for days… At least now you HANG around in some of the richest art galleries of the world !!!

How do you feel…after all this success ? Hope it wont go into your head !

I was never aware that you too had a strong business head on your shoulders ! Only the other day I found your ‘sunflowers’ in a commercial advertisement. It seems you must have made a fat sum for this tie-up !

I cant imagine that you shall change this way !

Love to asylum doctor .

Impressionistically yours,

WET PAINT

A fruit-less conversation…between two mavericks An Man and Zun Zach….

An Man: Man goes …why… man goes?

Zun Zach: Man goes for no reason it seems…man goes!

An Man: Is it the season…for the man goes?

Zun Zach: ….it is quite out of season! still the man goes !!!

An Man: What is the reason …that man goes?

Zun Zach: Man goes as the reason has left ! Ah! man goes !

An Man: Does the Man go as he has a go?

Zun Zach: A man goes as he has ego!

An Man: When the man goes…where does he go?

Zun Zach: when a man goes…he really goes!

An Man: When he knows he has no go…still the man goes?

Zun Zach: Every man goes…that is why the man goes!

An Man: Will he ever get the fruit… for the man goes?

Zun Zach: Man goes fruitless….yet the man goes!

An Man: Does he come back…when the man goes?

Brush with Poetry
Posted by bhaskar benjamin on Oct 25, 2008 in Features, Poetry Painting Combination

Dear Readers:

While we were in the process of finalizing our first issue of Pegomag

I thought I should share with you …..one of my favorite ideas….

Thematic poetry-painting combination

Brush with Poetry - Colored Vision

Colored Vision

If green is the color of leaves…it cant be the color of envy!

If blue is the color of sky…how can I ever feel blue ?

If red is the color of a glowing sunset…how can red stand for danger….

If black is the color of a starry night…how can black bring bad luck…

If white is the color of a new-born day…white cannot stand for mourning !

All colors reflect life and beauty….let us not simply color our vision
