PANNA

I may sound stupid, but i was visualizing a graph! Hehe! On the Y! axis, i have a scale which moves from "Actual to conceptual to Ideal" and on the X axis i have series of "Life events"! Well the funda is funny! We strive the ideal, absorb in conceptual till we realize the actual and work back on every life event! So...ideal demands dreaming, visualizing the most perfect aspirations, to achieve this we engage conceptually (plan, execute, list, decide, be practical etc). Many times we refuse to accept the actual (real pain which exists within us, deprived feelings within ourselves, inability to perform simple tasks, inability to love, devote, getting tired etc.)So mostly we are engaged between ideal and conceptual till we are deprived of basic things like food and water! Managing this fluctuation consciously (not by being lost) becomes our daily challenge! If we include actual in our tackling of life events, we may be merrier! I know its funny! I will stop here......

An artiste commits to a state of mind and some people say moods but i defer from the word 'mood'. They are not moods but a deeper level of conscious commitments. When you listen to Nikhil ji, say Malkauns or Rageshri, the commitments of the sate of minds are very different. With Malkauns it can be an serious intellectual (questioning types) commitment, with Ragesri itmay be very "Human" (bonding, love, relationships) kinds of commitment. With Marwa or BilasKhani Todi, it can be enjoying the historical/cultural flavor. With Shree or Bhimpalas you may have very devotional commitment. Rag demands this commitment to showcase its beauty, just like a bird demands the honest attention and secured feeling of the human to make it come near him. Training oneself in aspects of loving, devotion, intellectual questioning, enjoying historical flavor, deep human actions are essential to express them through musical forms. An artiste just tries to do this with his medium. Its amazing

User test results are like indicators bound by time and context. There are mere indicators. Narrative explanations are partly imagined, partly remembered, partly perceived,partly felt, partly realized, partly constructed. These stories may go wrong eventually but does give a material to explore for the designer to build. An insight is built as an overall narration of the observer to these tests and narratives. It is an interpretation of explanations and actions. Insights are therefore governed by questions of contexts like Business, User, Brand, Technology, Experience etc. Insights are pushed towards the arguments of truth (is it an hypothetical ideal?), nearing it with logic, reason or tools.
