Art vs. Technology

Pas­sion or Com­mit­ment.
Which would you pick? or do you need to pick?

I love art… but I’ve gotta be on top of my game at work.
Con­fused? I might be, or used to be… or kinda sort of?

Lets put this straight. We live in a very defined real­ity, the air you breathe, the food you eat, the peo­ple who face, the days you think you are the only per­son in the worse situation.

And for me, it’s the thrill of going to work each day, dis­cov­er­ing how much you lack beyond others.

In a way, much like every­one who have to face choices in life, I owe mine to two paths that I should never give up either one. Both are needed and they are part of me.

Ok, lets put it plain! and straight to my story
I went to the book­shop today in Ban­jara Hills. The Land­mark is the name of the store, got lots of stuff, con­sid­er­ing Hyder­abad that has less stuff com­pared to big­ger cities in India. I got myself 2 books.

Avatar Art Book! WoooHooo!!!

aaand­ddddd …

Perl Hacks. Yeah Lame?

The sec­ond book sub­ti­tle reads like this…

Perl Hacks - Tips & Tools For Pro­gram­ming, Debug­ging and SURVIVING!

Yup!

I’d need this book if I would to stop bug­ging every­one at work every­day to get a prob­lem fixed! Seri­ously! (ok, I sound like I’m mad at myself, but no). As much as I love the indus­try I’m work­ing for, with burn­ing fire and high expec­ta­tions, I real­ized in life, you gotta learn to bal­ance it no mat­ter how close your job is to your very interest.

I always lose out when I expect too much from some­thing that would hap­pen, so right now I’m pretty blunt most of the time. In the mean­while, I would smile and tell myself that it’s not too bad after all, I still enjoy what I love and adore. Art itself isn’t some­thing to be all stressed out or hyped out about. Being so sub­jec­tive, I rather appre­ci­ate and observe it

And where I work in, I’ve gotta catch up, and it’s always a brand new day learn­ing new stuff every time some­thing hits you when you less expect.

for now… I shall bal­ance both equally, like how much you may love your other self, you still gotta learn to love your­self first. Or as much as you think you are well off, you are still far from real­iz­ing that dream. It feels like I’m broad­cast­ing a mes­sage , and in a way, yeah.

I’m ask­ing every­one to reach out… No mat­ter how far or how vague your vision and path may seem, the moment you stop for a sec­ond and feel the breeze gen­tly brush­ing through your face, you’ll real­ize that this jour­ney is what you will remem­ber for years to come.

This jour­ney, thought it’s been a while, for me every­day it’s just begun!

So.. Art ver­sus Technology?

In a way, they are both alike and they need each other

the art of programming

and

the tech­nol­ogy of com­puter graphics

or film mak­ing!

Ohya, got some books for my mum and some friends too (nov­els are much cheaper in India)

go for your dreams! It’s a beau­ti­ful journey!
