visit to Chitrakala Parishat

My (cousin) brother visiting from Australia wanted to see the Osho home opposite to Chitrakala Parishat, Kumara Krupa Road. So I’d also had accompanied him out of curiosity. It was quite nice, a very pretty building with many books and audio material, a small meditation hall. Some of the facilities/events free for all, and some needing membership. I liked the notice outside… it was a list of guidelines in typical Osho humor eg “leave your mind and your slippers outside”

Anyway since I was anyway there, I also later on visited the Chitrakala Parishat – a wonderful art gallery in Bangalore.

There was this hall empty but for just one man – he turned out to be the artist Ramachanran Nediyanga all alone with his paintings. I whimsically asked him and then did a bit of video coverage of his paintings (with my Motorola V3i) – then asked if he could give commentry also.

He agreed and here is my first video… I wasn’t really fully focussed as I was also kind of in a hurry to get home, also the artist didn’t seem to be all that enthusiastic in general – he was expecting professional video coverage over the next few days anyway. So its an initial attempt without that much of involvement – but in any case the paintings are really beautiful.

Later on more people started to walk in.

Feedback about coverage invited…
