Interpretations



I posted this painting of mine, as my Orkut profile pic sometime back and since then I've been collecting its interpretations from various people. Most of them are quiet technical, quite natural, knowing that most of my friends have an engineering background. Some are imaginative, some hilarious! But whats exciting about it is... the way different eyes can conceive it and associate so many different meanings with it!
Here's a list of them ranked according to their frequency (not putting in my original thought when I made it. Most of you know it by now) Enjoy...
  1. An idiotic painting (very true! :D)
  2. Cupboard (crude, quite close though)
  3. Building with bricks (carried away a bit by the presentation)
  4. Some carpentry (influenced by colors and texture probably)
  5. Pillars (due to line strokes I guess)
  6. Painted Glass hues (quite artistic)
  7. Boat/Ship upturned (wild thought..quite interesting though)
  8. Bamboos (hehehe...that was awesome!)
  9. Sofa - top view (engineer's mind... or is it someone lost in furniture world :P)
  10. Old 1950's radio, with wooden legs and a broken antenna (thats interesting again)
  11. Top view of a sloping roof house with the sun's reflection coming directly on top (I am really not sure if I understand 'sun's reflection...' :P)
  12. With head tilted to the right, looks like a factory with chimneys, surrounded by a yellow wall - some German factory (people like to tilt a lot...)
  13. Radiator of a car (No clue..)

Creativity of the Subconscious...(5)

War

I am at some beach...happily enjoying the cool sea breeze. Actually, we (me and my friends...cant remember who all..) are playing with a huge yellow colored ball....cracking jokes, having fun. Somehow I missed a catch and the ball went into the water...with the waves it just drifted away. I thought I lost it..but only for a moment. With the next wave it was back! I threw it back into the waves..again the same thing!
I liked this game better!! It was me vs the Sea! The idea itself was thrilling! I threw the ball again into the waters...with waves it was gone. I waited..all excited! Here it came again..Oh my! its a big one! "Thats interesting!" I ran a little and just managed to get away from the splash. "Hey!!" I said to my new playmate, "cudn't really get me!!! tch tch tch" and I threw the ball again into the water.
I was again waiting..this time it was taking longer...I couldn't see the ball yet. I was anxious now...whats happening? I wanted to see far...I climbed up a nearby rock..."Oh Oh!!! Dont take it seriously! Stop! Stop!"

....and I woke up... all shaken by the grandeur of the sight! I saw a huge mountain like wave building up and marching fast towards the beach...as if my playmate had summoned his entire army to stage a war against me. "You dint have to make it that interesting!" I murmured, getting back to sleep.
