Internet

Its not going to be a big story..

All I was checking was about different websites addressing different subjects in India.

Loads of them have very unique approaches.

I am frequent reader of Yahoos Today section. There I found this site real worth mentioning.
Very unique concept for India, Delhi moms.com, its all about what mom or to be mom wants for her kids...right from tips to school to vaccines & what not!!

I think its simply great way for networking, being alert & aware is need of hour.

Thats the impact of Globalization... brings Indian women at different par all together..

for those who would like to visit- Delhi moms


All Geared well!!

Art and Entertainment

Hello ...

Yup! Here I am with the discussion I mentioned, in my early post. It was pretty long discussion, between me and Shantanu (my Husband).

To understand sociology is layman term, Sociology is all about society and  whatever we feel, believe, adopt comes under ‘society’ is pure study of the subject.

Ok! Now, coming to Art and  Entertainment.

Art and  Entertainment... Much spoken subjects at different level, but they are much correlated concepts.

Art is a process and Entertainment is medium to enjoy the process. Art as process plays a bigger role.

Entertainment is requirement, want of Human, whereas Art is inherited or Learn able process, one has to ‘like’ doing it.

Art to call it Art has to be ‘entertained’ by Human to come to its true value, what makes a monument great creation, OR music to call it charming. It is been ‘entertained’ by someone, for it to reach that valuable position.

Even though Art being process, it could be seen in any form, dance, music, cooking, painting, decorating as we understand. But here is another view, living Happy life is very much part of Art (I am not follower of any group or thinker!) . If that can be Art than walking, riding bike also is form of Art.

A controversial observation, every Art has its target. Let’s look at example, a good painting, has to reach its audience to enjoy it. The target is its Audience, and than their liking.

Similarly, the riding bike is also an art. It is destination which can’t be the target of Art. Than whats the target? Could be duration or route? Subsequently one of it could be entertainment. To be more accurate, the enjoyable part of it is reaching the destination, in particular time, with easiest way, or riding bike logically to reach in time, on crowded road. All this will be Art and  so entertained.
I don’t want to hurt sentiments, of anyone when I am writing about sex (it is still, not openly spoken subject in India).In recent readings I found that, sex is language of love. But before that, I think, it is art. Art to perform sex, ultimate aim or target is physical satisfaction. In mythological terms it would union of two soules to one!
But it is for entertainment! (I know this would lead to controversy... but yes! this is another point of view to this! )

Art is ongoing process; target will differ from individual to individual.

Let’s consider, Art and Entertainment in Indian context. Art is tradition to India. An ruler or king who with is unique method ruled the dynasty, war or trade. The methods these king use to win the war. Here, Art now merges into a sense of achievement and pride with entertainment.

Similar to industry, equipments, Arts and  technology also impacted with concept called Globalization or westernization. ‘Art’ term its self took new reach, sometimes invisible one! Entertainment is also getting affected to a great extent.

Entertainment much felt and viewed arena.

In India, few years back it differed from women to men.

At initial stage, Women enjoyed celebrating festivals or meeting at home. Later added with shopping and  hoteling. Now, they join up men, in disco or pub over a drink and smoke.

For men it was not much difference, I guess, except women joining them ;)

Disco, where many people dance that dance is also a form of art. In that sense, the partner is not treated as object but performer. Partner completes the from of art. Similar could be case with a drink, which is social taboo for women in India.

The Art and entertainment will differ from strata to strata. Each class has their own requirements.

The collaboration between Art & entertainment is so much invisible. It is much arguable also. Both end up having the target & vision to look a head!

To conclude, it is matter of prospective to see & feel!
We have to find out the right difference between Art & Entertainment. Then we should be able to optimize our creations to achieve right balance between these two or use Art as a process effectively & to develop innovative ways use new technology as new entertainment medium. How can we make the Art as a process stronger by using new technology entertainment medium?

This also opens up another door to discussion. Indian Media/ TV industry …are they using their Process (Art) & the (Mediums) Entertainment effectively...I guess not.

Thats was my view!
Have a Artful Day!!!
