An artist-cum-architect-to-be was hammered to disintegrate on the anvil of parental authority in 1971 when I almost got admission in the National College of Arts to complete my graduation in Architecture. Since then I have been striving hard to gather the scattered bits and pieces in the debris of a devastatingly shattered dream and very much hurting and haunting memories.
People thought that the chapter of Arts Mania had been closed by force but they were wrong. The genes are immortal. Having failed in achieving targets does never mean that it is the end of an expedition. And it is not essential at all that only the champs could become best coaches or the best coaches are bound to have been champs. At least this is what Saalikology is all about, seeing things in a different (or perhaps in a distorted) perspective.
Anyway, this blog has been created to capture the prints of creativity, being left by the blessed visionaries who perceive things that majority overlooks and see the beauty with a distorted angle of vision. It is just like stealing memories from the shadows of vanishing moments of life.
Being a positive thinker and born fighter, carrying an Afghani bloodline in veins, I shall be doing my level best to accomplish what I have undertaken to do without any sources and resources at the moment.
The process could be slow or dead slow at times, to say more explicitly, but it would continue because it has to be for retaining my own sanity and personal integrity.
Regardless of all the negative factors forcing me to take solace in self-pity and pessimism, I am going to resist all stress and pressure exerted by the circumstances. This is what I have been doing since premature birth that cost my mother's life and landed me in the hands of so kind, soft-hearted, sympathetic and loving caretaker women of motherly stature.
Look forward to maximum cooperation from all the concerned quarters.
