Art is something what you create from your imagination that comes to your mind.

A complete definition of Art, something to create from your imagination and skills that had never been created so far that resembles with reality, a master piece of beauty an environment or bulk of experiences to share with others is called as art..
Art work is called as home of imagination because you doesn't know when will a single idea can click into your mind and from that you will create a pathetic master piece. Art is nothing else it's just your imagination, way of thinking, inspiration your perception that allows you to paint all these situations on the canvas.
The sculpture or painting what an artist creates reflects his/her imagination or way of thinking about nature, peoples etc, sometimes one can so inspire from a particular thing that he/she fix it into the canvas.
Doing art work can also release tension and anxiety from some peoples, psychiatrists often says to their patients to create whatever they want by giving them pencil and a paper, in order to know what kinds of ideas are revolving in patient's mind.
These days Asian art is enjoying a vital appreciation in world art scene and buyers are increasing from American and European market. While other countries such as China, Japan, Korea and India has also made rich improvements in the art work and earned high remarks in international markets.
Artists earn a lot from their creative art work , from 2004 to 2009 the price index rose 583 percent in Asian market and Christie's auction earn the sale of $310 million in Hong Kong.
Their are vast opportunities for the artist who design creative art work form his/her imagination, it is often heard that night is the best time for an artist to think in a different way, what to create which speaks for itself because at night you had completed your daily works and its all calm and quiet everywhere and in such conditions thoughts can easily flow into your mind without any disturbance.
History of Art
The term art we use today is a modern word, the person who first created the art work probably he/she was unaware of what is inventing, and was unaware of that he/she will be called an artist later. To call some object as an art work and the word artist was raised in in the 15th and 16th centuries in Italy. In later 16 century the first academics of arts was founded in Italy then France and now it is spread over most of the developed countries.

In the age of Renaissance the word art becomes the mixture of painting, sculpture and architecture, and Italian artist start earning from it, then music and poetry were included to this group that was known as "Fine Arts" in 18 century
At last in early 20's artists starts to formulate the notion on the two dimensional surface called as canvas today and now we see a lot of work is done on canvas today and mirrors also.

Elements of ArtArt has given a way to creativity that has to be expressed in different ways, in creating a master piece that should be an example for others, involves a lot of experiences and hard work. It can only be done by fallowing the seven elements of arts.
LineLine is the starting point to make an art, It is the first element of art, an artist starts with a line having moving points, line shows different moods, behaviors and feelings of an artist. Lines convey different messages in the form of vertical, horizontal or diagonal, depending upon the artist what he wants to convey.

Shape
Shape consists of two dimensions height and width, shapes may be of various kinds, they may be oval, rectangular, square etc. When different lines emerges they form a shape depending on the creation of an artist.

FormForm gives almost 70 percent complete picture of the art, every thing has it own form without a complete form art is incomplete , form also consists of height, width and length. True value of form reflects in Sculptures and decorative kind of arts.

ValueIt is necessary that value should be equally matched with the art to create a complete picture. It includes a change in the base color, depending upon the absorption and reflection of the surface.

TextureIt lightens the image of an art and conveys the whole picture. It consists of three kinds basic, simulated and invented texture, different shades are used to enhance texture and lines do a work of catalyst.

ColorColor gives life to the art work, without color the image become dull and conveys poor message. Color consist of three qualities i.e. intensity, hue and value. Hue includes the following shades (Red, yellow or pink), value means lightness or the darkness and intensity means the brightness or dullness of the art work.

Space
Space means in which area and depth, the artist had created an art. It also means the overall volume of the art work. Space can highly define the beauty of art, with the use of space an artist can impact a great value in the mind of viewer. The intensity of creating an art becomes clear due to proper management of an art.

So if these all elements of art are fully managed it helps in creating a great art work with little effort.

At last I will say only this, "An art is something to create, what you had never created before".

Relation of Trust, The Friendship!

Friendship is a sweet relation of trust between two or more peoples to share their happiness, sorrows, feeling s of love and to help each other in the best way.
We cannot live without our friends, an individual is alone without friend, only parents are not necessary with which we can pass our life because their is also something extra that we want to do in our life such as gossip, playing, chit chat and some kind of parties and outings to enjoy in our routine life.

Every year 1st Sunday of August is celebrated as a world Friendship day. It was declared in 1935 by US Congress to dedicate the holiday of 1st Sunday by the name of Friends and name it "Friendship Day" to value this relation, at first it was only celebrated in US but then this festival become so popular that now it is celebrated almost in the whole world.

People celebrate this day by meeting their friends, bringing gifts for them, presenting friendship cards, friendship bands and go outstation for some outing etc etc, in short this day bring happiness for those how loves friendship and deserve to be a good friend.



It is believed that, if you want to know that how much a person is social in life, then counts the circle of his friendship, the greater the number of his/her friends then more social-able and enjoyable he/she will be.


Five Indicators of True Friendship
It is said that a true friend is one who criticize you in positive sense, informs you about right and wrong and point out your bad habits. It is necessary in the relation of friendship that you must know about likes and dislikes of your friend and both of you truly understand the feelings of each other.


1--Care about each other
The first sign of true friendship is that how much the friends care each other, care comes when the feeling emerges that how much you value and respect your friend and you feel that your friend needs you. For example, text messages and phone calls on my cell phone increases whenever I had to go for an interview or any of my result is going to be announced soon, that shows how much my friends cares for me.


2--Understand each others feelings
The second indicator of this relation is, to how much you understand each other. By understanding the feelings, likes and dislikes of your friend you can easily make a way towards the heart of your friend, understanding may reflects from the gifts or presents etc, but without these things friendship is just like a time pass.
Understanding feeling is just like that if your are jobless then your friend automatically search a good job for you without your saying.


3--Helps at the mean Time when they are needed
Third important indicator for valuation of friendship is the factor of help, as a common saying is, "A friend in need is a friend indeed". A true friend is one who helps in each and every part of life whether it will be financial problem or some kind of family matters.
I still remember when I was completing my graduation degree, one of my friend who was an Account Officer in a firm, he was regular in sending me my mobile credit each month because he was of the view that I am a student and will be having a limited pocket money, that shows the relation of a true friend.


4--Believe each other
Friendship is a relation in which strong believe is necessary, judge your friend if he/she fails on your conditions, judge him/her twice or thrice but don't believe blindly because every friend is not a true friend. So if you want to calculate the percentage of your friendship calculate that how much you believe each others.


5--Never get annoy or argue on small matters
The fifth and last indicator of true friendship is, to how cool and humble are the friends and love between them. If the annoy comes on small matters then it means the friendship is hollow and is not powerful and will break soon. So
if you want to build your friendship equal to elephant strength then put the evil of your annoy and arguments in a box and throw it in the river.
For example if your friend refuse to call your attendance during lecture (as nowadays students do in schools or colleges), don't get annoy as he wants you to attend the lecture because it is beneficial for you. If he/she do this then it will be a negative friendship because he/she is supporting you to bunk the lecture.



It is often seen that sometimes friendship converts into love, but it occurs in the case of boy or girlfriend, but if both of the singles are mature and serious about their life, then friendship converts into a spiritual relation of love which moves towards marriage.


Friendship Sms
Nowadays friendship messages are more popular then jokes because it makes the relation more powerful and pure and your friend come to know, that how much you value friendship. That's why I had selected few of the best messages for you.


1--Friends are like toilet rolls, they soak our worries and moments of sadness but if we hurt them they will crash into tiny, tiny pieces, but you are more then a toilet roll he, he, he.



2--Friends means no asking, no reasoning. Friends just means believing, and good friends are those who never believe on last three alphabets of friEND.


3--Friendship is never ending relationship, so if you want to end me, then end the friendship with me.



4--Friends are more like street lights they light our way when sun is down and helps us to make our way toward success. Love to friendship.


5--Friendship is like a rubber band, you can stretch it as much as you want, but don't leave it after stretching, it really hurts!



6--Friends are like carbonated water, once you drink more you desire to chill it again and again.


7--I take three doses regularly, before my breakfast, lunch and dinner. And that doses are to miss my friends and to send them that, "I Miss Them".


I will end my discussion on the sentence that, "God has gifted us friends so that we never feel alone in this world, therefore respect your friends as they add honey sweetness to our life".

Motivational Tips for Black Americans !!


Born in the family of Blacks is not a sin, but to argue that why I am black and born here, is a sin".

God has made his creature in different varieties, one of the variety is a skin color. Skin color is a gift from God, you can't change it whatever you could do, their are several reasons hidden behind this color.

And for those Muslims who are black, they better know that, It is clear in the religion of Islam that, "A person ugly in this world will be more beautiful in the next world (life after the day of Judgment) then the person who is beautiful from him/her in this world". It means, Islam is a complete religion that support all kind of Muslims whether they are of different race or sect, like other religions satisfy their believers in their own ways.




One of the strong reason is that, just imagine if all of us were white or same in color then, don't you think that the concept of beauty become vanish or the taste, recognition and balance that now we are enjoying will become root out and the life become dull, this is the main reason that why God has made us different in color, shapes and casts.


Some motivational Tips for Blacks
The main reason of writing this article is to motivate those blacks who feel themselves discomfort-able in society with their skin color. Here are some words of motivation for them.


If God had made you black then it means that he had hided some brilliant qualities in you, explore those qualities and make your way to success.

Use your inner qualities to rise upward.


It is also viewed that black peoples are more sweet then white, so use the sweetness of your tongue and face value to become more successful and ethical in life.


Make sure that skin color (black) has no hindrance in the way of your success.


Make your body straight upright, expand your chest and be confident by taking any step.


Never underestimate yourself that you are black and will not be selected.

Trust in God and remember your faith has been written by the same God who has written the faith of the white peoples.


Always remember that, the stone having dark color is more precious then a simple stone.


It is also viewed that black peoples love to laugh and are very humorous, so if you are black don't shy to laugh.


Talk with your fellows with full power, don't feel that you are black because if you feel this difference, it will decrease your courage to chat.


Skin color is just a mark of identification, it is not a key to success or failure, so change your attitude and thinking about life.


Don't let your children feel that they are black and call them by their proper names, don't call them blacki or blakish etc because it will damage their personality as well as their character.

The skin color comes to us is inherited, some times parents may be white but one of their child comes black, this is perhaps the effect of genes that cause such a situation, in such type of conditions it is necessary that parents must play their role to build high self-esteem in that child who comes black because it is necessary that a child must be confident in every aspect of life.

Some Views about Blacks
Black people love to dance and music.
They also respect their elders especially Africans it means they are very social and open hearted peoples.
Blacks are very religious and they regularly attend churches or mosques according to their religious beliefs and also love to wear special type of religious dresses to make themselves as an example for others.

The place where I live in Pakistan, my home is surrounded with lots of black peoples of different races and religions, but the important thing is that, whenever I pass beside them or meet them in my way, they always pass a smile towards me that shows how social-able and respectful they are in their life and that's why I love black peoples.


At last I will only say this, "Don't get ashamed on your black skin because God knows better than you"

Marriage pleasures in Indo-Pak

Marriage is something a, promise between two souls, to live together till death.

Couples are made in heaven, we don't know who will be our life partner in coming years, but nature always selects better then we think.

Their are too many similarities between Indo-Pak cultures, their family style of living, the way they think and the adopted culture of each other, but I am not going to discuss their culture here because it is a long discussion, I am just going to share the moments of pleasures, the bride and bridegroom enjoys during their marriage in Indo-Pak
environment.

Pleasures moments before wedding
For many singles, one of the key pleasure of getting married is the feelings, taste and the change they want to enjoy in their life before and after wedding. The preparation for wedding starts few months before in he house of bridegroom while in case of a girl it starts when she enters 15 because it becomes impossible for parents to manage everything at the mean time.

Several views before marriage
Their are several views there, about wedding like that,
"The girl will not move outside the home during sun shine because her complexion will turn dark (black)".


"Girl will not do, lot of work when she is nearly going to be married because it is necessary that bride look fresh and smart at her special day of wedding".

"The girl will not meet her fiance after engagement, they will only meet after their marriage but now the concept has been changed too much, now people think that it is better that both girl/boy meet, in order to know much about their selves".

Last three weeks before marriage becomes more comfortable for the bridegroom because he is advised not to do any physical work and take complete rest so that, to look fresh, bright and smart at the wedding day. When wedding date is as far as one week, all friends of the bridegroom gather together every evening to chit chat, dance in order to make these days memorable for the boy who is going to be married soon.

Their is a tradition in many cities of Indo-Pak that, bridegroom must have to wear a special type of hat on his head known as "Kulla" in their language so that he looks like an actual bridegroom. When wedding date is decided all the friends of the bridegroom wear same kind of dresses but the bridegroom must wear some different in color etc or the special type of dress design for the boy known as "Sherwani", so that everyone can recognize the bridegroom from a distance.

Pleasures moments after wedding
When a girl get married a new concept arises that, "Bride will start her home job after one month" or "Bride will not join the kitchen before two weeks". And it is also expected that bride must always be dress up and look pretty and the the young couple will enjoy the invitations/dinners from their relative and friends etc.


Another interesting moment after marriage comes when bride is being advised that, "She will start her kitchen job by cooking something sweet, sweet dish at the start is believed as a good sign that she will remain sincere to her new family.
I still remember the weeding months of my uncle that how they enjoyed dinners, parties and went to honeymoon to start the new life in a pleasant way.

First two months are important
First two months after wedding decides that either the control moves towards wife's hand or husband will enforce his rules on wife as well as home, and if wife get in-charge you will often see, the husband carrying morning tea to their wives in bed.
Oh! pray for those males, but it will be better if both the vehicles move parallel and listen to each other.

The culture of honeymoon is now become more popular in Indo-Pak then before and now couples feel proud to move abroad for honeymoon and enjoyment.
If we calculate the ratio between love and arrange marriages in Indo-Pak then it will be 70% for arrange marriages and 30% for love marriages, the high ratio of arrange marriages in Indo-Pak are perhaps of their strong family setup. I also interviewed many peoples, most of them are in the favor of arrange marriages. But whether the marriages are by love or arrange its up to us how we will make it successful.

Another trend is also too popular in Indo-Pak that a new bride often says, Oh! please hire a servant for the home job such as washing, scrubbing and cleaning the house etc and most of the husbands bows upon their requests to facilitate their loved ones.

Control over matters
In Indo-Pak mostly husband has a great control over their wife and home, because wives are not allowed to went out for job/earning etc. The role of wives are just limited to their homes but now the concept has been changed too much and lot of woman's are viewed at work places.

But the thing I like the most in Indo-Pak culture is that, either there is lunch or a time of dinner all the family members sit around the table and enjoy their meals, chit chat together even in such type of busy life.

God has sent all the creatures in the form of couples, even a single bee will be in couple, the main reason for making couples is to flourish love, to produce next generation and to maintain the balance in life.

At last I will say only one sentence "Be sincere with your life partner same as you are sincere with your life".

Cat-o-Phobia


"Cat is a huge hairy monster with sparking eyes and long sharp nails to tear whatever comes in his/her way", these are the feelings of immense fear, faced by a patient of cat-o-phobia.

People in our surroundings are indulged in different kind of fears, fear may be from cats, dogs, cockroaches, spiders, rats, other animals, water or from height. "Let think for a while, a patient of cat-o-phobia lying alone in his/her room at night and suddenly a cat jumped from the window into the room what will be his/her feelings or speed of heart beat? I think first think he/she will do, to shout with his full lungs power".

Cat-o-phobia becomes more immense when you fear from cats and your neighbor loves cats. In this condition what would you do, you will leave the place, ask the neighbor to sell the cats or you will lock yourself in a room, I think the best option is to consult with your neighbor that he/she should bring those cats outside, when you are out of that place or the other best option is that," you must lessen your fear because these are not lions just cats".


Ailurophobia or Galeophobia
Cat-o-phobia is also termed as "ailurophobia", it is derived from Greek word, "ailouros" means cat and "phobos" means fear. Ailurophobia is something different from fear of cats because it is more than dislike or fear of harm, in ailurophobia patient suffer from immense fear and anxiety.

Causes of Ailurophobia

It is believed that cat-o-phobias are more swear in females then males, because females has low bearing power. Sometime patient doesn't know why he/she fear from cats, it may be,

Some bad past experiences in the childhood.
Sometimes parents also transfer their anxiety about cats to their children.
It may be some superstitious problem as the peoples of Indo-Pak believe that "If black cat cross their path it is not good for their mission".
Or cats are related with some kind of black-magic or evil etc.


Indications of Ailurophobia
Once I was attending a marriage party of my friend's elder brother, we were having dinner, the lady standing beside me suddenly starts shouting, everyone looked at me but then realized that she was patient of ailurophobia, the indications I noted are,


She was asking for water, means her dry mouth.
Sweating.
Intense fear.
Other indications to these peoples may be,
Nausea .
Heart symptoms.
Toughness in throat etc.


How to minimize this Fear
This type of fear can be tackled by the help of qualified physician, consult thoroughly discuss all the modes and problem you faced after viewing a cat. But here are some tips to minimize this fear.

Treatment by therapy.
Suggest the patient, "She is just a cat, she produces no harm, look how tiny she is".
Show photos of cats.
Insist the patient to watch the cats from window that these are not lions.
Make a believe that cats are so cute with soft hairs and they very rarely harms the people.
Watch a movie that shows cat is nice pet animal, etc.


I understand the feelings of the person who fear from cats because I also have a some kind of phobia that is height-o-phobia, but cat-o-phobia is more immense because you doesn't know from which street or house a cat can suddenly emerge in front of you.

But let think for a while that, "You had limited your life, and the reason is just a cat". So don't get scared enjoy your life with full power as life is no more then 4 days.

Don't angry if your staff does mistakes because mistakes are the pathways to correction. The success that come after mistake is much worthy because it contains bundles of experiences. But be clear to the to staff that mistake must not increase from two or three times, it should not be repeated in future. Create such type of environment that contains experiments and learning, it will boost up the company performance.

While you are standing in the market , you must have to use all your senses for the benefit of company. View the market conditions, competitors policies, incoming threats, take full advantage of existing opportunities and use your strengths in a proactive manner to perform in a fluent way.

Step 10, Open your door for employees

Give time to your staff, view their problems, wants, know their ideas for the benefit of company, it will create your respect and trust in the eyes of employees and also build confidence. When employees are satisfied then your company performance will automatically boost to the high level of perfection.

At last I will only say this, hang out this sentence in your office because a single sentence, may make a lot of difference.

"Treat the business as your home"
