Leo the king
Quite frankly…I have been a no gooder in any art form…drawing…painting…singing…dancing…NONE. Im rather a “how does that work?” kind. My artistic quotient is limited to the geometric shapes and diagrams related to my technical studies. But I do appreciate the art work all the same…any form…errr…almost any form…Poetry goes way over my head…most of the times. I just can’t imagine/appreciate a boy and girl walking hand in hand over moon 😛
I have always believed that anybody who can do anything that I can’t is worthy to be admired. Admiring is one thing…but to be overwhelmed by some one’s work is completely another.
Scientist, Mathematician, Engineer, Inventor, Anatomist, Painter, Sculptor, Architech, Botanist, Musician and Writer…yup…that’s Leonardo Da Vinci for you and me.
Honestly, I have heard of only one other person who is just as impressive…Ashok Gehlot…for those who haven’t heard of this name…you really are missing one of the wonders of Indian politics. He is the Chief Minister, Finance Minister, Home Minister, State Excise Minister, Public Works Minister, Urban Development Minister, Housing Minister, Forest and Environment Minister, Youth Affairs and Sports Minister, Mines Minister, Social Justice and Empowerment Minister, Waqf Minister, Information Technology and Communications Minister, Food and Civil Supplies Minister and finally….phew…Energy Minister of RAJASTHAN…at least as on 08-Jan-2009. Frankly…this is just inhuman…i mean superhuman…ooops :P. Am just wondering if DaVinci is any match to this guy at all !!! Way to go Ministerji.
Coming back to DaVinci, though I have never really come to appreciate the speciality of Monalisa, what i can really really appreciate is the fact that it has inspired many artistes worldover and still continues to be considered a master piece. His work on anatomy…well…he is someone who proved that heart is not made of two parts like 
…instead is slightly more complex :)…not to forget all the diagrams for the human bones and skulls!!! His work is equally ashtonishing in all the fields. You can ofcourse get more precise and interesting insight from Wikipedia.
There is nothing you can’t learn…all you need is the motivation and interest!!! I truly truly believe in this…and atleast two people have led me to this realisation…Da Vinci and Ashok Gehlot…
Cheerio
The Write Side of Me 
To the creative genius, Leonardo, I submit my salutations!
As Scott Wilson quotes – “Nothing happens until I make it happen”, you jus gotta have that passion and keep it burning.
Good write up! 🙂
interesting groundwork of a politician for once! but your deduction of poetry is amusingly premature!! and about Mr Vinci,oh well, one of those rare things that happened to this universe! Einstein, him, only “genius” can explain them. Inspiration a plenty!
and now. with the recent development in mr gehlot s status.. am not sure if i care how many posts he holds, because its null if he continues to hold his opinion as right, worse force it down ppl’s throats.
