Arts vs Entertainment

Title: Arts vs Entertainment

It was raining and I was thinking about establishing branding for my company in the long run..

Then it hit me that arts and entertainment has a intricate relationship.. Arts in terms of theatre, dance, musicals are a subset of entertainment..

Yet it is a very niche set of entertainment that is not mass appealing.. Most people want entertainment that is easily digestible and high entertainment value.. But often this kind of entertainment does not help you in any sense perhaps in destressing?

Arts itself has also a few categories: commercial and non profit companies.. Of course, judging by the names, it would have given away which one has more in depth meaning within..

The circle of arts and entertainment do overlaps.. They share the same media to publicize and spread the word.. The prominent people are few and little.. Those with power and prominent ones are even fewer..

No wonder when one is in the circle long enough, almost everyone is like a friend or a foe. For by then, all the true colours would have been shown..

Will I survive long enough to see the colours? I guess so and I believe so..

Blunt Me..

Title: Blunt Me
Sometimes I am over frank and that in my opinion is being blunt.. I may stop myself in time if I am in the company of not so familiar people..

Hence, only those who are rather close with me see my blunt side..It's always hard to be frank yet tactful because the truth hurts occasionally.. Yet I yearn for nothing but the truth..

There are certain things I know in my heart that I should not ask.. Yet I still ask to get the confirmation and assurance that my gut feel is accurate..

But so what if the gut feel is accurate? The issue remains unsettled. I never believed in letting a small issue dangle because somehow one day it will accumulate and become a big issue..

Perhaps it's really not a minor issue afterall. Just let me think it through and come to a conclusion and I'll be fine..

The heart sinking feeling is kinda awful and suddenly I realizes this is the fear of losing and attachment.. I guess this is what most of us will go through it anyway..

Still thinking and thinking..

The Start of Chapter 2

Title: The Start of Chapter 2
Happened to remember my blog and decided to take a look at the last post.. Oh boy! It was in Oct, 2 months back..
The start of Dec marked the start of Chapter 2 in my life. Chapter 1 has come to an end.. How do I define Chapter 1?
My definition of Chapter 1:
The end of the conventional education path
The end of being a 'recognised' student and its benefits
The end of having no proper income
The end of contract job at Catcha
So hence what is my definition of Chapter 2?
Chapter 2:
Start of new career
Start of new relationship e.g. working, personal, spiritual
Start of adult-hood into the coporate world
Start of all sorts of planning and the so called responsibilities
I guessed everyone has to go through it no matter how unwilling one is.. This is called growing up..
The trip in nepal is a fruitful one. It has changed my life in ways that are beyond words.. You will know what I mean if you are in my shoes..
Thank you to my spiritual friends for everything along this trip.. All of you hold a significant place in my heart..
