Life of Art and Art of Life

Artists are known for its other worldly creativity; a pragmatist lives and loves to denounce what is known as unselfish creation. Creators loves the process of creation, and forgets if people will like my creative outcome? Creativity is never a full stop, rather it is a process of becoming, a process of unending colons, semicolons, and commas. Artists can never fake if one is true and devoted to the process of creativity. Art is not/ cannot be deceptive otherwise it will fail to the status of art in becoming. Art is more real than sensual reality, more surreal than hyper reality, more authentic than pragmatic wisdom. Life is for that matter a project of art; you have a choice to fake it or accept it; what it offers. Life cannot be understood, it can be lived, it cannot be a project of masteries or to solve the mysteries; more we unravel even bigger questions surround us, trap us in various complexities. Life is a project to uncover happiness in small things. Be an artist instead of Wiseman! An aesthetic mind is near to the truth of life. In words of Rabindra Nath Tagore, "Through our sense of truth we realize law in creation, and

through sense of beauty we realize harmony in the universe".

Every mind, opens its horizon to discover what is sublime and beautiful, is capable to live here and now; every mind who is able to appreciate the pain and suffering, is true to itself; no deception is here practiced; artist in that sense is in making.

Same Sex Marriage Verdict: Apolitical Politics of Court

Every judgment of the Constitutional court solves and unsolves certain fundamental questions. Court often takes two steps forward and one step backward (Shklar). Navtej Johar was rightly celebrated as a progressive judgment which recognised same sex relationships on the touchstone of constitutional morality. In a way, judgment progressively explored the colonial and post-colonial politics and reviewed Section 377, IPC from the perspective of constitutional morality emanating from the "objective purposive interpretation", a concept devised by Justice Aharon Barack, a former judge of Israel Supreme Court.
