An altarpiece of circuits and memories- CIRCUITS OF EXPRESSION by Artist Dibyendu Seal

Artist Dibyandu, at present, being an insightful night owl, seated on the edge of the huge Corinthian pillar of his ancestral home,visualizes the old yet sterling memories of his childhood, his roots surpass into an codified contraption. His memories now amalgamates into his present contemporary perspectives of being an engineer yet internally he longs to go back to the unimpeachable and comforting days he has spent in his village home. Thus what is born out of hustle between an immense longing to go back to the unadulterated days yet not deny the present pursuit to be a responsible software engineer is CIRCUITS OF EXPRESSION.

         

                                                                                                                                                                    Recently, Dibyendu held his first solo exhibition at The Lalit, Kolkata in association with Art exhibitor Nostalgia Of Colors. The exhibition saw the presence of eminent personalities from the art fraternity, to name a few, Artist Abhijit Dutta, Curator and Gallerist, Ms. Aban Desai, Artist Aditya Basak, Narayan Sinha, also present was, Mr Kishore Samtani, Ms Mondira Verma and Ms. Renuka Rath among others.  On having been able to put forward my curious self, I asked him  "How do you perceive your present theme from a layman's way of thinking?" Dibyendu said, " I am the owl here, quietly sitting and being observant, I can see the vivid memories of my village days gradually devolve into the codified virtual images". He has his moments of sudden realization that the old, soulful days are now being overlapped by pixel-led versions. He wants his viewers to connect with the similar emancipated thought. He has playfully mixed technical circuits to the storytelling about his left behind memories.

  My personal favorite out of the many was an illustration on canvas board portraying an almost real to the eyes "fish" who happened to get depleted into a computer keyboard. As I was too engrossed in visualizing that how palatable the fish looks,  Dibyendu did pull my vision to the very minutely yet constructively detailed ''Power Button" on the bottom left of the canvas. 

 

The hospitality partnered by and delivered to the guests present on that eve was,  The Bakery by The Lalit Great Eastern, Kolkata. The evening saw the footfall of guests and art enthusiasts from all ages groups. The friends from media also covered the event with utmost zeal. I must mention here the  sumptuous snacks adding to the hi tea was well served. Dibyendu seemed very enthusiastic to answer every query that the viewers would come across. He happened to be a patient host and an insightful artist at the same time.  Wish him the very best on his well curated "Circuits of Expression" which surely keeps us glued in much hope towards his upcoming projects.

Fashion at Dusk and The Sky-deck...... 

I am a lover of open-sky roof top expanses when it comes to spending a good, quality evening pondering on various contents for my Blog while visualizing the sun setting at the horizon. For this current outfit shoot I chose Deck 88, The Astor Hotel, Kolkata's beautifully curated colonist-urban roof top deck. Nestled in the heart of the city, The Astor is a luxe hotel and is one of the most sought after. The ambiance and the British-Colonial architecture of Deck 88, served as the most apt canvas for my portrait shots. The hotel's color schemes of the 100 year old colonist palette and the oblivion created by the half-light dusk made an empowering effect to my photo-shoot. The PR Team was extremely encouraging and supportive. I was happy and elated to have had received some impact worthy pictures for my Blog and all of these happened while I could see the City Of Joy from the top.  

Coming to the ensemble of the moment, I am an ardent solace seeker from denims and with the high waited ones, I feel highly inclined on them. Since it accentuates my bodily proportions and is gonna help you hide the previous night's yummy-tummy-full-of-biriany. Yes, all you lovely ladies out there, this season embrace high wasted denims in all colors and patterns. I have teamed up my favorite pair of denims with a chic and simple halter top. Well let me mention here, BK Market in Kolkata has some really cool tops and shirts to offer. My denims are from Forever 21 and my heels are from Truffle Collection. 

 

Blogging lets me roam around and hunt for exquisite locations to click pictures. Deck 88 was one such awe-inspiring site. While the wind gushes around, the opulence of luxury and comforts of the deck, lets you have fun and be your best. The hospitality was on point too. Coming back to my outfit deliberations, I chose to keep the color schemes minimalistic. White resonates comfort and elegance at the same time. This season calls for some knitted tops paired with denims and trousers. 

So while I sipped on my blue lagoon, I felt extremely comfortable in what I wore. This attire screams comforts for me (Keeping my heels aside if I have to hit the dance floor....!!!!).... 

Deck 88 with its royalty is surely gonna get me keep coming back here.....................

The Athleisure Style Game...

Mix Function With Fashion..

Ever since the styleword "athleisure" was added to the fashion dictionary in 2017, the look was very much about staying sporty and comfortable. Athleisure is defined as “casual clothing designed to be worn both for exercising and for general use.”  Yoga leggings, and sports bras made for simple outfits that, most of the time, were meant to blend in. In a chic athleisure, you could hop from the gym to brunch without being washed out in either temperament. 

Recently the Athleisure got a bolder update with influence from high-fashion brand collaborations like Victoria Beckham x Reebok. The athleisure look has come to center on memento style items that turn heads on the street. 

Taken the slinky mesh detailed crop tops and off-course teaming it with a Nike Gym Pants steals the deal. Either color-block it or go monochrome. The entire look means more time going-out and less time going to gym or you have both. Nail the athleisure look by mixing function with fashion

For a day time stroll or just a sporty leisure jog in the spring mornings, such can be well designed with the most comfy gym T-shirt paired with your favorite gym pants. Stick to a sleek, sports vibe but add a touch of your personal style. A pair of aviator sunglasses or a stylish backpack will all work perfectly.

Color-blocking can never go wrong to make your days look more energetic and definitely sporty. The key rule is "The more casual the occasion,the more functional (activewear/sportswear/gym-wear) you can dress.The true beauty of athleisure is that it’s both practical and completely fashionable.

Do’s and Don’ts of Wearing Athleisure

Do mix sports pieces into your regular fashion wardrobe for a balanced look.

Don’t throw on any old thing you’d wear to the gym. 

Don’t forget about your signature style and look, just reinterpret it.  

Don’t go overboard with bright colors and prints.
