Chapter 10: My Talent Discovered


Proof-positive that I was a born artist.

How My Mother Discovered, A. That I Could Draw, and B. That I was Left-Handed

She smelled something from my nursery, rushed in and saw that I was standing up in my crib and drawing on the wall*.... with my left-hand index finger... having dipped it into the contents of my diaper. I thus proved my early resourcefulness in making the most of limited technology.

From this my mother optimistically deduced that there is a difference between a shitty artist and a shitted artist.

I did my best to develop out of the first category, but found myself constantly challenged to cope with the second.

However, from such a beginning I had nowhere to go but upward...

And that is why I am now in a position to tell you how to do it.

* The shitty wall painting was not preserved.

Dear Ashutosh,

In case you will ever read this, I think there is hope for you.

The thing is that you need to find a way to communicate with people/company you want to work with. I am sure you will be creative enough to do so.

There are enough artists who get contacted by e-mail instead of phone. Just keep offering your values, and be inspirational to others. I know that there are people out there waiting to be taken by surprise. And you need to make sure that you can overcome the things that limit you.

God bless!

Dear Sir

I went through your work and i am deeply inspired by it.

I know 3D Max & Maya skills.I am also an artist.

But I am deaf and it is i\coming in my in getting gainfully employed in this field.Nobody is accepting me because I am deaf.

With high hopes, I am pleading you to help me in this regard, if it possible for you. I do not even know whether this mail will reach youand read by you.

I hope you will spare little time to guide me.

May God bless you.
