KNOWLEDGE

How do you quantify knowledge?

There is no instrument to measure it.

To me knowledge is the essence of human existence.

We as a species are nothing without it. Right from the beginning, the humans evolved only because of their thirst for knowledge.

When I was a teenage, I too had a thirst for it. I would read articles on any topic on Readers Digest.

One day, I stumbled upon this article of grey lag geese and thought they looked so unique.

I read about them and was fascinated by their migratory pattern.

I decided immediately that I wanted to paint them.

My teacher said that it’s going to be a challenge to get the details since I was still a student.

But I was stubborn and went ahead with it.

It took me about four months just to get the details of the feathers right, but I never gave up.

Today, when I look at my painting, I still feel the fascination of the geese. They never quit despite the lengthy hours of flying.

They are so beautiful I feel.
