Art for the sake of art

The moment I saw an article about someone called Amita Chandekar, I was stunned. Here’s a ravishing, long legged lass with a hidden passion, and I’d never heard of her before. Shame on Manoj.

Acting isn’t the only passion for Amita Chandekar. The long-legged lass likes spending her free time with a paper and pencil in hand. [Link]

I got over my disappointment and kept reading…

Amita recalls the time her brother challenged her to sketch Jesus Christ for him. “He had a very tiny picture of Jesus, and asked me to copy it.

His point was, if I could do that, I would be good at my art. I drew the sketch and showed it to him, and that’s when he started appreciating my talent.” [Link]

Amita draws pictures of Jesus. Secularism 1. Fundamentalism 0.

And like all long-legged lasses do, Amita has some advice for us long legged asses:

Has she ever thought of holding an exhibition? “No, since acting takes up all the time, I haven’t really considered displaying my work. I like watching the work of other artists — it’s a gift that everyone should cultivate…” [Link]

Exactly, sweetie. And so, strictly in the spirit of her advice, we present you this picture.

Take a deep breath, and chant with me: “What a piece of work!”

PS: I vehemently deny that this whole post was just a verbose excuse for posting an Ileana picture. Shame on you for suggesting that. Why would I have to do that?

Here, let me post another one without any verbiage. Eat your words, please. (after you are done chanting, otherwise Ms. Chandekar might be offended).

    Ah, finally someone who wasn’t fooled by the Amita picture and decided to come in.

    Welcome, and I am still chanting, btw.
