My journey : part 1
The name of the blog is Fashion&U and its been quite a long time that i haven't posted regarding the "U" part. Its been informative and about fashion industry in past few posts so i thought why not dedicate a personal post this time, of-course in a fashionable way.
My last personal post was a page straight out of my diary. For this one i want to share something about my journey and my new endeavours.
I was born in a very humble Bengali family based in Kolkata with typical surrounding but point to mention that i am blessed with forward thinking parents who not only gave me birth but also showed me the path of light and creativity.
I have been trained in art, particularly drawing and painting, since i wasn't even able to write and my father is my biggest inspiration. No he is not a renowned artist or an artist by profession. He had a dream and passion for drawing that could not be fulfilled due to financial conditions and art being the first thing to take the backseat when it comes to earning money to support a family. But he gave his inhibitions to me and by the time i grew up enough to understand what i am doing with my pencil , i was already in love with art. So much that i still, at the age of 25, can forget and forgo anything to just spend my entire life around art and nature.
Although art opened an unique universe altogether, i am still a part of the society that pushes you into regular academics before you can even gain conscious and the same happened to me. I was prepared to become a doctor. No, it was not forceful. One thing i must declare that whatever i have done in my life and doing is purely my own decision according to life and based on my own will.
At the age of 16 i realised that being a doctor takes too much study and time and i am not ready mentally to study till i am 30. Instead i chose Zoology as that was the closest thing i could relate to my previous long-term dream to become a doctor and also something that my society could adjust to easily.
At the age of 19 approximately, after having been studied Zoology for almost two years i found myself again in a mental turmoil and could not exactly adjust in the regular way. I wanted something out of the way for my life.
I have always been a dreamer and my choices have always been out of the regular way, something that can ignite a thought.
I decided to pursue my dreams and do something related to art. Also i have taken the decision that i will not sell my paintings because:
A. My paintings and sketches are way too personal and close to my heart.
B. I would be terrible at doing it for a career and making paintings to sell on time. I only do it at my own mood and time.
So, i decided to become a fashion designer. There was some spark while i was thinking about designing that i became sure that this was the ultimate thing i want to do with my life and hence i joined the fashion designing course, ofcourse after a lot of arguments anf fights with parents and the entire society.

If you are thinking why so much fight then you might not be from a humble middle class family of typical India.
Anyways, the next part of my journey is still going on. Stay tuned for that. I promise there is a rollercoaster ride ahead ( as if Artist-Doctor-Zoology-Fashion Designer was not enough). LOL!! See ya....
