I am the Ache of the Ignorance

I travel, i leave but i still arrive. I am sometimes blind, I stumble, and fall but i open my eyes, I rise and go ahead. I explore, get lost but i still reach. I write, I speak. I may be misunderstood, but i yet become deciphered. I wish to gather the adjectives, epithets, vocabularies and synonyms in all languages. I seek the cup of comprehension. I am Time, I visit old ruins, monuments and historical sites to relive myself. I am Art, I create myself. I am Rhythm, i try to find lyrics and melody of life. I am the Ache of the Ignorance, i try to find the pain of all that i still donot know. I am the burden of me, i lift and carry myself. I am the Eye, i see you and I see through you.
Welcome to my new blog on various aspects of Art History, Iconography and Architecture, Archaeology, Civilizations, Prehistoric Cave Paintings and Rock Art, Mythology and Magic and lot of travellings...unravellings....of an amateur mind eager to learn. I will not claim authority over all these aspects as an archaeologist or art historian, yet, i will only claim an insatiable desire and curiosity for probing the meaning of life and existence surrounding all of these. As i travel, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends, i keep asking myself various questions and i try to find their answer in what i see and then try to read on it. All these journeys, both of my body and mind are my personal quests, undertaken to determine who i am, amidst all those who have come, lived, thought, created and left. Why, am i the inheritor of their legacies in thought, philosophy and material structures? What will i leave behind, when i go? I have within me, an entire baggage load of the whole thought chronology, the blue-prints of all that man tried, failed, and achieved since the rugged dawns of pre-history. The least, i can do, is to find my own place, my own role and my essence amidst all that has been left behind and amonsgt all those who are yet to arrive.
