Life of an artist

2 minutes to happiness vs 8 hours of pain
2/10/2014:
This pretty much sums up my relief after removing(read:pulling on my skin) the makeup and running away from the spot.

Next day:
Again I come back without learning my lesson because I am an artist/idiot.

Standing there for 7 hours without moving even when a rope is grinding in my already empty stomach and people are looking at me as if I am a scientific discovery to explore is something which an artist can feel.

An artist only wants appreciation. This proved true in my case.
The moment a visitor enters the room, looks at the work, appreciates. I climb the Himalayas.& then, they keep standing there, looking around at leisure,
I fall down & get ready to throttle them with the rope around my stomach.(Oh! from the inside)
From the outside, I am a perfect, mute STATUE 🙂MR. AMITABH BACHHANI read that he sat still for 4 hours to put the makeup on.4 hours to remove the makeup. (Movie:PA)and not to forget delivering your perfect act in between with the heavy makeup.All for a few million wondering, appreciating, adoring eyes.
On a local platform, I can relate to the pain he suffered.1 hour of makeup-putting on second skin which will not come out without a fight-Sacrificing my hair to the battle-
Putting on a bottle inside the shirt with a tight grinding rope to hold it in place-I am sure I will never get wrinkles now.

Inspite of all this frustration, 
I am happy when appreciation comes.&I am the happiest when I run away after removing it all.
