    By Praveen Maloo   There has always been a debate whether Photography is an authentic form of Art? If yes, what exactly is it that makes a photograph a piece of Art? I believe it’s the subjectivity and the aesthetics that are to be found in a photograph, the manner...

    By Jaiwantika Dutta Dhupkar   Osmania University is a stone’s throw-away from my place, and Arts College, the hub of students’ political activity since Time Eternal, stands like an all-knowing monolith of student destinies.

    Take a look at these great posters. Using just hands and a phone, an American phone company advertised worldwide by painting hands in the colours of different countries. It’s just brilliant.

    By Atiya Amjad   I cannot forget the days when art was as abstract as God. And artists were demi-Gods who were walking, talking, creative people who dropped off from that abstract world. And oh! how much I would yearn to be part of that mystical existence. As time progressed,...
