In this beautiful Gond painting, water colours are used on paper and the painting is also being signed by the artist. By using variegated colours, the artist has depicted flying birds in a most simple manner. He reveals nice colour pattern. Simple treatment of colour and lines makes the painting a treasure-trove. One of the largest tribes in North India, the Gonds, numbering about four million, reside predominantly in Madhya Pradesh. Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Odisha also have sizable Gond population. Close to nature, the term Gond is derived from the Dravidian expression kond, meaning “the green mountain.” Artists by nature, Gonds love to decorate the walls of their houses, an activity that may originate in cave-dwelling traditions of their ancestors. The Gonds paint their walls with vibrant depictions of local flora, fauna and gods such as Marahi Devi and Phulvari Devi (Goddess Kali). Traditionally made on festive occasions such as Karwa Chauth, Diwali, Ashtami and Nag Panchmi, Gond painting depicts various celebrations, rituals and man’s relationship with nature. The painting depicts a sense of optimism, a bright future armed with freedom and peace.

Description

Throughout his career, S.K. Misra has flown in high winds, sometimes with them and sometimes against. As principal secretary to three chief ministers of Haryana, including the formidable Bansi Lal and Chaudhary Devi Lal; principal secretary to Prime Minister Chandra Shekhar; and secretary in the Ministries of Tourism, Civil Aviation and Agriculture, he worked closely with strong political leaders. He also developed close friendships with some of the most iconic cultural figures of the time. Among many other achievements, he directed the Festivals of India, set up the National Institute of Fashion Technology, served as chairman of INTACH and played a crucial role in creating the International National Trusts Organization (INTO). He continues to innovate with ITRHD, a new trust for rural heritage and development. In all of this, he has always maintained one thing—his integrity.

Flying in High Winds chronicles a life well lived, revealing unknown facets of the prominent personalities with whom he interacted, such as Jawaharlal Nehru, M.F. Husain, Prince Charles, Sanjay Gandhi and Ebrahim Alkazi, and behind-the-scenes history of major events in which he played a key role. Candid, enlightening and with doses of tongue-in-cheek humour, this book showcases Indian bureaucracy in a new light.
