DESCRIPTION: 

Kahlil Gibran’s aphorisms, stories and poetry on themes like love in all its myriad forms, and relationships in all its hues, remain among the best loved by readers. Gibran’s views, however, extend beyond the most-quoted ‘greeting card’ sayings, to encompass a wide realm of human emotions and relationships—passion, desire, idealized love, justice, friendship, and the challenges of dealing with strangers, neighbors, and enemies. This book captures love and life in all their complexities and nuances. This beautiful volume includes over 90 selections from Gibran’s writings, and is informative, illuminating and inspirational, and makes for an ideal gift for all occasions.

The word is derived from the Persian words kalam (pen) and kari (craftmanship), meaning drawing with a pen. The Machilipatnam Kalamkari craft made at Pedana near by Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh, evolved with patronage of the Mughals and the Golconda sultanate. There are two styles of kalamkari painting in India - one, the Srikalahasti style and the other, the Machilipatnam style. The Srikalahasti style of Kalamkari, wherein the "kalam" or pen is used for free hand drawing of the subject and filling in the colours, is purely hand-worked. This style flourished around temples and so had an almost religious tinge - scrolls, temple hangings, chariot banners and the like, depicted deities and scenes taken from the great Hindu epics – Ramayana and Mahabarata. Natural dyes are used in Kalamkari and it involves seventeen painstaking steps. The cotton fabric gets its glossiness by immersing it for an hour in a mixture of Myrobalans and cow milk. Contours and reasons are then drawn with a point in bamboo soaked in a mixture of jagri fermented and water; one by one these are applied, then the vegetable dyes.

Here a number of birds are being beautifully depicted in the Kalamkari painting and the birds are playing in a tree. The trees are also being painted beautifully. Kalamkari is the art of painting cotton fabrics with a kalam i.e. pen. In this genre of painting a sharp pointed pierced bamboo regulates the flow of colour on the fabric. The popularity of this exquisite form of art crossed the borders of the country during the 17th and 18th centuries. Kalahasti and Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh, the nerve centres of this art continue to be beehives of Kalamkari activity. Kalamkari colours are made from vegetable dyes. The cotton gets its beauty from its immersion in milk and resin. Kalamkari paintings are the result of seventeen painstaking steps, using only natural dyes, with numerous washes. The motifs are essentially related to temple architecture and scenes from great epics.
