Painting is an ancient art. Painting gives you a creative force in life. 
    My bond with drawing and painting is very old. May be before I learnt to 
speak, I had begun to draw. In early childhood, I used to draw 
pictures of automobiles, various kinds of vehicles etc. Then later on I started 
drawing variety of things. 
    In sept. 1991, when I was in standard VIII, I appeared for the elementary 
grade exam., and passed with C grade. Then in sept. 1994, when I was in 
standard XI, I took intermediate grade exam., and again passed in C grade, 
although this time I was expecting a B grade.
    I have great fascination for this art. In this art, your creativity and 
imagination are at their peak. None of the other arts are able to give you the 
peace of mind which you get in painting. However this art demands patience, 
which is an important quality. It also improves your observation, and changes 
your vision of looking at things.
