i agree, exceptions (though very rare) are there to everything which applies in case of Art also!

Yeah.. art may require a different long term challenging marketing strategy to accommodate different tastes at a given time and also to keep pace with tastes changing with time. this is more evident in case of music with general (i mean majority) taste varying from classical (shastriya) music more than 50 years ago to western style music now-a-days!

That’s what i already said earlier that marketing efforts in Art too, especially at the initial stages, could help in its promotion!

I think good Marketing efforts can be crucial to sell/promote a product/piece of art in the initial stages of its creation. However, as the time passes, I think any product – good or bad – will speak for itself louder than any marketing campaign. However, that does not mean that marketing efforts would not produce any result or are not required at a later stage – it is only that the marketing strategies and efforts would vary at various stages.

From the discussion Turning words into action.

Hi Tiffany, I agree with you that such situations – the mind-body conflict in life – are common and can be a potential cause of stress and embarrassment in life – the infinite possibilities that the mind can dream/conceive and believe itself to be capable of turning into realities but only to find itself severely and repetitively restrained by its own or physical limitations. However, that does not in any way demean the beauty or possibilities of realisation of those dreams. I strongly believe that every thing that can be conceived rationally by human mind can be achieved. However, in life, nothing great has ever been achieved without great struggles, several mistakes/failures, pains and tears preceding such great achievements. The qualities of all great achievers have been – faith and passion coupled with perseverance, patience, and untiring efforts towards their dream.
To minimise the stress and pain in achieving your goal (whatever it might be), I suggest that keep an eye on your goal and put your best efforts to achieve it. However, instead of bothering too much about the outcome of your actions/efforts, start/learn enjoying the process/journey itself towards the goal. That way, even though, the journey will take its own time to reach that goal, you would be so engrossed in enjoying this journey (read ‘your work/efforts’) that you will not feel too stressed out or bored!:)

From the trivia question Hi everybody, This is the first time I noticed your real place. Do any of you know a person or association in or around this locality, with whom or where a man can discuss his personal loan problems? Which part of the above passage, logically indicates that the author is talking about his own personal loan problems?

i agree. my choice matches yours.

From the trivia question Please ensure provisions for the remedies of the following problems in the Staff Welfare Association, as well… * how can a responsible man make his (on the blink, boisterous, hysterical, dicey, irrevocable, star-crossed)...hoooohh….CAR, take away his family with kids on a long drive in an ‘out of harm's way'? * and many more to come, address this one first please. Which part of the above passage, logically indicates that the author is talking about his own CAR?

I think the ‘appropriateness’ or otherwise of using certain groups of words (idioms or cliches) in a given situation largely depends on the context and prevalent practice of word usage. The psychology of the human mind is such that it tends to get bored after a certain time by repeated encounters of similar things (including language usage) and wants to experience something new and refreshing. I think it is this constant quest for new and refreshing experiences that gives rise to creativity in all spheres – including writing/communicating. Such creativity can be found at individual level in great writers and artists from various streams/fields, however, for it (creativity) to reflect at the mass level requires a collective/wide scale effort – which happens relatively slowly and steadily.

Any take on these widely used words/phrases – Great!, Awesome!, Wow!, I agree! You are right!, Thanks, Thanks a ton/in advance/a bunch!.., :), :D, Please correct me, what u have to say?, I think, I believe, hahaha, hehehe … and so on – Makes one wonder if these r in the category of cliches! If yes, I think, avoiding them altogether in the context of present communication would require a good deal of collective creative effort! :)
