Louis Carrogis Carmontelle: An Artist, an Artificer

The chronicle of Louis Carrogis Carmontelle goes back to the early 18th century - an age marked by revolutions and inventions. Amidst all the tussle of revolutions that smothered the entire era, the spurt of art during the age is something that would always need an insight. Louis, the erstwhile artist of this period, was a Frenchman known for his versatile talents and achievements.

Unlike most artists who took a speciality, Louis was an artist, a French Dramatist, a renowned painter, set designer and author. There were few areas Louis didn't assay into. Known for his landscape paintings, he also invented "transparent". His ability to introduce animation into his painting through this method, which he named "décors transparents animés", made him an artistic genius.

While his animation invention indeed distinguished him as an artificer, he even made endless contributions to art and drama. As a landscape artist, Louis's deftness to include almost all types of elements (of that period) starting from antiquity, exoticism, to tombs, and rustic landscapes, was utterly stunning. Not to forget, his versatility impelled him in the field of theatre as well. Other than writing plays himself, he was constructive in inventing a new genre of play: The 'Proverbe Dramatique', a light comical scene to improve theatrical experience.

His contribution was matchless, his ideas unique and his skills dead stunning - a genius worthy of praise for ages.

If you are an avid reader, a profound thinker, or a regular follower of current affairs, the word Cow may trigger thoughts ranging from political agendas, corruption to religious fanatism and spirituality. However, what is necessary to have is a perspective when you look at a Cow or any object per se. A perspective is a set of uncanny impressions inspired by the subject; spurred by conditioned beliefs, a situation, a defense mechanism, or a sudden flurry of thoughts mostly misconstrued as unreasonable. The perspectives here are personal viewpoints not influenced by any religion but interprets the teac

The Fortune Curry - (Team effort - Check the conclusion written by me)

It was a squally afternoon in the middle of April. The nature was breathing a sigh of relief after a prolonged spell of heat wave. So was Arjun, a mid-level technical writer, who had joined the Kolkata office of one of the leading MNCs in the IT sector only about a year back. He had just received a really encouraging note of appreciation from the client on the successful completion of his project. Eventually, it was his first project for the company. After having a cup of coffee at the cafeteria, Arjun entered his bay in a very relaxed mood which he really deserved after working so hard for the successful completion of his project. He could see that his supervisor, Nikhil, was having a discussion with one of his colleagues, Sonali, in the conference room. Arjun did not pay much heed to it and slowly moved back to his desk with an intention to complete whatever little bit he was left with for the day, as early as possible.
