The Color of Mendhi


After mendhi dries and peels off, the hands are stained with the designs and begin to fade after several days. It takes about two weeks for the color to completely fade away.

Some quotes to get the mind thinking!

A. A. Milne:
One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.

Abraham Maslow:
The key question isn’t "What fosters creativity?" But it is why in God’s name isn’t everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might be not why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate? We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.

Albert Einstein:
You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.

Albert Einstein:
Technological change is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.

Albert Einstein:
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Arthur Koestler:
Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.

Beatrix Potter:
Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.

Buckminster Fuller:
When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

Buckminster Fuller:
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.

Carl Sagan:
It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science.

Carl Sagan:
If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.

Edward de Bono:
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

Edwin Land:
Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity.

Erich Fromm:
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
