Milan Kundera has been on my TBR list for a very long time. Finally today I have picked up my very first Kundera book 'The Unbearable lightness of being' as a part of #kunderabookclub hosted by lovely Rhea (@rufusreads ) And oh-my-my the very first line of the book got me "The idea of eternal return is a mysterious one, to think that everyone recurs as we once experienced it, and that the recurrence itself recurs ad infinitum!"❄ . . . . . . PS: What are you reading currently? . . . . #milankundera ...
Beginnings of "Self portrait as Frida". My high school art teacher, the beautiful Linda Hutton, had an enormous impact on shaping the way I see and make art. Sometime during our senior years she introduced us to the life and work of Frida Kahlo. Examing her paintings was like opening the pages of a stranger's exquisite personal diary. Decades later I'm acquainting my students to Kahlo's dark and whimsical world. It is always a pleasure. #fridakahlo #portraitasanartist

I visited the book fair after ages this time and here's (pardon me) my loot. Keeping my purse strings tight because I'm running out of shelf space at home and at least for now I don't like to part with my books by donating, though I realize I might have to do that eventually. Tell me about your recent buys and what do you do when you find yourself in a too many books situation. #bookhaul #bookfair

‘Before we are forgotten, we will be turned into kitsch. Kitsch is the stopover between being and oblivion.’ ___________________________________ I have #finishedreading TULOB by Kundera. It made for a singular, magical, dark and extremely thoughtful read. Thank you to Rhea (@rufusreads) for organising the #kunderabookclub. ___________________________________

Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost - Milan Kundera #theunbearablelightnessofbeing
The idea of eternal return is a mysterious one, and Nietzsche has often perplexed other philosophers with it: to think that everything recurs as we once experienced it, and that the recurrence itself recurs ad infinitum! What does this mad myth signify? 👺 #kitsch #lightness 期盼嫁人的年轻女子期盼的是她完全不了解的东西。追逐荣誉的年轻人根本不识荣誉为何物。赐予我们的行为以意义的，我们往往对其全然不知。她也不清楚隐藏在自己叛逆的欲望背后的究竟是什么目的。不能承受的生命之轻，目的就是这个吗？

This is like my millionth post of this book because it's taking me so long to get through it... I'm slowly getting there, I've just had a lot of uni work and responsibilities thrust kindly upon me over the past few weeks and it's getting in the way of my reading time 😢 I thought I'd take a break tonight to enjoy a little more book and a little less empirical research article 💤 . #book #bookworm

CANNE AL VENTO (GRAZIA DELEDDA) “Ed ecco poco a poco tutti vengono attorno, penetrano per le fessure come i raggi della luna: è donna Maria Cristina, bella e calma come una santa, è don Zame, rosso e violento come il diavolo: sono le quattro figlie che nel viso pallido hanno la serenità della madre e in fondo agli occhi la fiamma del padre: sono i servi, le serve, i parenti, gli amici, tutta la gente che invade la casa ricca dei discendenti dei baroni della contrada. Ma passa il vento della disgrazia e la gente si disperde, come le nuvolette ...

Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves up to him demand-free and asking for nothing but his company. . . #2017 #sf
Beautifully relatable excerpt about a dog’s morning from The Unbearable Lightness of Being: . 💜 “At six the alarm went off. Karenin’s moment had arrived. He always woke up much earlier than they did, but did not dare to disturb them. He would wait impatiently for the alarm, because it gave him the right to jump on their bed, trample their bodies, and butt them with his muzzle. For a time they had tried to curb him and pushed him off the bed, but he was more headstrong than they were and ended by defending his rights. Lately, Tereza realised, ...
“When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object.” Milan Kundera The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Book Review 🍁 I really liked the first half of the book or to be precise until part 5, after that it became too much to take in all the metaphors that it contains. It is not that I disliked those, but it felt heavy. I guess this book is meant to be heavy, with profound meanings here and there. I didn't dislike the book rather I have too many inferences which I look upon from time to time even after reading those lines. What I liked the most is that I got to see both sides of ...
Enjoying myself❤ I really liked my #valentines gift💙 . . . . . #nailsdone
I might have found a studio space 🤞going to check it out this Wednesday!!! Excited to hopefully be able to start making more products. In other news, I just received back some stock that didn’t sell over the holidays and have posted them on @bunz_official. Go spend your BTZ!! #bunz #btz

🌊🏊🌊River fragments // becoming versus being (panta rhei*) . Everything flows /no one steps into the same river twice and yet, or only, the river remains a constant**. Panta rhei as a reference to the idea of becoming can be contrasted with the idea of being. I observe an innate need of people around me of becoming human and being human - in this one and only body all the while. Similarly, art oscillates between being and becoming. If all is fleeting, peripheral vision becomes important, and, no matter how on point, the focussed area seems unlikely to equal the ...

Tomorrow I turn 30. Today’s blog post is not a book review but a reflection on my life (link in bio). Feel free to share some of your reflections when you came up on a milestone birthday! There’s so much we can learn from each other. This book has gotten me through some tough times in my life. I most recently read it before my wedding and I still cherished the experience. #theunbearablelightnessofbeing #milankundera
ما اغلب برای از یاد بردن درد و رنج خویش به آینده پناه میبریم. در پهنه ی زمان خطی تصور میکنیم که فراسوی آن خط درد ما پایان خواهد یافت. اما ترزا این خط را پیش روی خود نمیدید و تنها میتوانست با اندیشه ی گذشته خود را دلداری دهد. یک بار دیگر یکشنبه بود و آن ها سوار اتومبیل شدند تا از پراگ دور شوند #milankundera #theunbearablelightnessofbeing
You had me at the first line, Kundera! “The idea of eternal return is a mysterious one, and Nietzsche has often perplexed other philosophers with it : to think that everything recurs as we once experienced it, and that the recurrence itself recurs as infinitum!What does this mad myth signify?” . I cannot adequately put into words the power in which this book has moved me, yet again. It’s a novel that begs not to be attached to any grand narrative,so I’ll refrain from saying it’s a love story. Because it’s also a political one, a really interesting and moving ...

He suddenly recalled from Plato's Symposium: People were hermaphrodites until God split them in two, and now all the halves wander the world over seeking one another.

"For there is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes." Half way through this masterpiece and I can safely say that I have fallen in love with the writing and this book will stay with me for a long time. Picked it up as the BOTM for the #kunderabookclub hosted by @rufusreads 💙 Milan Kundera is my 2019 discovery! Have you read this book? How was it for you?

ميلان كوندرا در كتاب بار هستى ميگه: در حقيقت زيستن _ يعنى به خود و ديگران دروغ نگفتن _ تنها در صورتى امكان پذير است كه انسان با مردم زندگى نكند. به محض اينكه بدانيم كسى شاهد كارهاى ماست، خواه ناخواه خودرا با آن چشمان نظاره گر، تطبيق ميدهيم، و ديگر هيچيك از كارهايمان صادقانه نيست. با ديگران تماس داشتن و به ديگران انديشيدن، در دروغ زيستن است! 🤷🏻♀️اين زمانى نوشته شده كه چيزي به اسم دنياى مجازى وجود نداشت. دارم فكر ميكنم كه همه ى ما تو چه دروغ بزرگى زندگى ميكنيم! #milankundera #theunbearablelightnessofbeing ...
“But is heaviness truly deplorable and lightness splendid? The heaviest of burdens crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. But in the love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man’s body. The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously the image of life’s most intense fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. Conversely, the absolute absence of a burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into heights, take leave of the earth and ...
. 인간의 삶이란 오직 한 번뿐이며, 모든 상황에서 우리는 딱 한 번만 결정을 내릴 수 있기 때문에 과연 어떤 것이 좋은 결정이고 어떤 것이 나쁜 결정인지 결코 확인할 수 없을 것이다. 여러 가지 결정을 비교할 수 있도록 두 번째, 세 번째, 혹은 네 번째 인생이 우리에게 주어지진 않는다. . _ 밀란 쿤데라 《참을 수 없는 존재의 가벼움》 .
BEING LIGHT "Her drama was a drama not of heaviness but of lightness. What fell to her lot was not the burden, but the unbearable lightness of being." - Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 1984 Self-portrait, Erica in Vrschikasana II wearing catsuit by @mettacollection (link in bio) #lightness #stability
