Art of design

Crafted to perfection, with an obsession to detail,
Indulging the senses, yet uncompromisingly utilitarian,
Neither flamboyant nor frugal,
Appeasing the dreamer and cynic alike,
Satisfying a common need, yet exclusive in its appeal,
A wonderful balancing act and game of strategy,
Where the consumer is as engaged as the creator,

I am a patron of the arts,
Not painitings or sketches,
Not music or theatre,
But the art of product design

Wiping the layers of dust that mask the paper,

Freeing the pen entangled in the cobweb,

Letting fresh air dilute the musty smell,

I wait patiently.. 

for thoughts to fill the mind,

for the battle to ensue,

for the strongest to claim its rightful place,

In the pages of this journal.

When the hiatus is long,

It takes time 

to rekindle the fire, 

to restore faith, 

to rebuild reputation,

But I wait patiently..

For there is no progress without challenge,

And no victory without a crusade,
