“Art is a creative process, and a relief buster,” say shyamli singhbal (17) a resident of Caranzalem, Panjim. A young girl  who feels that there is no pressure or any kind of burden put to bring out her creativity through paintings .Drawing and painting is all what she thinks about every minute of life and enjoys doing it.

She has won many state level as well as international award.  In the 9^th std Shyamli begged the “SAARC” an international award for drawing competition.  Many of her art works were exhibited at kala academy “it was privileges to see that 10 of my painting got sold and one of my paintings was bought by PratapSingh Rane” say shyamli. Her works was lately showcased at the “pyder pyre” an art exhibition organized by Wilson D’souza. She is currently pursuing her 12^th arts at the Dhempe higher secondary Miramar, Panjim

As a child shyamli set aside in a corner trying to imitate Late Mario Miranda’s (cartoonists) artwork. “Art is my passion and I can rely on it for my bread and butter and as my role Mario Miranda has advice me to make it my profession”. Shyamli got an oppournity to show her painting to late Mario Miranda “he was amazed to see my artwork and encouraged me to make it my profession” this was the words that encouraged me to join art classes and to get more perfect in my work.

Sir Wilson mounded her into a multi-talented artist with painting and drawing as her forte .shyamli got a platform to exhibit her talent through sir Wilson classes. “He taught me the technique and different ways that I could use to make my painting unique and eye- pleasing”. Says shyamli singhbal.  

 When asked to shyamli how her parents support her she said “now days parent want their children to be doctors, engineers, etc and feel that there is no scope in arts but Inspite of this old dilemma of thinking both my parents being dentists encouraged me very much to go forward and provided me with all I wanted to fulfill my dreams, and just like this other parents should motivated their children to bring out their artistic talent”

“I believe in creativity and whatever I do must be eye pleasing and beautiful” this is shyamli motto which she applies when she does her painting and focuses more on presentation. Her talent flows through her blood this you can say by looking at her beautiful artworks that she has made. Now this young girl is taking her dreams forward and is planning to answer fine arts entrance exam at India no 1 college of painting at Baroda

 

 

 

 

What inspired me to choose journalism as my career?

“Journalism” was something I never knew about before. My dad introduced me to this field as a child I sat every day with him watching the news following a decision on issue that sprang up in news.

I never took so much interest in the news but, when it came to some crime stories, corruption that was the type of news draws my attention towards news. It seemed like a lot bad things were happening around in society but there was nobody to take a stand.

As a typical goan girl I saw my village facing many problems like water problems, electricity, lack of security measure etc. nobody was there to help them out. These issues made me more drawn to choose a career where I first took a lead and highlighted an issue on the newspaper. It was something exciting for me to question the authority and after hard work get your thing done along with support and love of your community people.

 

I used to love writing a lot. Writing is my passion. And journalism was such a career that seemed full filling   my passion .I believed that “Words are powerful. When properly used, uttered or written words can bring about unity, but used wrongly it can also cause chaos and division and incite rebellion.”

 And then I decided to move forward and take up journalism as my career. I m just doing my first year in journalism and started liking it even more because “it’s a is an unique field, which gives me knowledge, experience and responsibility to share everything I observed through the lens of journalist, one of my goals is would be to make my community a better place.”

Today our country is in need of youth who could take stand to fight against the evil things happening , as so our country needs better journalist so think twice what you choose what will be its outcome. And it would be probably nice to see our country having famous person ale who worked hard to make the country free from all evil and wrong things going
