This is a picture I have used to identify me at some place. I had chosen it carefully. It tells anyone who cares to know a good deal about me without my having to scream it.It is about my nationality, there are two languages; it is from a painting by Jamini Roy, an artist I admire. There are two women, to convey the duality of an individual as well as the bonding I feel with the feminist ideology. The feminist who wears jewellery. The eyes are large enough to drown you in, but there are clear defined lines – you are crossing them at your own peril!
It is a 25 paise stamp that has already been posted. This means that some things cost almost nothing but reach where they are meant to…
If all this is too complex, then it is also basically animalistic with primal colours and lines and curves. This means that most things are really quite simple – if you don’t fear looking into those eyes…

FV's id that she used somewhere else is pretty simple representation of her own personality...
hmmm..quite a lot of thought to invest in a "mere" postage stamp, no?
And I never could "define" myself with any such exactitude..
Circle:
One tries to simlify because one is complex!
Tan:
Perhaps we are all postage stamps with a certian value being despatched?
I would not say the definition is exact. It is like being stamped or branding oneself...an identifiable idea of oneself.
