This is Gurukool, Pune. I am the concept director who is passionate about research that may be scientific/ human or artistic. Right now I am in the quest building a musical drama called ISM-In search of meaning. It has taken about 2-years of continuous thinking to conceive and structure this drama. Needless to say it is for the inspiration of aesthetics and a quest for getting a step closure to the ultimate truth; The God. I wish to get contributions from all as to what they think about meaning whether in words, texts, poetry, music- both sound and silence. If you would please share some thought provoking questions in your mind or episodes or selective texts or some creative connections I shall offer by gratefulness at the very beginning. I wish this exercise fetches me at least 1000-ideas. Then it is in public domain.
