Guide To Being Artsy

Learn a few exotic words.

Intruiguing, magical, cerebral, intricate, layered, surreal, avant-garde.

Then a few more.

Consult yours truly for a vocabulary course.

Throw them around in conversation.

Especially avant-garde.

Not too often, but every now and then.

Learn the correct pronunciation.

Pause at the end of every thought,

and reference it to a popular philosophy.

Wiki Marxism, Neo-capitalism and Egalitarianism,

for starters.

Go watch theatre wearing organic cotton.

Incessantly critique Bollywood.

And do not watch Hollywood blockbusters.

It can get suffocating, yes.

But keep at it.

You might want to embellish your appearence too.

Kurtas, spectacles, kohl-eyes.

They still fly.

Be careful, not to go the hippy route, though.

Quote poets.

Smoke [up] if you can.

Overdo but do not downplay. 

Worry not.

The world survives on stereotypes.

And first impressions.

You know it.

So play it.

It will take a while.

You don't have the edge yet.

You dress like no one.

And everyone.

You speak the common tongue.

Lost in the crowd, always.

We are an unattractive people.

Our lot.

So, stand out.

Be Artsy.

Creating art is a lot easier.
