She lets her brush do the talking Hemasri Bhavya wins first prize in the junior category at All India Stamp Design contest
( Artist Hemasri Bhavya displaying her award-winning painting in Visakhapatnam on Monday )
Any idea how the Postal Department will be in 2050?
A young artist let her imaginations run wild with her brush and secured
the first prize in the ‘junior’ category at the All India Stamp Design
Contest conducted in November last year.
U. Hemasri Bhavya, Std. IX of St. Ann’s School, NAD Kotha Road junction,
was the only one whose painting was selected, from the three north
coastal districts.
Creative
She painted a pigeon and the sun on one side and an owl and mars on the other.
“The postal delivery system in the world would be completing 286 years
by that time. The pigeon and the sun depict delivery of mails during day
and the owl is a representation of delivery of mails by night. By 2050,
the postal department would be able to deliver letters to mars,” says
Bhavya.
Dexterity
The painting reflects not only her dexterity with the brush but also her imaginative abilities.
The tagline at the bottom of the painting reads in Hindi “Galli se
galaxy tak, kahi bhi, kabhi bhi” (from the street to the galaxy,
anywhere, anytime). It sums up how the Postal Department would be in
2050.
‘Expressive’
Bhavya had also won the second prize at the All-India level in The Hindu
Young World Competition in 2011. “Her painting of a rainy day scene was
chosen for its depth and the expressions on the faces of the children,”
recalls her father Bangarraju, a pre-production head at Frameboxx
Animation and Visual Effects. She already has around 80 prizes in her
kitty in painting competitions conducted by various organisations.
“Bhavya started dabbling with the brush when she was hardly 11 months
old and began participating in painting competitions from Std. II
onwards,” recalls Mr. Bangarraju, who is a painter himself. She painted a
large portrait of the noted playback singer S.P. Balasubrahmanyam and
won his appreciation, when she presented it to him during his visit to
the city. Bhavya aims to do a design course at the National Institute of
Design. She talks very little and let’s her brush do the talking for
her.

Working more than 8 Hrs a Day ups Heart risk
Working more than eight hours a day raises the risk of heart disease by up to 80 per cent, a new study has revealed.
Researchers said that long working hours could be condemning thousands of employees to heart attacks and strokes.
The warning follows analysis of 12 studies dating back as far as 1958, involving a total of 22,000 people from around the world.
The analysis, by scientists at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, found that those whose working days that were longer than the traditional eight hours had a 40 to 80 per cent greater chance of heart disease.
The size of the increase varied depending on how each study was carried out.
The effects were more pronounced when participants were asked how long they worked for - but when researchers closely monitored working hours, the increased risk of heart disease was closer to 40 per cent.
Lead researcher Dr Marianna Virtanen said the effects could be due to "prolonged exposure to stress."
Other triggers could be poor eating habits and lack of exercise due to restricted leisure time.
Middle-aged workers putting in 55 hours or more a week had poorer brain function than those clocking up no more than 40 hours, with lower scores on tests to measure intelligence, short-term memory and word recall.
Britons work some of the longest hours in Europe, with full-time employees averaging 42.7 a week.
Those in Germany typically work for 42 hours, while Danes do 39.1.
It estimated that more than five million people a year in Britain work unpaid extra hours to hang on to their jobs.
But the long-term toll on workers' health could be devastating, the new research suggests.
"There are several potential mechanisms that may underlie the association between long working hours and heart disease," the Daily Mail quoted Dr Virtanen as saying in a report on the findings.
In addition to prolonged exposure to psychological stress, she said other triggers could be raised levels of the stress hormone cortisol, poor eating habits and lack of physical activity due to restricted leisure time.
