Motherhood: The Birth Of A New Identity

An artist's perception by Prabuddha Ghosh


It's known that motherhood has a deep impact on all layers of a human. The oldest phenomenon in the race of humanism includes all impressions of psychological, philosophical, physical, behavioral, emotional and in professional canvas too.


Motherhood itself is not a new concept. In fact, it's timeless, universal, eternal and whether you get there by giving birth, adopting or via surrogacy, the description is the same. And yet this is the key of existence and secret of civilization. How we perceive mothers as mothers or the means of motherhood and the role of it; are really complicated and ever-changing.

Attachment is the prime issue and factor of motherhood, with the birth of the new baby she takes birth as a new mother, what she was not before that day, that time... that instance. The mother’s attachment state shapes the way she organizes her thoughts, feelings and memories of herself and others in relationship with her. These are internal working models and an intense reorganization of identity, leading to reflections on the way the woman herself was parented and all in a complete new way with some added new identity, more strong and flexible ... existence of togetherness...

Raghu Rai: The Unflinching Eye That Framed India’s Conscience by Prabuddha Ghosh

Raghu Rai: The Unflinching Eye That Framed India’s Conscience by Prabuddha Ghosh In the long and unsettled narrative of modern India, few visual chroniclers have worked with the moral clarity, emotional depth, and sustained intensity of Raghu Rai. To speak of him merely as a photographer is to understate the scope of his engagement. He is, more precisely, a witness to India’s becoming—its fractures, its continuities, its silences, and its eruptions. Across decades, his lens has moved with a rare steadiness through the country’s most defining moments, refusing spectacle while never relinquishing the power of the image. Born on 18 December 1942 in Jhang, in undivided Punjab—now in Pakistan—Rai belonged to a generation marked indelibly by the trauma of Partition. Geography, for him, was never inert. It was memory, rupture, and inheritance. Punjab was not simply a birthplace; it was a divided consciousness. That inheritance would quietly shape his sensibility. There is, in his work, an unm...

A New Vista in My Creative Journey: Entering Digital Art by Prabuddha Ghosh

A New Vista in My Creative Journey: Entering Digital Art in 2025 by Prabuddha Ghosh A fter more than thirty-five years of dedicated engagement with photography and nearly two decades of sustained practice in digital photography, I have now entered a new and significant phase of my creative journey: the field of Digital Art. This transition has emerged organically through reflection, experimentation and encouragement from individuals whose guidance and faith have been deeply meaningful to me. In particular, I wish to acknowledge the constant motivation and mentorship of my friend and senior artist, Shri Atul Padiaji of Vadodara, Gujarat, whose encouragement gave me the confidence to explore this medium with greater seriousness and depth. Equally important has been the role of my younger brother, Shri Jayanta Khan of Kolkata, who, through his persistent inspiration over more than a year, urged me to take this decisive step and begin a new chapter in my artistic life. I also believe t...
