Paintbrush: A Silent Tech Tool
A while ago, I found myself strolling through the enchanting streets of Prague, on a quest for authentic Czech souvenirs. My curiosity led me to a quaint store adorned with the name Koh-i-Noor, renowned for its art supplies. Intrigued, I stepped inside and was immediately captivated by the kaleidoscope of colors and the array of brushes that filled the shelves. For nearly two hours, I immersed myself in exploring their vibrant offerings. The name Koh-i-Noor struck a chord with me, not just for its association with fine art supplies, but because, as an Indian, it resonates with the legacy of one of the world's largest cut diamonds. The Koh-i-Noor diamond, now part of the British Crown Jewels, was taken from a young Sikh king, Duleep Singh, under contentious circumstances. This historical artifact, sitting atop the [Queen Mother's] Crown, symbolizes both splendor and a painful colonial past. But that's a story for another day.
