Axis: Bold as Love

'Gadgets & Gizmos' is a store with a selection of gift items, gadgets, games, gizmos, electronic gifts et al. Some items in that store are very funny. Even the sales girl in the store laughs funny. I visit that store just to look around atleast once when I am in the mall.

I was disturbingly surprised to see a very different tin tote. That box had a depiction of all forms of Vishnu with a super imposed image of three African men.I couldn't help but wonder, why would someone use an image like that and that too for an ugly tote box? So as always, all it takes is a little Google.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience was a British / American band. This image on the tin tote was the artwork of the album Axis: Bold as Love. The objective was to show the American "Indian" heritage of Jimi Hendrix. Instead, it turned out to be a the super imposed image of the band members on 'Viraat Purushan-Vishnuroopam' (the religious poster with all forms of Vishnu).

Well, I learned a lesson, to find the truth behind things that might appear meaningless, but have some character to it.

With that thought, "Wait until tomorrow"!!
