Go Jack Go!!!

Go Jack Go!!!

Within a cast of perfectly created dishes, there was always someone who had placed his passion on a tray. Created something that his passion persuaded him to and not his better rationale self.

What is more important for an artist – to create what his passion beckons him to or that which  would rather get him much appreciation from critics? Its an oft seen battle that goes on in lot of our minds – the canvas demands an outpour of passion but the strokes betray every such emotion and create what a trained eye will like seeing. 

But Jack however is not yet ruined by this demon “the need to please”. And probably the fact that he is a 10 year old kid is has a lot to do with it. I am a big fan of this little big boy Jack that I saw on Junior MasterChef.  And it surely is easy to fall for him, he is a little gentle giant who stands tall with large innocent eyes & shaggy hair. He goes red every time his work is applauded and smiles straight from the heart.

Obviously every participant on this show is adorable, 9, 10, 11 year old kids who make devilish desserts, cook rabbit meat, make their own pasta…gosh..could put a lot of us to shame. Nearly each of these kids had perfected the art of culinary excellence to the T.

So what was so different about Jack – he is someone that I wish I had the courage to be EVERYTIME…

To try something new because I believe in it and not being scared of the outcome. Don’t sometimes all of us stop trying to do things differently because we have already mastered the art of doing things that are acceptable and maybe even appreciated?

Do we train our minds to create clones of acceptance and maybe in the course suffocating honest passion which keeps waiting for an opportunity to surface.

What I would give to be like that 10 year old…you Go Jack Go….keep that crazy passion alive to express your art in your own way.
