Life happens when...

I am not busy making other plans, but life happens when you are doing your usual things. And then you realise that from tomorrow life is not gonna be the same. People you like move, you move, there are changes in work situations, and so on and so forth. But another name of Life is 'Change'. You take it or you leave it. Was just talking to a friend who is moving to another part of the city. She was my evening walk buddy. We talked how it is difficult to form friendships at our age. But may be, it always was difficult to find someone who has the same vibes. School days are long gone, but may be even then you only liked handful of mates while you sat in a class of 30 kids. That's why friendship is precious.

Looking back....

Looking back, I don't always feel that I have learnt my lessons. I value that something precious had happened and I am grateful too, but learning from the past? I doubt if I can learn. I have a feeling that I mostly survive because the entire universe is watching out for me and holding my hand when I am trading slippery grounds.

I am not a master of water colors but I want to give it a try.

Silhouettes

Silhouettes were solid, dark and static until I visited Ahmedabad, Gujrath. Here I found something so delicate, light, lyrical and feminine. This silhouette waltzes all over the place in flowing circles. This beauty in stone is Siddi Sayyad Mosque. How ethereal this place must have been once when the city had not grown around it yet and there were no mechanical vehicles zooming by whole day!

Thanks for watching,

Eye Candy

This is the envelope I found in my most cluttered art room. These are silkscreen prints with a lot of color variations. How I like

putting colors together and how it changes the mood of the picture. They are 14 inches x 7 inches actual prints with enough margins. The last one does not do a justice with the blue color. It is much more vibrant. Also the grey is not grey, it is silver. Sometimes I do feel that I should design stationary. Thanks for looking.
