Dreaming

Watching Sunset

..sigh.... :)

Low Contrast

I'm drawing on Illustrator now! :)

Inspired by some cute greeting card type images, I thought of trying to make some low contrast drawings, unlike my usual high contrast style like the poppies..

Don't think it's really my "thing" though... :-|

Muse

Quick sketches outside the IT.. The advantage or disadvantage of not having a camera? :)

Stage Fright

Bombay Images

One of the first memorable images during this trip - Dahi Handi on Janmashtami. People were wearing T-shirts sponsored by some Political parties I guess.. The auto passed by just at the right moment, just when the topmost guy was about to break the pot.

Something striking about Bombay... Since I've never lived near the coast, selling fish by the roadside seemed quite unusual. But what caught my eye the most was the shiny nose pin on this pretty lady.

(p.s.: had to photoshop a bit to make a little sense out of my crayon sketches :P)

Marine Drive : My favourite place in Bombay

I just HAVE to have a picture of me whenever I go to a place I like :)

Raining at Powai Lake. Bombay is greener than I expected. Or maybe it's just the monsoon...

Trying to learn light and shadow

Can't

Yet another opportunity

I've pushed away from

One of the countless times

I’ve lost without starting

I just stand there and stare

At them

Singing… playing…

Effortlessly

Self contained and so secure

While I’ve suddenly become mute

And I try to find a reason

To get away from the music,

From the tears welling up in my eyes

I’m not original

But neither are they

Then why does my voice

Just die away?

I’m suddenly so small

Can’t bear the thought of music

So scared…

to hear my voice…

…breaking

Music is good for the soul, isn’t it?

Then why does it do this to me?

Bringing out the worst…

…fear and misery

Should I just take a vow of silence?

And quit trying to try

Quit thinking

That maybe this time

Will be different

And save myself from

The embarrassing ordeal

Just quit..

You gave me everything

Why couldn't you give me

just a little bit of courage

to hear my own voice

sing

?
