Nothing, I mean, absolutely nothing can beat this home-made wine cake by one of my best friends. Feels good when someone bakes especially for you :) Thanks Krithika!
And later that evening..
After the full-of-calorie muffin..THIS! :P
Acrylic on Canvas
My last painting had 3 flowers in it and so does this one. Now this was a pure coincidence (so far), but I guess I'll have them in my next as well. A new set in every painting. YeaahhH!
Cala lilies-Check
Tulips- Check
Frangipani- :)
Two Thousand Twelve
A wonderful start to the new year. An unplanned visit to Sula Vineyard and an evening filled with great great food, friends & the winter chill. Puuuurrrfect!
..overlooks the gorgeous vineyard spread over 1500 acres
...I'm still not over that piece of gorgeousness. Having given a presentation back in my B-School on the founder Rajeev Samant it was even more interesting to see what the man has made out of a barren land.
Assignment 01- Accomplished.
The portraits above are one of my first independent art assignments so far. Although I wouldn't stress on the fact that this was my first on a canvas! But nevertheless, I'm excited and up for more :)
Define:insensitivity
The web definition has its own way of making the
term look more professional without being
'sensitive' enough towards the person who's being
called that.
The other day I was called insensitive by someone
who tags people in only 2 forms - Virgins & non-
virgins!
I find myself shocked, more so because of the
quickness of the things that happened last night.
And it only makes me wonder if being an insensitive
woman is really such a bad thing.
I'm a peace loving person and strongly believe in
'What doesn't kill you, makes you strong'. I don't
have an opinion about too many things in life. I
don't judge. I don't let myself wander on
unpleasant incidences for too long. I can laugh it off. You can't make me cry for too long. I can't stand nonsense for too long, in other
words.
If that's insensitive, I'm up for it!
Now, seeing the brighter side of what happened
lately, I realise there are more brownie points in
store for me than I had expected.
Firstly, this was my first ever (major) arguement;
and i'm glad it was only through mails because the
insensitive girl breaks down when she tries to act
strong. It was quite an experience! :D
And secondly, it sort of feels good to know that
you no more have to waste your hard earned money
messaging and trying to make them feel better over
a 10-year-old-like-fight or spend hours consoling
someone WHO CALLS ME INSENSITIVE!
I could charge for the amount of advice gone behind
this whole drama for over a year! But that's alright. I don't mind helping the poor and the needy.
And as far as my 'sensitivity' goes; I guess one will have to wait for some more decades to see that happen. Yes I will continue to be practical. I will continue to read the
other side of the story and not go 'aww' when you give me your shit! I swear I will continue to hate soft toys.
And if I can take care of myself with all those
insensitive emotions, so can you.
Clicks, colours & me..
Water colours. Acrylic paints. Canvas. Rangoli. Diya painting. Pottery. Bombay. Diwali.
The new look
Okay so here I have my first blog-renovation. And pink was perhaps the last colour on my mind, only because I wanted to keep this space gender-indiscriminate. But what the heck! I like pink. I Love pink!
I often crib about not having enough time for my blog, for my art. But a full-time job can do wonders. Yes, you heard that right. Firstly, you end up looking busy at work, when only you know that you're changing your blog's font or editing some pictures on Coral Draw for your header image (My work partly involves using coral draw so no one bothers). And secondly, you get paid at the end of the month :)
Now coming back to the humble blog-land, I clearly remember when an old friend from school Ekta suggested that if I'm planning to put up pictures on my blog I need a less distracting background. I agreed. And I, on the other hand, also agree that the pink borders of the current layout screams for attention. But then, the whole point of blogging is to let the world know what's on your mind, share ideas, communicate take time off your work schedule and escape to the holy World Wide Web! This blog makes me want to come back to it everyday. Makes me want to make it look pretty. Not for the visitors, but for myself. And, well, if the visitor has a similar taste *cheers*
How much art can one fit in on one street?
Kala Ghoda Fest, Mumbai
This was a classic. The man above is only pretending to be asleep without even me asking him to do so. He offered, I obliged :)
PS- Do not miss the Aviators behind
The artist.
Chai break
Asiatic Library. Not in a very good shape now. Nevertheless, a lovely place to spend the evening.
Prem Joshua and the band, jamming.
There really is something about street fests. They are free, yes! But more importantly, they are open and interactive. Just the way art, in any form, should be.
..and it was a lovely sunset
A beautiful evening indeed
The Mighty Black Horse
Home Tour - I
Today is one of those days of the week when I'm all exhausted, back from work with hardly anytime to catch up with my fellow bloggers. Times like these I choose to escape to my virtual heaven hotspots around the World Wide Web (which, by default, is Munnar, India ).
Today, though, I happen to come across this absolutely gorgeous & breath-taking home from Barcelona. Yes.. Barcelona is not only about football now, is it?
*Drumroll*
Totally digging the bold pink..
..and the Vintage touch.
Refrigerator :)
