Sketching and Doodling

(October 9th, 2020)

Drew this way back in college... still amazed everytime I see it.

A very old drawing, drew it in one of my old practical records from school, notice the punch mark on Jesus’s neck. From that eighteen year old who drew him to this forty year old contemplating him today, I can tell you one thing for certain, He sure came to give life in abundance… and as I sit here typing this out John Denver’s song is playing, You fill up my senses and it seems pretty apt for how beautiful life is because of him. The below picture is a recent sketch, how cool is the action pose...

Another mandala...

Drew this long back, when I was in school or college.

A recent life drawing sketch

Another recent sketch

An old drawing, couldn’t draw the rest of her features so just drew a mask like thing… which seems pretty reflective of the times we live in today.

This is both a new and an old drawing, I started it long back in college… but couldn’t complete it. I could actually see in the unfinished sketch how I was struggling back then to draw the human form.

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

Amethyst in Chennai - A Review

After Sarangi , we stopped by Amethyst another boutique store at Whites Road (quite close to Express Avenue Mall), Royapettah. This is a cool posh place hidden from the bustling din of the main road, and the entry way itself seems to transport you to another time and place far away from the cacophony of a busy city life. Once you step into this land overflowing with (wild) shrubbery, you'll find a flower shop, a jewellery cum clothing store and a colonial styled coffee hangout place. The entrance... with shrubs on either side. A giant urn among the shrubbery. A little fountain in the garden... The jewellery and clothing boutique is located upstairs and even though the whole arrangement looks nice and inviting, I couldn't really find anything worth buying here. An art piece at the store... The clothes seemed drab and messily complicated, like some new age fashion for the artsy / socialite types. It's not something your normal next door perso...

My school teachers...

So I got to thinking bout my school days recently and it saddened me that I was starting to forget a few teachers who had shaped my life, I have already forgotten nearly half the classmates... though its not my fault. Some people just don't want to join facebook, then how can you find them in this big world. Even if I do find them, there is not much to talk beyond the 'where are you & what are you doing' phrases. But the teachers are another matter, they deserve to be remembered for moulding us. I gotta hand it to the convent school I studied in, they really knew how to select their educators... all the teachers I had shared a genuine passion for teaching and above that they had strong moral values and faith which invariably shaped our lives. To them being a good person was what mattered the most and they made sure we grasped this knowledge, it also helped that I had staunch catholic parents who cemented this view. Anyway, I just wanted to jot down stuff bout my teacher...
