Doodles from Rajasthan

Doodles from Rajasthan 


Rajasthan, the land of Kings has always intrigued me. Its vibrant colours, pulsating people, exquisite handicraft, folklore and the never ending sand dunes. Even though I have traveled a lot into the vivid land, it still calls me for more. It's haunting beauty never fails to attract me.The contrasting hues always made me more interested in it's heritage. The simple, elegant beauty of the palaces and the confined lives of many in them. The panoramic sand dunes and the harsh living conditions. The barrenness and richly carved structures stand as a witness to the bygone era.

Through my travel into the hearts of Jaisalmer and Bikaner I came across many unknown yet interesting faces. Some were obliging enough to strike a pose in front of my camera. Other simply shrugged and went away. It's the ones who went away indifferently etched something in mind. While travelling back home I made it a point to squiggle  something on a rough sheet of paper. While going through my scrapbook today, I stumbled upon some of these doodles of people and buildings. More coming up soon !  :)

Art Attack!

Recycled wine bottle Multicolored  thread and wool used to cover an old wine bottle with glue. It can be used as planter or simply for decoration. Using ropes gives a awesome rustic look. Great creative with different colour threads. :)                                                                     Pen stand- recycled newspapers Old newspaper rolled into circles and then put together to make a vase. They are rolled to look like small snails. The base is made in the same way, paper rolled into a circle (depending on how big you want your vase to be). You need immense patience to just keep making these rolls and can get frustrating at times. :) Once done, colour them with acrylic colours for more durability and start attaching it to the base with an  ...

Entanglement

Image
Entanglement Was it a mistake? The most endearing one Was it your embrace? The most impressionable Was it hurt? It did lacerate Was it friendship? But it’s always vague Was it a moment? Ethereal and abysmal   Was it your caress? Perhaps a transitory relapse Was it love? I did feel so… Was it love? But it’s always vague.

Fitness Shitness Hai Rabba !!

Image
Never in my life have I been a fitness freak or someone who even does exercise inside the house. Hitting the gym was always on the ' to do' list that kept changing every year, keeping only the laziness constant. Infact the only fitness related activity I have ever done in my life would include taking my school children for sports classes and maybe doing a bit of stretching there. Even as a student I remember bunking all my sports classes and march past practices. I had invented  a 'rare' disease which I used in my swimming classes and even got a doctor to write a prescription!  I would get an allergy when I would come in contact with water and sunlight. I hope the advancement in science probably would have found a cure for this deadly disease by now.  It wasn't till a recent party where my obvious paunch was a little too obvious and encouraged a particularly drunk lady to point it out. " Well, such things happen at your age, she said." such thin...
