9-loves

I can say hundreds of loves in my life, but as the count restricts me to nine, I've done a little bit of sorting...

1. Home:I dont feel that good when I'm in my home. I prefer to be in my maternal home with bro, mom, dad, grandma, (grandpa expired before I was born) uncle, aunt, cousins.....
   This was the condition before some 4 years. But I still cherish those memories.....


2. Food: I was almost done with the editing for this part. But the 6th day of 10 day challenge says about food, so thought of posting it on that day :).


3. Movies: Yes I like movies, and prefer any thing that makes me laugh.(Why to spend money to cry?).


4. My art: It will be a repetation if I say something about it here. But even then I can't stop it, I love to hold a pencil and scibble something on a white sheet. I just love to do it :)
   Pencil : its one of the most familiar 'thing' in this world, for me as I'm handling it from my Kindergarden- oops its almost more than 20 years now!!!
   pls dont think too much, I'll share a list of familiar things in a post later.


5. Books: Nothing can replace a good read. I love to read books which can be easily understood and enjoyed... and again I dont like to waste time on reading some tragic stories hah....


6. Friends: I find myself in a stable energy level/state. And want to keep company of people with excited energy level.


7. Travel/Riding: Love to travel, not the artificial theme parks or concrete jungles... just to mingle with nature.


8. Music: Oh most of my loves are there as a days post in the 10day challenge, anyway I love to listen to soothing music.


9. I love to go for fishing not to get a big catch, but just for the fun of it...

And that was a bit about my loves....

here comes the 10 day challenge

Yes its true :) I didn't post anything yesterday as I've boasted. But I can explain, for the first day challenge, the topic was '10-secrets about you' as Preeti has mentioned. And I don't have any 'secrets that can be shared' and its better to take those with me to my grave. After all if we share the secrets, they are no more secrets.
Confused!!! To make it simple no secrets as of now that's it :)...

Take that First step

following the old post... I think I'm moving to bit philosophy, I started this blog actually to publish my works in graphite. But as I'm not finishing enough works to upload, I'm planning to utilize this space to improve my writing skills :). (Most of the works are unfinished because, either I loose the reference picture which I usually get from newspapers/magazines or I loose interest in working on them, don't ask why. May be, sometimes I could not produce the beauty of the subject as I had in my mind, so simply I drop those).
I've read about many blogger turned author stories, Preeti Shenoy- Just a mother of two, that's a good read. I've gone through one of her post, telling about a 10 day challenge.... and simply gave a second thought. So from today onwards for the next 10 days, I'm gonna post something. Hopefully as this blog does not have any traffic (and since there is a possibility of heavy traffic in future) I'm going to write my own version of 10 day challenge...

sps.

people

The thought of some people gives a seotonin(happy hormone) rush, while the thought of others makes us feel depressed and gives a sting of hatred. All this happens because of the experiences we had with them. I'm not discussing about the fair people around me, whom I had known for a long time. This is about the "sthayi bhavam", after all first impression is the best impression(its not so- at least for me). I've met lot of people with a facial expression that reflects 'all the troubles in the world is with them'. And I've also met people (note: who are not fair) but have a pleasant smiling face, oozing with confidence. I admire them and wonder what thoughts are going inside them. I wish I could chase them and learn how they maintain that bhavam. Its not the makeup, color or build that makes them stand out, but the mere pleasant mood. But how did they manage to get in that mood? and, remain in that mood through out? I'm still searching for the answer...

oil pastel

This was my first endeavor in oil pastel. It was a fast work, have not spend more time on this and wanted to complete it as soon as possible, (because if there are no timeline I may not finish this work aswell, I've lots of unfinished works in my list and doesn't wanted to addup this also). This was made on a sketchbook with camlin oil pastels.

There Comes Papa

Publishing an unfinished artwork, for me, is like taking an unborn from the womb. But I couldn't help this. lot of effort has gone for this, but unfortunately I couldn't complete the painting. And I'm sure that the paper might have lost its grip as this was done long time back and the photograph was clicked on Jan-2-2008(luckily I could make out from the properties of the image :)). This was done on simple chart paper, with water color. Here is the link for the original creator, Raja Ravi Varma.
