Today's topic is car.
A car is a mode of transport that helps you go from one place to another. So let us draw the car we own, travel in or our dream car; the one we would love to own or maybe just build our own imaginative car!
In less enlightened times, the best way to impress women was to own a hot car. But women wised up and realized it was better to buy their own hot cars so they wouldn't have to ride around with jerks.

Morning music from my kitchen window!
790_window
Today's topic is window.
It has nothing to do with Bill gates ;)
Every morning, we wake up & open the window curtains to let the Sunlight in.
Then look out at the view available, some of us are lucky to have our own gardens.
Others have to be happy with the borrowed view i.e the neighbours garden.
But most of us have to be happy looking at the neighbours house!
Whatever the view, we are grateful for the Sunshine!
Let us draw the view from our favourite window.
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
Walt Whitman
Bad weather always looks worse through a window.
Tom Lehrer
My house borders horse farms, and I can look out my window and see the horses and the new colts. It's really peaceful.
Queen Latifah
I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.

Every time we visit a lake, river or the sea, we are tempted to take a boat ride! What is it that makes us want to do this? Let us explore & find out why we love boat rides.

It's new year, how many cards did you send to wish your near & dear ones & how many did you receive? How many letters did you write in 2013? How many times did you visit the post office? I know, technology has brought the World closer, now you don't have to wait for a week to get a reply from another continent, it is instant! But the fun of writing on onion paper, putting it in an envelope, having it weighed, buying a stamp, sticking it & posting it! What fun! So let us get all nostalgic & share our post office experience here!
Did you know that India has the most number of post offices than any other country! (over 1,20,000 post offices).
