Today's topic is Idli-Vada.
"It’s time for the Queen of South Indian breakfast dish: Idli-Vada with Sambar. I call idli as a queen because for some reason the title of king belongs to Dosas :) This Sunday we had Idli-Vada with delicous bowl of Sambar for breakfast. My hubby and my dad are big fans I have ever seen when it comes to Idli-Vada. The steaming fluffy and soft Idlis with little spicy and tasty Vadas dipped in delicious Sambar… Awww…. Nothing is better than that!"

443_Indian Republic Day
Today's topic is Indian Republic Day.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
~ Rabindranath Tagore

MARRAKESH
Some of the Chumma Draw subjects are difficult given the many possibilities combined with the time constraints. This subject is one of them.The challenge is to come up with the simplest and most effective solution.
I arrived at this after stuffing up numerous other options and inwardly swearing at Rajni Sir for choosing this. (I would have liked him to choose the subject 'Fish' everyday). Finding this solution got my brain working furiously though. Good exercise :-)
Two elements that symbolize Marrakesh in nearly all the pictures I've seen are the beautiful arched windows and the colour blue. I've combined both of them here in this minimal drawing.
Marrakesh.
Marrakesh???( I dont know anything. But i searched and found something intrersting to me . so done a quick sketch using ink and posting it)

Today's topic is Marrakesh.
Salmon-pink
city of the living
teeming, steaming, shimmering
mottled mint tea afternoons
shade seeking shade
arch beyond arch, ‘neath
a cobalt sky
shell-brown beauties
hidden behind black

Capri
This of course, is a far better drawing than the previous one.
I'd always wanted to draw Capricorn. The drawing turned out well, but I screwed up the finish due to impatience and a busy day. Therefore I've applied a filter to act as a kind of veil.
I will do this again, but for now, this is it!
