507_Easter
Today's topic is Easter.
A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.
~ Mahatma Gandhi
God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.
~ Bede Griffiths
The symbolic language of the crucifixion is the death of the old paradigm; resurrection is a leap into a whole new way of thinking.
~ Deepak Chopra
We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.
~ Dwight L. Moody

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
~ Carl Sagan
I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.
~ J. B. Priestley
It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.
~ Elizabeth Taylor
The opposite of talking isn't listening. The opposite of talking is waiting.
~ Fran Lebowitz
All good things come to those who wait.

500_Five Hundred! :D
A BIG THANKS to all the Incredible ChummaDrawers who made this possible! And a SPECIAL THANKS to Prabha and Rajni Saar who doggedly kept up the daily posts, providing us with toon fodder to keep those creative cells ticking! :D
500...
WIP will add more photos & upload the updated version. This was made with existing photos.
The right hand bottom picture has 100 sketches, that was a crazy thing I drew for CD when we hit a century.
Thanks CD & CDers, it has been a interesting journey of 500 sketches. Hope to walk the next 500 sketches successfully with all of you!
A logo for CD!
Woo Hoo!
When Donna gave us the humble DQ pano-format books,
our CD journey began on 10 November 2011.
We mark our 500 days milestone today.
Mainly thanks to Dinesh (and Rajni Saar),
this CD journey has been a wonderful daily fix.
This isnt easy at all to keep at it,
so all the credit goes to him and him only.
(well, impossible is possible when rajni saar is involved)
Also thanks to Sridhar Sir and Charu being regulars
(among others) who have kept the fun going.
I can only wish that we draw daily
and share with other ChummaDrawers
(with or without the nice comments) :P
Cheers to ChummaDraw...Hip Hip Hooray!

Poem:
Sing o chime
for the wind to carry your song
through the ear to the heart!
ekla chalo rey
This beautiful poem By legendary poem by Rabindranath Tagore inspires me a lot
যদি তোর ডাক শুনে কেউ না সে তবে একলা চলো রে।Open thy mind walk alone
একলা চলো, একলা চলো, একলা চলো, একলা চলো রে॥
যদি কেউ কথা না কয়, ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,
যদি সবাই থাকে মুখ ফিরায়ে সবাই করে ভয়—
তবে পরান খুলে
ও তুই মুখ ফুটে তোর মনের কথা একলা বলো রে॥
যদি সবাই ফিরে যায়, ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,
যদি গহন পথে যাবার কালে কেউ ফিরে না চায়—
তবে পথের কাঁটা
ও তুই রক্তমাখা চরণতলে একলা দলো রে॥
যদি আলো না ধরে ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,
যদি ঝড়-বাদলে আঁধার রাতে দুয়ার দেয় ঘরে-
তবে বজ্রানলে
আপন বুকের পাঁজরা জ্বালিয়ে নিয়ে একলা জ্বলো রে।।
Be not afraid, walk alone
Jodi tor đak shune keu na ashe tôbe êkla cholo re
Jodi tor đak shune keu na ashe tôbe êkla cholo re
Tôbe Êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo re
Tôbe Êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo, êkla chôlo re
Open thy mind walk alone
Be not afraid, walk alone

497_World Poetry Day
Today's word is World Poetry Day.
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
~ T. S. Eliot
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks.
~ Plutarch
Always be a poet, even in prose.
~ Charles Baudelaire
Any healthy man can go without food for two days - but not without poetry.
~ Charles Baudelaire
I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything.
~ Steven Wright

I m a princess
I am brave sometimes. I am scared sometimes. Sometimes, I am brave even when I am scared.
I believe in loyalty and trust. I believe loyalty is built on trust.
I try to be kind. I try to be generous. I am kind even when others are not so generous.
I am a Princess.
I think standing up for myself is important. I think standing up for others is more important. But standing with others is most important.
I am a Princess.
I believe compassion makes me strong. Kindness is power. And family is the tightest bond of all.
I have heard I am beautiful. I know I am strong.
I am a Princess. Long may I reign.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Luarizl2vmc
