samosa -watercolor-A5 sketchbook

from mobile net, got this image....

samosa, makes my stomach as chemical imbalance, so eat less samosa....
but its giving gud taste with tea....

samosa's are two types, 1) north indian samosa and 2) south indian samosa....

first one is too hard too eat, very tough material, (50 HRC- HRC meaning pls google it)
second one is somewhat Ok...

But i never forget the time, onion prices so high...that time in stead onion they put cabbage.
that was horrible,it was like a congress govt...:(

Bangalore Lakes

As long as there are lakes capturing rainwater, there is a certain hope for Bangalore's survival.

Try not building houses/offices, not reclaiming lakebeds, not throwing dump/ industrial effluents,

not destroying flora and fauna, not promoting any recreational activity around such lakes

and have an excellent waste water management in place.

Then we are talking.

Another Cauvery problem?

Please see my other "value dated" postings posted only today as I was not in town!

Save water

Poet I am not! But Write from my heart!

I wrote this on 1/5/2011

It is not necessary for every art to have a written word

or words to have art.

Sometimes words can be art &art in itself, words!

I made this sketch today

Pen Drive: Driven to extinction! Spare a thought for our sweet sparrows.

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils. ------------William Wordsworth

This is one of the poem which is very close to my heart and This is my imaginary small cute world full of fresh air ,full of daffodils , shiny sun,breeze v smell of fresh flowers , fluttering butterflies and colourful rainbow.whenever i am sad i just runaway to this world:)

An Ode to Chumma Draw :)

ChummaDraw poem..

ChummaDraw ChummaDraw
Daily draw ChummaDraw
We give topic
you make drawing

I log into ChummaDraw,
just to see what to paint.
I see the topic Poetry,
my mind goes blank as hell.

I sit to write poem,
my brain thinking what to write
I start scribbling on paper
just to throw the paper

Seeing the paper cry
I decide to write poem
ChummaDraw ChummaDraw
Daily draw ChummaDraw

Simple attempt on poetry..there is absolutely no rhyme or no extraordinary words in the poem..just that whatever came to my mind have penned it down..I guess it will not come under the poem category also..

My Khanapur Days

Inspirational Poetry from Tagore- Geetanjali

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.

132. Pen Drive: Driven to extinction

Spare a thought for our sweet sparrows.

Put your pen on overdrive, and spread the word:

Build a birdhouse in your garden, terrace, balcony, or rooftop.

And keep a little food, rice, breadcrumbs for them everyday,

and a bowl of water, especially in these hot summer days!

Let's hear the sweet chirps of

these little birdies again,

as we once used to.

Flash your memory..Remember me ??

Met a sparrow on the road..who told me today is the world sparrow day...

She asked me

where do my babies go..?

where do my babies go..??

small little babies go

brown little babies go ??

Give me a piece of wood

lend me twig and some seeds

give me a place to sleep

lend me a little space to live

Haven't slept for days

wept a lot for weeks

searched some space for days

not a week little tree to rest

where do my babies go..

where do my babies go..

friends, I had made this design of the sparrow nest then , and been thinking of making it

with help of my carpenter..if i could have actually made it and kept it for a little friend at least

for the special day today...
