the silent enchantress maya




There is this song about Maya,that i heard recently,and i really wanted to illustrate that feeling for some time.

Today's topic is Maya.

"This inexplicable cycle of life and death can only be explained as Maya – an illusion. Beyond this lies our True Self, our Soul which is never born, that never dies, never changes and never goes or comes. Without birth or death, eternal, ever-existing, free, unchangeable and beyond all conditions is this Soul of man – the real Self of man."
~ Swami Vivekananda


Thanks to Nandita for suggesting today's topic.

The most common virus i know of is TROJAN... And when i googled abt it... I got to know abt the horse Trojan after whom this virus is named....the story is such that the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse and hid a select force of men inside, to enter the city of Troy... Destroy it and end the war.

Bald!

Artistically bald! 
Posting an old work :)

On a lighter note:
God made few perfect heads all the rest he covered with hair!

385_The Bald and the Beautiful


For background info on this phobia, see HERE.

Hair today!!!

Well this is what I could come up for todays theme : Bald :)

Bald

I am surprised to know that I chose the word 'Bald' for Chumma Draw. Two things that scare me most are bald men and mushrooms.  I didn't want to copy a bald head from google images as that would be a trite interpretation, so I decide to show my fear of Bald in this quick drawing of a Scary Bald Thing. 
This is how I perceive bald men.


And Donna's DQ labs book is slowly filling up :)

Chankya



Sorry for the poor quality and small image of pic. I generally post it from  mobile so it coms like this :(
