430_Swami Vivekananda
Today's topic is Swami Vivekananda.
"Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this Divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal.
Do this either by work, or worship, or mental discipline, or philosophy—by one, or more, or all of these—and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details."
We celebrate 150th birth anniversary of the great Indian monk and philosopher.

Happy Birthday Ramya!
After many unsuccessful attempts (including getting inspired from Anil and trying pencil)
i could attempt this in watercolor.
I hope there is likeness at least.
Hope you had a great time yesterday Ramya! :)
Happy Birthday Ramya and many happy returns of the day.
A word about this sketch as :Din says we may choose to say something. When I saw the profile pic of Ramya on PJ, it reminded me of a Modigliani painting. (Photographer to be congratulated too for this delightful photograph!) I wanted to do a portrait based on this picture right away. When I asked Ramya for a bigger picture, she was all grace and kindness and sent me one.
I tried my hand at it a dozen times and failed. When I saw the CD subject today, I went for it again and here is the result!
Wish me luck, I plan to pursue this, to do this again more like a Modigliani work, sooner or later!
Thanks and best wishes once again Ramya.

"Oh where have you gone
My old Bangalore ?
The old charming Bungalow
With red bougainvillea
Framed by trees
With yellow forsythia
The city of lakes
With an abundance of shade
And tree-fringed boulevards
Like South Parade."

Delhi-India gate
.Delhi's India Gate is one of the heritage place in India ......I still miss this place as i spent a lot of time here having fun v my cousins .I joined my college of interior designing and had fun learning lot of things .I remember we used to go to this beautiful and historical place v our friends and spent quality time watching children ,people,hawkers walking around.I remember how cold it is in winters and how hot n humid it is in summers,but i still enjoyed a lot doing shopping at Lajpat nagar,palika bazar,chandni chowk.......and h can i forget yummy snacks like gol -gappey,aloo chat,dahi bhalley,choley bhaturey,faluda kulfi...yummmmmmm.
I love this place but as far as safety of women is consider this place is really not safe..that is really really sad.......I was doing job in Delhi at a place called Vivek vihar ,my timings were from 2pm to 8pm......but had a horrific incidence one day while returning back home so decided to quit tht job which i dint want to do but because of the incidence i had to quit.
Sheila dikshit has done so much for infrastructure of this place but it is still a hub of crime against women......which is pathetic ,shameful and Sad.
