The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.

~ Hugh Jackman
When you travel so many weeks a year, it's always nice to have a home-cooked meal.

Diggin it
Lots of red soil used for gardening here.
This is the only action in this quiet laidback pace of life.
Action
Happy Coincidence. I had the reference picture for this sketch, from the Chennai Weekend Artists posts on Pencil Jammers site, on my machine and on my thoughts for a long time. Today I drew. I then saw Chumma Draw's subject for the day! I had not thought of scanning it at all but...
I got into action

Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.

~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.

What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.

~ Lewis Thomas
With time, fashion has become part of my DNA.
~ Roberto Cavalli
With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code.

Rosalind Franklin
J. D. Bernal called her X-ray photographs of DNA,
"the most beautiful X-ray photographs of any substance ever taken."
She was a remarkable woman.
A role model for those who want to pursue science.
Rosalind Franklin, whose contribution to the Double Helix structure of the DNA went unrecognised.
I have depicted her looking at the X-Ray crystallographic image of DNA and the idea of a double helix forming in her mind. (The eventual winners of the Nobel Prize stole her X-Ray films and came up with the structure according to some accounts. Ref: "Double Helix" by Watson and a Biography of Rosalind Franklin by Brenda Maddox, for instance)
624_Rosalind Franklin
Today's topic is Rosalind Franklin.
