Doodles and drawings





The best ideas come while sitting in the bathroom 


Crows attacking the security akka when she goes to the terrace to check the water tank





Caricature of a batchmate





My brothers at a train window


Sketch of the tree just outside the local fruit shop








This was a small cubicle in the veranda of a house that served as a post office

The Slug



Silvery trails criss cross over the footpath
testament to long journeys braved
with the danger of being squished by passersby. 



Stars, sky and sun


The continuously shifting clouds 
send the beams of sunlight
dancing on the slopes of the hills. 



Corridors of sunlight 
shift planes between the leaves
and the petals fall like snow.



The darkness outside is glittering 
like a star studded sky with tiny specks of green light. 
it is especially beautiful when they fly over the pond and the water mirrors the flickers. 
Jugnus are amazing!




Walking on a ridge on top of the world
numb with cold, saturated
with the magnificence of the mountains all around
in the blue light of dawn. 




Staring into the deep depths of the blue black sky,
as a gentle breeze ruffles the ground,
and the drifting cloud puffs show and tell the stars.

Finally

I've been trying to click a photograph of these two birds for quite some time now but never managed to. I was really happy to get it finally and that too both on the same day. The first is a Hoopoe and the second the Indian Roller or Neelkanth.




Young leaves and the setting sun
