About Nothing

A chance to win something from an artist I really admire. Though I wish only I would know about this and I'd be one of the 3 who win, I'm blogging about it...cuz I have to, and also so that you don't miss a chance as good as this! Check it out at Pop Art Minis. 

Nothing to say really, just wishing a good day to all my friends at Sunday Sketches and to everyone else. Thnx for stopping by! :-)

I've not been at home, so couldn't draw anything nice and new, just posting something I made years ago, when I was in grade 2 or 3..don't remember exactly. Enjoy your Sunday! Really looking forward to all the wonderful works posted in Sunday Sketches this weekend. P.S. I shall draw something new and good when I go back home, definitely! Cinderella it is.

Was just sitting on the terrace star gazing a few nights back. I wish there was a camera in my eyes. Sunday ends the week, but paves the way for a brand new week, wish you all the best for it!

An apple for the approaching autumn-winter season for all you wonderful artists at Sunday Sketches , and for two of my weird friends...they know who they are. :) Good Day!

My sister got new sketch pens, and while she was sitting watching FRIENDS till late at night, though very sleepy, I decided to draw, and came up with this (with a few others, that I haven't shared here): The background here is MS Paint. And then a few nights later, when I was just irritated because nothing seemed to be working at all, I made this (by the number of mistakes in it, you can tell i was irritable that day): And last to last night, I just wanted to escape from the scenery on the right to the scenery on the left: A very good morning and a happy Sunday to you! The weather is pleasant, as the rainy season(monsoon) is about to start, so the best thing to do is to view some lovely artwork at The Blue Chair Diary's Sunday Sketches , while listening to some awesome music. :) P.S. no pencils used at all (such a relief not to use the eraser) :)

There were 2-3 things I was thinking about. 1.  Why do we have to have general knowledge? I think it sucks that we have to. And general knowledge, in our country, as understood by our elders, is knowledge of politics and those news in the papers. They say you should know how your country works and what is going on in the world etc, but I'm not interested in politics. Now if you meet me and we got talking, you'd probably say I'm dumb or stupid or illiterate because I don't know these things. But read the newspapers, all they contain is news about corruption, rape, murder, robbery etc, in short, all the bad things. Not only that, also, the news is just scattered. Newspapers don't have much that interests me, they seldom talk about medical breakthroughs, amazing discoveries or upcoming artists. 18 out of the 22 pages are filled with non-sense, 2 with sports news, and I don't know whether it's any good or not, because I don't read sports news, and the la

I'm searching for a nice new template for my blog. Till I find one I like, I'm keeping this one. I'd love to have some suggestions as to whether this one is good enough, and what other kinds of templates would you guys like, etc. Thank you  :)

Ah, the sketch day is here! I took a break from Sunday Sketches last week, so I've been eagerly waiting for it this Sunday. So my previous(and second ever) oil on paper was a dedication to Mr Picasso, this one, my 3rd Oil on Paper is dedicated to all the classical music artists, and to the lovely instrument, the Piano. Well a little bit of information about the Piano :  Piano, short for Pianoforte', the terms "piano" and "forte" meaning "quiet" and "loud" respectively, when devised in 1707 as the very early and crude version, was called "harpsichord with soft and loud".  And now over to the other wonderful artists' blogs.

Here's my late submission for Sunday Sketches today. Earlier I was planning not to post anything this Sunday, because this week, all i did was admire other people's great talent, and did not make any drawing myself. But now I'm posting this several months-old drawing, that i made with a normal writing ball-point pen (I like to draw with anything that's available). Basically I watched the 1st film of the twilight series back then, and while i was watching it, the CD cover was lying on the bed. So i was looking at the cover, and my fingers just involuntarily made this :P Edward and Jacob I'm not sure I'l have the time to leave comments on anyone's post this week, but I do go through most of them, because i absolutely love it, so if you stumble upon this post, then i suggest you do check out the others at the Blue Chair Diary (this is actually a link, just not underlined).  It's night here, so have a goodnight. :)

Okay I have a random question, though it’s a stupid one, but I don’t know, it just popped up in my head. So girls wear deodorants/colognes/perfumes that are meant for girls to wear, manufactured as girls’ products; and similarly men wear those manufactured for them. But when we go out in a party or on a date, don’t we wear fragrances that are attractive to the other sex?(like there’s this advertisement about a perfumed soap for women in which the lady comes into her room after having taken a bath and the husband goes completely head over heels, and all Romeo.) So if fragrances are meant for the liking of the other gender, then why is it that we go and check from a thousand bottles to buy a perfume that We like. If guys and girls like different things, then we are not supposed to like what we wear. And if we are wearing a perfume/deo that we like, won’t that just attract people of the same sex to us. Or maybe, it’s like this, a girl likes men’s fragrances more (i love Axe,

  This is one of the bookmarks I had made for a friend, the front and the back side. I placed it in the book I gave her as the present. :) Happy Birthday to Sophia 's Dad!

Hey Good Afternoon! well this got really late today, but here is my Sunday Sketch. It was drawn with a simple writing pen, coloured with a bit of crayons and MS Paint. The lady isn't most beautiful, but after a day of writing a report on Violence Against Women, I couldn't expect myself to get a beautiful drawing. (made on Friday) And now that you've seen this, do go over to Blue Chair Diary to treat your eyes with some better artwork! :) :P

Because men have feelings too (though most of them are related to female bodies, but i like to believe they think about things other than that too). . . My Sunday is incomplete without Sunday Sketches .

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 19 ; the nineteenth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . While being a person who likes reaching places more than travelling ('cause travelling, sometimes, gets painfully uncomfortable), i greatly believe in 'Journey'. I do believe that life is a Journey. We start, and we end life, but what really is our destination? None and many. But for the most part of life, aren't we just travelling, small distances, large distances, distances in our mind. It is a journey, with lots of small goals. Every several intervals of time, we change paths. Isn't being able to think in 5 different directions a journey, your writing, your art, your work, as you grow older and move back and forth, both physically and mentally, in your life, all of it, a Journey. A dictionary defines Journey as a d istance travele

The title is just like that :P So these two i made in my very boring Machines lecture. We don't have a single good lecturer in college. Any way, this is how i pass time in college. . (the 2nd one's my lecturer :P) check out some beautiful paintings and sketches at the Blue Chair Diary .

Why the newspaper i get at home is completely useless : While going through it, i read an article that said that scientists, in a latest research, involving more than a 1000 candidates, discovered that antibiotics are of not much use during Common Cold and can totally be avoided. Helloooo...we already know that! What part of this is 'latest' or 'research' now. . . o.O My parents know that, even my grandparents did. And we were taught in class eight, i guess, that the pathogens that cause Common Cold/ Flu are mostly VIRUSES, like Rhino-viruses. Any way newspapers are crap. :P Have a nice day!   

I know i draw without taking any lessons and so most of my drawings might be technically incorrect (and sometimes hard to draw too), but at the end of the day, what matters is that i love it. This one is an Oil on Paper, my first proper oil on paper portrait. Took me about 4 hrs (i guess i should buy new brushes, they don't look so good . .) and now i can't breathe, thanks to the turpentine. Looking forward to your priceless feedback. :)   

What do 2 different doors placed in one room at different places (with no 'Enter' & 'Exit' signs) do, make it easy to enter or easy to leave?

Something i drew last night...for the reason why i mostly draw...to get rid of sadness/trouble. Couldn't get a better picture. . . Also it was really hard, on a useless black paper, with the worst pencil colours ever. If it is too bad, then just for the idea of the drawing, there are houses, tree trunks, two people, clouds, grass and a road in it. so i realised that it is a Sunday, hence, I'm over to Sunday Sketches now. :)

 I've been trying to study, and this is the result (just a sample, though most pages are filled mostly with doodles). :) A little description: The girl is just like that, perhaps my mood it shows. The other one is a frame held by a person, with the picture being a musical note (though it does like like legs behind an empty frame). Glass of water, that was lying on my side while i was watching the movie Water. Now the next one, it basically started with a 'V', became a cone, and finally this. And the last one started with that name, got framed into the roof, and finally the entire house.

This word reminds me of only one thing instantly, that is, Dance. We practice pointing our feet all the time. Nowadays we are practising for the annual cultural festival of our college, and while we practice, we also teach the younger members of the dance team. So in the warm-up exercises, we are going. "Point Flex Point Flex...Other Side...Point Flex Point...". These days are the best days of college life, minimum studies, maximum activity. :P :D Imagine, students dancing around all the time, heaven! This also takes me back to my dance classes, where again, our instructors made us do a lot of pointing, of the feet of course. I must say, those guys and girls work hard to get the best out of us. Now i can remember their words, "Point Flex Point and In...Point Flex Point and In" and then, "point, develope', flex and spray(x3)...and in. . .point, develope', flex and spray(x3)...and in" And actually it's a funny cycle, thanks to them, i'm say

Well India is famous for various unusual things and one of them is the Snake Charmers. In various parts of the world, people study hard and do lots of research before they came tame snakes; but here in my country, a person who can't even spell his name can tame a snake. I do not have any tale for this edition of the Thursday Tales , but my own. A memory, faint, but with me through the years. Nowadays one may not find any snake charmers on the roads, it does seem like just a thing of the tales, but i have seen snake charmers in my childhood. I do remember this one time, i might have been 5 or 6 or 7 years old , staying at my grandparents' house, a snake charmer came into the colony. Me and my sister went to see the snake being charmed, with our grandfather, he is a rather fearless and loving grand-dad. He and the charmer said we could touch the snake's tail if we wished to, and so we did, with a little apprehension at first, but then, it was just amazing. Now you see, we w

Me  : (thinking) Dude it seems they don't have much drinks here, all i see is water. Catering Waiter : drinks? Sis : Does anyone want the orange beverage? Cousin Sis : No Me : I'l have it. Cousin Sis : Uncle, get the black drinks.(and in a very kiddy tone) Waiter : Okay ~* a few minutes later*~ ...Waiter coming from front of the room, with 2-3 black ones on his tray, gets caught by a few kids, who take all of our black beverages. He looks across towards us and smiles. Comes to us... Cousin Sis : *sighing* What.. Uncle.. you didn't get our black drinks. Waiter : Every time i get them, they get taken already. Us(me, sis, cousin sis) : It's okay, next time, get straight to us. ~* a few minutes later*~ Waiter : drinks? Sis n C-Sis : Sure! *Yeah the black beverages at last!*

what they teach us... 1. UV rays are Red(CID). 2. Infra-red rays are Green(Dhoom2). 3. Most guys are cross-dressers, if not, then at least it is a hobby(lots of Indian actors have done this, from the 50s till date. Govinda, Salman Khan, Riteish Deshmukh, Rishi Kapoor and lots more.) And the great thing is that no one notices a difference between a girl and a guy dressed in a girl's clothes; or a man & a woman dressed in a man's outfit..even when the person is sitting right in front of you. 4. Most girls of the 50s-80s India were wealthy college students, while the boys were multi-talented poor chaps, who might have had nothing, but had Ma (mother, the greatest wealth), or some who weren't even that lucky. (watch as many old movies as i have watched and you'll know.) [this is a great contradiction to the typical Indian scenario, where, even till date, there are families that don't believe in educating the girl child, and some that don't believe in th
