Journey

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 distance traveled, a passage.  Now this distance can be both in space and time, or in any other dimensions you know of. This distance can also be the distance between two thoughts. If distance traveled is a Journey, then this easily explains every imaginable act/process as being a Journey.
  • Life, the distance traveled between birth and death, is surely a journey,
  • The distance you travel to meet a person, whether a few feet or several kilometers, is a Journey.
  • Your studies are a distance between 'not knowing' and 'knowing'. Similarly, work is a distance or a passage between 'not done' and 'done'.
  • The passage between thinking about your dinner to thinking about the spaceship that was recently launched, is what? 
Examples are many, just to prove here, that, although it might sound stupid when i write it, because i'm not the best writer, but Life is a Journey, and perhaps Journey is the most important word in the dictionary; because to me, it explains a lot.

A wonderful topic of Blog-a-ton this month. Take Care guys and Enjoy all your journeys.

    A journey can be in the literal sense or it can be spiritual or consisting of any other emotion one can think of. Nice way to describe that.

    All the best for the BAT.

A Dedication to Mr Picasso

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. :)

Sketch Pen Stuff

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) :)

Black Sketch

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. :)
