eau de Cologne


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, and those French colognes are nice too), but since they are a men’s product, she goes to the women’s section, and settles for the one she finds smells better than the others.
So I don’t use, say Axe, because I’m told by the manufacturer that this is meant to attract girls, so you are getting attracted to it, but also not buy it, for the same reason! ;)


Uh..another random post ends here.

By the way, you know one good thing about exams? They get you all excited for the days that follow the end of exams. :P

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. :)
