And here come some more...

Brimming with energy

Ive been busy :) at least slightly busier than I usually am. Okay, lemme put it this way. I have been KEEPING myself busy. Yes. That sounds more like it.

I draw almost everyday now. Am working on something and practicing figures for that. I think it will be a nice watercolor. But I need to practice my human figures before that. The proportion is so damn important. This is the most recent one I did. Not happy, but getting there. 

Apart from that, I have also been trying my hand at cooking. Well, baking I'd say. Made my first cheese cake and I must say for a first timer, its not so bad. Very decent. It tastes really good. I just missed the proportion. (looks like thats a problem for me :P ) I need to add more gelatin next time. Its turned out a lil less solid than it shud be. I got good feedback from those who I tested it on. Here's wat it looks like.

As u can see I have nibbled some off it already :) Yes, today was cheesecake breakfast ! Wat a lovely start to the day I say !

Repo Men

Average movie. I was kinda disinterested and hit the forward button at times. 

It is a futuristic movie. People who are ill, are given organs and have to pay premiums for them. If they fail to pay on time, the "Repo Men" come in and collect the organ right from their body. Strange concept and I wondered why they weren't any laws or regulations against that. Anyways, so this one Repo guy (Jude Law) is planning on shifting his job and has to do one last act. At this job, he is injured and has to get a replacement heart from himself. He then goes through a lot of trouble and cannot make his own payments. His partner (Forrest Whitaker) is sent in to collect his heart. The story then follows.

I really liked the ending of the movie.Very unexpected twist in the tale. Watch the movie just for that I'll say.

Btw, Repo = repossession, just in case u were wondering.

Very passable movie, I had to watch it coz it was lying on my drive and I wanted to delete it.

Blissful Mondays - 6

What could be more blissful than S being back..... words cannot describe the joy ! And I made this during my training session today ! I've learnt how to utilize my time at work well :) 

I use these double colored pencils, so I stick to the combo on the pencil. Next is blue-pink I guess !

Picnicing

Ah. Monday is here and all I can think of is going on a picnic. The weather is just perfect for one. These thoughts have inspired this.

Monsoon sunsets..

..look simply fantastic. This is one of the pics I clicked of yesterday's sunset. The camera wasn't really good so the picture hasn't captured exactly how it looked. It was simply fabulous. So damn pretty. The colors were fantastic. Orange, red, pink, peach, blue and black ! Just "WOW".

Isn't is b-e-a-u-t-iful !!!

B'day gift

I made a small b'day gift - a scrap book - and the cover looks somewhat like this - 

I was quite happy with the result. I hope S likes it as much. Its full of pictures and stuff. Had great fun making it last night. 

This moment - 4

I missed last weeks moment. I did click beautiful pics of a monsoon sunset but unable to transfer it as its from a DSLR and that memory card doesn't fit into my laptop card reader. Will have to buy one specially for that. 

Anyways, the moment for this week. As, S wasnt in town, mom decided to light a lamp for him on his b'day. We sent him our wishes and also cut a cake and stuff. It was so special. Really missed him. 

God bless u S. Have a wonderful year ahead.

Creativity strikes again - 2

Another drawing I made sometime during the past weeks.

It dint turn out exactly like I wanted it to. There will be another version of this soon. 

Office time creativity

We have so many training sessions going on these days. Most of these, we just have to sit in togive feedback to the trainer, the topics are the same, over and over again. So I usually take my writing pad and a pencil and draw, sketch or doodle. Here is what results - 

This last one turned out to actually look like one of the managers in my company. Totally unintentional.
