That Sensitive Soul.....

        Hey Girl why're you out in the dark...don't you know what waits outside? Why do you wear such clothes...why dress up like a model in the fashion show...don't you know what waits outside ? Poor Girl.....no one knows what she wore that fateful day...her partner says she was claded from head to toe...but nobody saw...'cause she lay naked on the barren road full of staring eyes and no helping hands...raped and brutally assaulted.....shivers and jitters and protests followed.....justice, still delayed...justice for her stupidly sensitive soul.....never acquired...............................                                                                                                                                                                            

The Refreshing fragrance...

The Mask...

Since sometimes I've grown an interest in the mask, make-up and the facial expressions of a Kathakali Dancer....so when I had few minutes in hand and nothing to do...I just picked up the nearest drawing materials available and jotted down this face....as it was there in my mind ...:)

Canopy Walk....

The calmness and the cool shadows of towering deciduous trees with sun playing hide and seek amongst the canopy of leaves is what I seek......and the bright naked sky at the end of the rim of the canopy reminds me of the routines of the day to day life.....

Diwali Greetings...

Never tried anything digital...this time with a pencil sketch I tried a hand on it.....what say folks?
HAPPY DIWALI to all of you everywhere...................................................

MUSINGS...

They say and aptly say that for the Bengali community around the world the year starts with one Durga Puja and ends with the other....five days of frenzy and craziness about being the most devotional one are the specialities of puja. Sometimes I am amused as well as amazed by the thought that how can we give in to such a craziness...yes, craziness...we are simply crazy about Maa Durga...We just love her unconditionally..patiently wait for her the whole year and gradually prepare ourselves by getting our Pooja plans ready......Now that this year's frenzy is over...a natural void is engulfing me and I am struggling to get back to the regular routine...only to count the days down for the divine mother's next arrival....:)

A Complete Woman....

As a child, I 'd be staring at the huge idol of Maa Durga in the Puja Mandap, awestruck by her stern yet beautiful face, the grandeur of her fineries and wonder why does she has to have ten hands....!! Now, I understand the symbolism behind every aspect of it. We don't call her mother for nothing...Her ten hands..symbolises the multitasking often done by all the mothers in every household around the world..and..her fiery demon demilition , if not destruction, at least rebellion against the social evils...She's flanked by her children as the Mothers always are....even in her work, her leisure. And her fineries, a woman's ever fascination for being the most charming and beautiful one.....A COMPLETE WOMAN...
