Siddhartha

The ornaments show he as the prince yet to denounce the worldly charms but the calm and tranquil face evokes the aura of a saint.......he is SIDDHARTHA on his way to become BUDDHA.

Tranquil...........

Lord Buddha said..."Peace is within oneself...The mind is everything, what you think you become"......

Trance

Once I came across a beautiful 'baul' singer...she mesmerized us with her haunting melodies...I could feel the stir around her as she sang and danced her way to everyone's heart.....while herself remained calm as if under a trance......that was soul stirring.....

Holi Hai

The festival of colors, the colors of spring and happiness, fun and frolic, sometimes madness is just round the corner. Everywhere color filled packets, color sprouts and guns( a la machine gun style) have captured the market and every Indians thoughts. Just when I too was engrossed in preparing for that special day's agenda...I came across a photograph of this fest, it was so lively that I thought of giving it a try in my own way.........HAPPY HOLI

Chit-Chat...Spit-Spat

A few days ago there was some chit-chatting around which led to huge spit-spat among the ladies and so very unfortunate that I too got involved......suddenly it came in my mind...what happens when such confrontations happen......some fight, some have huge laugh behind others back and the kids....are bewildered.......:)

The Gypsy Girl....

As I sit idly at home with my son, my fascination with the gypsies continue and I try yet another of their portraits.........thought of trying to capture some light too......

The Hundredth venture..............

My hundredth post........WOW! I made a maiden century over these years with an acrylic work done on cotton Kurti material using Chinese White and Ochre Yellow...It was refreshing and exciting......thanks to my friend who forced it on me.....:)
