Heal

An injured and depressed Mother Nature is healing herself; Water is clearer and grass is greener. Good for her that the dark forces and demons are locked up for some time. This is a conceptual artwork. 

Medium- Soft pastels and FC Pitt Pens on A5 pastel matt paper.

Deep Silhouettes

Clicked this one rainy afternoon. This photographs speaks to me on many levels. It can indicate distance within relationships, when you cannot leave but retire in your own corners. It can also indicate that you are comfortable being on the same plane and some distance is keeping things fine. It can also depict that you find you are upon yourself like everyone else around you; alone but not lonely. Or that you have found your comfortable space away from the web of life. Anyway, I love this click!

Leaf Art

I spotted this yellowed Banyan leaf in my veranda and decided to use it for some creative purpose. This painting over it is done with sketch pens. Please click on the image for a better resolution.

I Broke A Million Strings...

The maze is eternal with roads galore

Deeper I gaze, sink I more

Simply an endless swim without a shore

Keep passion hidden and face stoned

For each one is wolf in angel’s robe

Not a soul can be trusted, nor can be loved

Still a million strings tie me to the web of world

Let me break all ropes and take a road straight

Still keeping safe spaces on both the ways

 

I sever all strings once I feel Thee

All cravings go numb and

Soul feels like a bird set free!

I soak His light and sleep deep inside

Lo! I am the new sprout in the womb of light

Pains and joys are trivial now

From a raging fire and flaming ember

Here I beam with the joy of surrender

I am but a clay with scent of Thee

Ah! I can be anything I wish to be

For I have broken those million strings and

Soul feels like a bird set free!

We are a family!!

Sometimes, even the most mundane things can give you deep feelings of joy and happiness and can put that wide smile on your face within a second. The best part is that all such things are free! What I mean here is that we just have to be a little observant of our surroundings and keep an open eye. A small birdie decorating its nest to a tiny and colorful butterfly fluttering around that yellow flower to two baby squirrels running after each other to a new flower bud and the like and can make you forget all your worries and take your mind off your problem. This post is all about such beautiful and happy go lucky creatures of good God.

Recently, two birds decided to build their nest in my storeroom. While the male bird would bring in all the straw and other material and would hand it over to its lady, she would do something really really cute; she would always ponder for 2-3 seconds and then place it appropriately as if some interior decorator is thinking about the exact placement of furniture and lampshades. I have been observing this pair since the time they started fluttering around the storeroom. 

Now, there lay two beautiful white eggs and I am eagerly waiting for them to get hatched so that I can listen to the sweet melody of two new lives, the most beautiful creation of God. I feel we all should imbibe this thing that we hold no right to kill any of the living creatures for food or fun; they also inhabit the same earth as we do.
