A page from that 2013 sketchbook. Don’t remember when, but I didn’t get much done that day.
Drawing always brings me out of my grouchy moods, even when I look back on them later. What are some of the things you do, to get out of your grouchy mood?

Doing what you love
If you’re like most creative people, you probably have a latent desire to do what you love for a living. The other day my friend Sumeet and I were talking about the very same thing –
TRANSCRIPT
The mistake that people make when they start to do something the love, is that they start equating that with success. But that’s not right – when you start doing something you love, your goals should be self-awareness, self esteem, the joy of work, and finally, creativity through play. Then, if success comes from that, very good. But if not, at least you enjoyed yourself and probably learned a little about yourself in the process.
@ Journeys for Water
A few days ago I got the chance to listen to Jan Chipchase here in Delhi, talking about the Journeys for Water project.
No quiero para mí tantas desgracias
Life is not all wine and roses, unfortunately. So then I draw a lot.
And sometimes greater minds can give solace too, for all sorts of sadness.
And then you always have to get on with life.
But the best side-effect is that, you really appreciate the things makes you happy.
Weekend art
From my March sketchbook.

Bangalore Art – There was an interactive dance show that we couldn’t find anywhere, not even online later
Mughal Gardens – Did you know Delhi has these amazing gardens? Now we have to wait for next year.
Rashtrapati Bhavan – That’s where the President stays.
Nityan’s show – my very talented friend is also a great artist.
TRANSCRIPT
Weekend Art (Kelas)
We went for Bangalore History and couldn’t find it.
BB: Oh it’s not even mentioned here.
We went to Mughal Gardens and it was already shut!
Finally we went to hang out in Rashtrapati Bhavan. And the call of coffee was too strong to ignore.
BB: Not all kelas (flops: pun) – We went for Nityan’s show last night
Me: Trust you to draw a silver lining on my dark cloud…
Chinese new year
This year I spent Chinese new year with yet another aunt and uncle – Bengalis have many, many uncles and aunts each – and their Chinese friend Wayang. We went to a restaurant called Mayflower. It was rather exotic.
And in between all the eating and drinking and talking, which I totally enjoyed, I managed to quickly make this drawing.
