Metro sketchbook, part 3
Women on the Delhi Metro, part 2
The mobile phone is surely the lifeline of commuters everywhere. Here’s a girl gossiping on the phone while her neighbor is engrossed in eating a bhutta (corn) even though eating is not allowed on the Metro.
She’s drinking juice while talking on the phone –
While this girl is talking on a phone held to her ear and watching a video on another one in her hand!
*(OH: You’re so jealous of my happiness)
I would draw the women at 6 pm than the ones at 7:45 anyday!
The brown boy in Paris
The brown boy had a fantastic time in Paris last summer.
He began by showing off the only word in his French vocabulary…
Then, he found posters of his favorite bande dessinées auteurs and ate les moules frites

He loved the quaint hotel on the top floor in Montmatre, and soon got used to walking up the hill
Charmed by the Mona Lisa, despite the crowds of Japanese tourists and their cameras, and inspired by Van Gogh,

he spent days drawing in cafés and only pausing to see some of the sights –

I think he will agree that we got enough inspiration for at least a year.
Another sketchbook
I seem to run out of sketchbooks whenever I travel. Here’s another one that I had to buy in Paris last year.


Leaving a piece of me
Women on the Delhi Metro
I usually spend an hour on the Delhi Metro every evening. Sometimes I sketch the women around me (since I travel in the women’s coach).
