From our first day in Bikaner. It was Vivek’s birthday.
From our last day there, while I was busy eating a rajasthani masala dosa!

the bikaner diaries – part 1
Last winter we went to Bikaner and Jaisalmer. Here are some of the sketches from the trip.
This is the Station Road, Bikaner. Our hotel was right across the street – can you see the windows of our room on the first floor? We were sitting in a restaurant opposite and eating bhajias and chai.
Here’s Vivek sitting and drawing away. We had many cups of chai and some friendly local people for company. On the wall at the back is a big mural of Krishna.
Here’s an old man with his afternoon tea and bhajias. You can see Chhotu-Motu Joshi, Bikaner’s famous halwai behind the old man.
This is the bhajiawala outside the hotel.
In the Gajner palace courtyard. Gajner was the Maharaja of Bikaner’s shooting lodge, a few kms from the main city, on the banks of Gajner lake.
reasons to live
I started counting some of my reasons to live. Here are the first three (I hope it’s not the only three):
What are some of your reasons?
Prash
The other day we went to see an exhibition by one of our seniors from NID, Prashant Miranda. He’s a very special person. I cannot remember a single student in the animation studio (at least) who was not inspired by Prash. He had the most wonderful sketchbooks, and it was from him (and a few others) that I got into the habit of compulsively drawing every feeling, every thought, every incident in my life
Anyway Prash has uploaded his film Father Balthazar on his blog. See it here.
