So I recently had this capillary in my eye. Nothing to worry about apparently.
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.
The workshop in Munich
Last week I went to attend Urban Spaces in the Web 2.0 Era in Munich. It was organized by Martin, Moritz, Nemanja and some others as well, and was a part of the C&T2013 conference.
Here are the sketchnotes I made:
First there was a Pecha Kucha session, where we all had to present our position papers, beginning with Elmar

Lea, Zack

Mads and Nina

Pelin

Maria, Dimitrios

Pasi, Bronwyn

I was the last to present. Then we formed groups and went out into the city for a field exercise, each group to a different location in Munich. My group was supposed to go to the Viktualenmarkt, but unfortunately it was shut, so we went to Marienplatz instead. Then we came back and presented our findings, around different ways of navigating the city.
Here’s Nemanja and Martin presenting their findings, they used a paper map.

I got really engrossed in the discussions that followed so there are no more drawings from the workshop, but later on at the conference Moritz presented the workshop proceedings (only he wasn’t grinning like I’ve drawn).
I’d never been to a workshop before, so this was a really good beginning. The best thing was that everybody was coming from different backgrounds around a common theme, and so there were a variety of perspectives for discussion. I came away all inspired, and looking forward to the next workshop 🙂

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…
