On the Metro, hairdos and some
Most of the women that I see on the metro have long hair, but these ladies really stood out.
Sometimes there are women who spend their commute doing something else other than on the phone. Here’s a girl who was reading a religious text and chanting throughout her journey.
This girl spent the journey staring at her reflection on the window behind me. I forgave her, she had just lost a gold ring.

Sometimes the women are pretty interesting.
If they’re dull, I practise.
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.
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).
Trip to Mcleodganj
A few weeks ago we took a tiny holiday and went to Mcleodganj in the hills where the Dalai Llama stays.
We were staying at Cloud’s End, a lovely estate between Dharmsala (the lower town) and Mcleodganj (the upper town)
Most of the days were spent hiking up to Mcleodganj.
These two monks spent most of their days in the cafes, we used to meet them every day
Then the monsoon arrived.
**bhajjias – potato fritters
**langurs – monkeys
**It was Lord Dalhousie I think, not Elgin.
Then I stopped drawing.
