Airport people
One of my favorite things is to draw people in nowhere lands. Here are some sketches at airports.
And I don’t draw people who look perfect. No fun.
Mahabalipuram
The Five Rathas were better than I remembered

We hired bicycles and went for rides. The market on a weekday was such a nightmare –
…no wonder the cows hung out at the beach!

The funniest monk
I met a monk in Ladakh who narrated the buddhist scriptures in the funniest way. Here he is in front of another monastery.
Jaisalmer!
From the terrace of a house in Jaisalmer Fort. We traveled on an empty train through the coldest night over the desert to Jaisalmer, but the view of the fort at sunrise really made it worthwhile!
We went to have dinner at Nachana Haveli, which had great food, and a chatty owner who showed us around his whole house and his tiger skins and bear skin rugs!
(overheard: a little British girl wanted to dance for a living like the Rajasthani performers there)
From the stairs of the raja’s palace in the fort. Many conversations with many people, and the lady who owns 8 July. I also ended up meeting a user of ibibo!
Some of the stuff from the famous Salim Singh ki Haveli. Our guide was awesome, and he made the whole story come alive.
The fort from the entrance where we also got compliments for our drawings! (and I had some fabulous pasta at the desi Little Italy just inside the entrance!)
the bikaner diaries – part 2
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!
