Only...

What are you but the smallest piece of this world...what's your purpose but to change as the world around you does and just wait for your time to end...you think you are of value but you fail to realize the darkness around you...even your soul has darkened...your valor, your energy, your everything is being consumed by the darkness...you are becoming a part of it and will be replaced and forgotten when your time comes...

You think what choice do you have, you have done your best, you have worked hard, you have "achieved" things...but you fail to realize that so have others...look around, the world is full of people like you...you are nothing but a blur to this world...

Baboon - sketch

Intended to upload this since a few weeks...a simple non abstract sketch after a long long time...
Guess it doesn't need any explanation on my part :)

Out of place...

A painting after a long long time...

This tells about the situation when things are out of place, when situations change, your life changes and its just not in place...the bottom half represents the present, when things are gloomy, you are unhappy, alone...and the upper half represents the good times, when you were happy, when you used to enjoy every moment of your life...but sadly they are just memories now...they don't fit into your present...things are just out of place...not the same now, will not be the same again...

Painting and then photoshop to help the cause :)

Alone...

Back after a loooonggg time...but a full time job really eats up all the time u have...

..

neways...this ones called "Alone"...it shows how and where a man is alone...his only support his himself...when he is crying...he's alone...when he's reaching out, trying to achieve something he's alone....even when he gets everything he wants, he's all powerful...he's alone...when his heart aches, when his age tests his body...he's alone...he's alone even when he's in a crowd for no one can understand him...no one can see inside him...

..

The tree signifies his life...what it becomes...all these events are like the roots which lead to this bare tree...

Mithya...

This story is about a woman who lives in different worlds...her work, her home, her relatives, her dreams...all of them are around her (symbolized by the rectangular frames)...she is the same in all but the things around her change...in some she is all alone, in some she is surrounded by people, some like her and some different...she tries to be in the reality but something pulls her back to her illusion...her dreams (symbolized by the bubbles) try to become a part of her reality (symbolized by the big red frame in the center)...in some she is a princess, in some she is an ocean...in some she is the moon, in some she is the air...she tries to achieve them...some are well within her reach and some are far beyond...some are too dark or unclear for her to see...

She tries to maintain a balance between the illusion and the reality...tries to be practical...but she is pulled into the illusion again and again...she has to realize that she has to stop trying for her illusions is a path to her dreams...she can't be happy in this real world, their are far too many unrealized or broken dreams in it...she has to stop trying...she has to stop crying...
