Mahabharat......

This is a painting on my wall....called the Mahabharat.....

Its about the chir-haran of Draupadi... the politics involved (symbolized by the chess pieces)... and the game of "chaupad".... And behind all this.. Yudhishthir was helpless and could do nothing apart from closing his eyes and crying...

Lahrein....

Lahrein...

bahut poocha sagar ki in lahron se....

kyun kinare se ye takrati hain....

karti hain ye kinare se bewafai....

ya sagar se wafa nibhati hain.....

Shayari by one of my friends..... This painting is basically an analogy between waves and an indian woman..... Like a wave hits the shore but still says in the sea... similar is the case for a woman.... On the other side of the doorstep stands her dreams, her career... but on this side is her family... her children... So should she fulfill her dreams or should she stay back for her family??? An indian woman chooses her family over her dreams in most of the cases..... So is she justified in doing so....???

Life @ IITB......

Entry at landscape design competition.....

It shows what we desired, dreamed IIT to be and what it turns out eventually.....

Students come in with great expectations, with high hopes of a better life.... but for some, it doesn't turn out that well.... For them, IIT cuts off a dimension from their lives.... Hopes of good grades, high salaries, etc are thrown straight on their face.... and all that remains for them is to drown in alcohol or even suicide for some.....

Our ears are open to hear all the criticism we face by our failures.... but our mouth is shut......

Nirnay.....

Nothing better to start the blog then some of my artworks..

This one is one of my favorites.... called "Nirnay".... Twas one of the productive things i did while training at bangalore was sketching...... 

Its basically a man at the gates of heaven n hell.... The fire separates out his evil (black) and good (white) parts and then decides where the man should go.... So this is the "nirnay" it takes......
