Quotes

Hi everybody,
A pencil sketch of the 'Simba' from the film 'Lion King' done by me hurriedly for my son, to which he smiled radiantly.

A notebook of 'Quotes' collected  little over a period of  20 yrs from various sources like magzines, newspapers  to which I am still fascinated , so I  scribbled  them  which I now read nostalgically and keep adding to the same collection newer quotes, which impress me the most....

Rangoli

Rangoli

It is an art form practised in India to decorate the houses, the front porch, the garden and is  considered auspicious . The floor is usually cleaned first and the designs and patterns are made with coloured powders or rice flour in geometrical or  freehand in an imaginative way thus giving a  pleasing sight .

The above rangoli is a simple design made from a book on the eve of a 'Hindu' new year falling on 21st march to welcome the new year.
