METAMORPHOSIS

Its strange sometimes how a painting can turn out to be.
I had a vision of a painting i wanted to do since ages....it may sound a bit eccentric but it did appear to me in my dream (the things I can dream about!!). The actual concept was something like this......





Finally got a canvas and as is my usual practice of not using a rough sketch , I just put brush to paint and started ....a stroke here...a dab ther....one thing led to another...a little dauble at the corners , a frenzied brush play .....it was like the painting got done on its own.....and the end result.....

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

OK Friendship day today and have to write about it.
Like any other normal extrovert, I have plenty of friends ( im not bragging, just happy about the fact) and each one is special. Each one with special memories to cherish for life.
Im here all alone and listening to songs like ""yaaron..dosti "" from ROCKFORD and am looking back at the chronology of a friendship
We meet as absolutely strangers. A small countenance, a minuscule shift in the deeply woven intrigue of destiny....a casual acquaintance that leads to a life long friendship.

Nonpareil are the times we share together. Those unforgettable parties, those exciting picnics , perilous treks...those crushes...the love affairs...the broken hearts....the patching up and breaking off...the flirting....the bird watching.....the nicknames(lasts for a lifetime)....the leg pulling...
All that laughter , the fun, the backbiting, the crazy fights, the whole gang grouping up to bring the house down in movie theatres, the last benches in college...the bike rides....getting drunk.....and then suddenly reality dawns and everyone and everything is thrown into disarray.
People scramble out all over the world, some in search of greener pastures, some for education, and some just get married off to timbuktoo..
It really bums you out when you sit in your office cubicle thinking where all that magic went.

Wish life was one pretty dream......but it isnt and here I am writing about it.

No im not emotional about it and am surely crying about it ( that part I leave to those select few who cry over silly things like after watching ""PAA"")( yes neha that was a potshot at u)


Missing everyone......keep in touch people
