Smudge effect...








































While doing this sketch, my hand brushed against the wet just drawn
stroke by a green gel pen...my first reaction was shit! but then i liked
the effect and decided to smudge the entire picture on purpose...
and the result was quite pleasing:) want to try more of these later.

and i dont know why i drew cats...i am not too fond of them,
the annoying cat at my college saw to it...but sometimes they
look cute.

Sagar Kinare

The sea is overwhelming.

As i sit on its shore, time and people begin to fade into
oblivion.The water comes gushing from all sides, leaving behind a
tingling sensation.The waves come over and over again, embracing,
leaving a little too quickly.One minute, i feel complete - loved and
wanted. the other minute they are gone, leaving me behind,
desperate and vulnerable.

The vast expanse of blue bring a false sense of calm.
While the trivialities of the past begin to settle down, many raw
emotions are brought to the surface...emotions i cannot recognise,
feelings i cannot place. but i choose not to dissect them...
i chose to leave them that way.

The sea, i feel shares a deep relationship with everyone that
walks it shores, and someday, it will reveal its answers to me.
Till then i am just content being there.

(Had written this piece after having spent a morning at
Velevar beach, at my friend pradnya's beautiful village Auronda)

pages from my book








an attempt at writing poetry

a fountain of desires spring up in me,
away from what people call reality

a bag load of obligations i wish to leave behind,
a life away from life i long to find

a deep rooted need to accomplish,
something hopelessly ideal and utterly foolish

for once indulge in dreams without fear or guilt,
wander aimlessly yet return fulfilled

open up to gifts unknown, unseen,
brighten up your soul that's so starved, so dim.

eye opener

first post:)

hi everyone,

had being toying with the idea of blogging since a while...
and am finally having one featuring my sporadic attempts
to express through words or sketches.
