  1. I LOVE this. Brought back so many memories of my own trip to Srinagar. And I travelled in the same taxi for three days..stuck with the driver who had only one cassette of Hindi songs to play. Hahahahah @ Lux cozi ads that decorate most of the shikaras. I was always quite excited to eat maggi though. Maggi and a hot cup of tea made me very very happy. I quite like the page where 'P'(of sleepiness) is dozing. Cute! And you like Hemant and Prashant's work. High five!
    Happy drawing :)

  2. hey thanks, glad u liked the doodles.

    the trip was wonderful and i hope to go back there someday.

    the hindi songs can be maddening then but it is such a fun experience to recall later:P

    i love maggi too, but u cant look forward to eating it when u have seen friends puking it out minutes later due to altitude sickness.

    are u a fan of hemant and prashant too?
