Musings of an eccentric mind
We look up –
When we yearn for rain,
Or rays of sunshine
And for a silver lining.
We look up –
When we dream,
Or think of the struggle ahead,
And when we succeed.
We look up –
Whether for strength,
Or for hope,
And in glory.

As I prepare to step outside, I keep my phone camera handy.

I turn around and tell my mother how I interpret her drawing. In the 30 seconds it takes to get down the staircase, we have had a full conversation of the different ways in which we perceive the world around us.
Amma‘s drawings on the floor are my inspiration – a world of art that flows effortlessly through the stone powder – a new one, every single day.
More about Amma’s kolams here.
And here are interpretations of the kolams in verses, written by my mother.

A couple of weeks back, the Daily Post asked us to show forces of nature.
While I did not have a photograph to show, I was inspired to paint something involving as many forces of nature, and a few forces that are influencing nature. How many can you identify? Who’s the strongest of them all?
An artwork commissioned for newly-weds N and M. Wish you both a very happy married life 🙂
Inspired by the initials of their names and the date of the wedding.
Sometime back, I unearthed old drawings from the depths of my cupboard*.
I’m not sure what this drawing is about and what was going through my mind at the time I drew this. Perhaps it was my subconscious trying to communicate to me. A few random thoughts escaping the labyrinth of my brain, and finding their way to the paper.
From what I can imagine, it is likely that it started off as a tranquil hill. And then somewhere down the line there was turbulence of some sort — a storm at sea — which tossed away all notions of peace.
What do you think? How would you interpret this?

*Other old drawings from the past:
A few months ago, as I was cleaning my cupboard, I came across two drawing books. They were from my school time, and I had long forgotten about them. As I flipped through them, I wondered why I no longer drew abstract drawings. Perhaps it is a lack of creativity. Or a lack of inspiration. Or perhaps it is the fear of being judged. I doubt I ever showed these drawings to anyone. For this week’s photo challenge, though, I dug them out again. Here is one of them.
