Tears or Water.....

Woh Pyar kya Jo Lafzo Me Bayan Ho?, Pyar Toh Woh Hai Jo Aakhon Me Nazar Aaye…

Woh Aansu kya Jo Ankho Se Beh Jaye,   Aansu Toh Woh Hai Jo Ankho Me Hi Sook Jaye.

Girl and the Horizon

Just thought how it would be.. a lady stands by the sea and watches the horizon when the weather is awesome. The ship coming by  made it complete. Just tired to capture that imagery.

Brids

                                                                                                                                                                  

Sketched these up but the god knows why the pic chooses to come vertical. No option to even rotate the pic in this blog.... Anyways tried and just uploaded the way it is.  Tried these two birds just one for shading and one pure outlines. As usual enjoyed doing it. Hope you like them.

Just tried depicting Lord Shiva in a different way,  thru outlines. It is like a faint image of the great Lord in meditation.

Padàti/Bhata.....What's that?

Chaturanga ...ever heard about it.......
It is an ancient Indian game............
Chaturanga developed in Gupta India around the 6th century A.D.
In the 7th century, it was adopted as Shatranj in Sassanid Persia.........

It is the common ancestor of the game of Chess.....
Chaturanga had Padàti/Bhata......

Bulldog....a breed apart

Everyday I used to see this dog running around in our compound. Just loved its agility, small built yet fierce looking style...thus wanted to sketch it up.

Some Dope on BullDogs :
Bulldogs got their name because they were especially bred for Bull Baiting.
This was a “sport” in which a bull was chained to a pole, and dogs were let loose to tear the bull to bits while spectators watched and cheered.
The sport was made illegal in 1835, and breeders began breeding the traits of viciousness and fearlessness from these dogs so the breed could live on as house pets.

Ship an amazing creature in the Sea

• In 1898 (14 years prior to the Titanic tragedy), Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called Futility. This fictitious novel was about the largest ship ever built hitting an iceberg in the Atlantic ocean on a cold April night. The fictional ship (named Titan) and the real ship Titanic were similar in design and their circumstances were remarkably alike. Both ships were labeled "unsinkable". 
•   
•  There were no cats on the Titanic. Cats were often brought on ships as a form of good luck. They also controlled rodents.

Love the style that a guitar brings....looks truly rockstar.....so sketched it.

Some facts:
1. The oldest iconographic representation of the guitar is a 3,000 year old carving of a Hittite or ancient Anatolian bard playing the instrument.

2. The smallest guitar in the world is 10 micrometres long with strings 50 nanometres (100 atoms) wide.

3. Most toilets flush in E flat :)

Known by many names - Mahadeva, Mahayogi, Pashupati, Nataraja, Bhairava, Vishwanath, Bhava, Bhole Nath - Lord Shiva is the symbol of Shakti or Power.

A tree without leaves sketched on purpose...just to make myself realise...do something for the environment....

The below Quote is so Apt:

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. ~Henry David Thoreau
