The wonderment of watercolor

 

The peacelilly I've been eyeing,
the one that sways when the cool wind blows,
the one that's so precious white,
perched in my neighbours balcony.

Greeting me every day, a good day
acknowledging the oncoming pouring of cold slanty rain.
Breathing the wet sand and the darkest clouds
in the thunder, whiter as ever.

Art work by Gayatri - December 2020.
Watercolor on canvas.

An Open letter Dear C. I love you, really, I do. From the day I saw you, I have been smitten by you. You are gorgeous, round, perfectly tall, the right proportions, not an ounce extra or less, and just so perfect that at that moment I realized that you are the kind I have been looking forward to be stumbled across. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that you have influenced my life, you have. Because my perception of beauty has changed. You came to me or rather, I stumbled across you when I was surrounded by hugely comical, stupid-looking or Stern, non-smiling, non- friendly, arrogant type A losers- the typical extremes; and so, your entry into my life was perfectly timed. And now when I think, I couldn't have imagined how I finished all my work without your help. The way you paused, the space you gave, the right bend to my imaginative words; you fueled that. I propagate the idea of you to many around me because I value you.  ----...

Once the infancy withered off, Joy sang beautifully. The voice that eased out of her throat was charismatic, just like her Soul . Her dad was a singer too but wasn’t encouraged enough. Though he had learnt guitar and loved it, he had other plans for Joy. He didn’t want little Joy to suffer the way he did. So at the age of five, Joy went to a dance class and at nine, she joined a music school and began training for violin. She despised it at first; she believed that it was a waste of time. She cried, she refused to eat but soon, she began connecting with her blood full of it. Her discovery was that that the violin was alive. Yes, it breathed, ate and slept alongside Joy. It whispered into her soul and she did the same. The smell of mahogany became her own. The bridge of the violin she would compare to her button nose. They shared their happiness and sorrows mutually. A bunch of strings became her friends in life; they became the knowledge she shared, the wealth she possessed. Through...

Time for some Kodagu (Coorg) ya! As any other south Indian town, it has its own little charm. and according to me, Coorg is awesome. Like seriously. Not just because it so cold and all ( that even Bangalore is), but because it's so calm and nice to be there! the spicy food, the beautiful people, the air that smells of brewing coffee, spices (cardamom, to be precise), arecanut, boiling , roasted corn-tops and fir leaves. The roads are clean, saris are very specially clad, food and foodies are appreciated, encouraged. Must visit. The chant session at the Tibetan Monsatery in Kushal anagara is fabulous and a must check! young monks playing football and also playing their trumpet overlooking the cauvery, is spectacular. Priceless, as I call it. Coorgi food. Akki otti (rice roti), Ghee rice, Koli nalamol barthad( chicken pepper fry), Kuru curry (red bean curry in coconut stew) More here ------> http://bit.ly/gsn88-flickr
