Wander Bay

Very recently, I went on a houseboat at Alappey with my handsome bestie.  The journey was calm, much needed in dosage and the experience was sweet and serene. water, boats, daily life, bridges, kettuvalloms, canals, trees, glorious food tasting, awing at the size of lobsters, wading ducks, rowing a boat, paddy fields and the calm punnamada lake. look ahead the tattered bridge. slightly different, the angle. fancy them skies house. boat and trees pazhampori (banana fritters) and tea. life's this way just get into my mouth already, sexy! This was all mine safely, because my company was a fraud mallu boy sauted and boiled veggies. just good. cabbage sabji a little kitty awes at the fishes she might get her luck on! daily life | kuttanad. Punnamada lake and houseboats was much needed. I also waded through the water on a small boat, rowing across the vast 'kaayal' (lake), sheepishly looking at the life outside...

I have been drawing caricatures lately. Back to the good ol' habbit of drawing that I am in,  I decided to bring back my own scribble book and start up! I need inspirations to draw further more, although here in this one I gave it dedicatedly to my semi roots. Dhe! Malayali series is about a few malayalis and their most likely attires, jobs, names and culture. Not saying much, but you can always see!

Ahoy! the mighty Tungabhadra! Let me make my way waves and live upto bliss. Cradle  me in your palms, touch my hair, enlighten me, blow me a kiss Let me churn your splendid waters, and play and be enthralled on your lap for its my wish for long that it has been and can't swap. A journey through Tundabhadra; once in 2010. New journeys coming up. Soon. Indulge me.

Haven't you heard of Pussy Riot? They're these really awesome bunch of women who are very vocal about things they stand for and first to protest any development politically that they dislike. Based out of Moscow, Russia, no prizes in guessing why this group caught my attention. Russia has an extensive and fascinating history, but as a generation galloping towards change in ideals, these girls use music and dance in well crafted lyrics to put forth their point. Currently they aren't happy with Mr.Putin's regime. So they go singing a punk prayer song at this really old Christian church (very orthodox), that spoke, mocking Putin and his regime, claiming mother Mary and the Virgin being anti Putin. The funniest bit about this church being the fact that the patriarchal priests were chanting a prayer of a blessed womb and a blessed wife, and yet refuse women to be sermonizing at the altar. They claim that these girls would've been burnt if it were the 16th century (no...

Some extra effort has been put on at work these days. And that effort is growing on me. This realization dawned to me as I sat in a junk pizza place munching one of those cheesy bastards, hot and nice with mushrooms on it, waiting for a friend. It occurs to me that we, literally, throughout our lives, live celebrating our food. I am not someone who instagrams my food the moment I set my eyes on it, but I do click the food that actually makes a difference to me at a particular instance. For example, if I am tired, I cook some lemon rice with some mint chutney and since at that moment it is my comfort food, I record it in my phone, don't post it anywhere. Or if I am on a train and as hungry as a mad dog, I click those parippvadas just because they gave me my piece of pleasure I so wanted. Record to remind. So, now I added instagram filters to my food-photos and man do they look nice! I just rummaged through my phone and I find that I have tons of such Food pictures! Shar...
