Clearing

After a long days walk... One finds just that perfect place to camp for the night.
The last sun rays are, as if, saying good bye and here the trees are just inviting the camper to rest in peace.
Dedicated to all my friends who go for treks, something which I have not done and somehow feel cannot do... Too lazy to walk ;-) ;-)

Shri Jagjit Singh

8 Feb 1941 - 10 Oct 2011...... but forever...

Aakash ka Suuna pan .... Mere Tanha maan me......

Introduced to me by one of my friend, to whom I will be thankful always, only for this ;-)

I am no one to write about his voice, his music or anything else but I can surely write about myself. Listening to him, I have always been transferred into another world, sometimes of outmost sorrow and sometimes of colourful joy, sometimes of sublime serenity and sometimes to an unexplained uneasiness. Just a voice has done so much for me that it is hard to accept his loss...... very hard.

Although I know that his voice will never go away but to see him sing, to see his smile, to hear him talk to his musicians till the time he is satisfied and even after that giving instructions to the person arranging the music..... ;-) I will miss that.

May your soul rest in peace Sir....

Four Friends
Maybe, the 3 rocks and the Tree have been friends for years, just maybe.
Maybe, they have survived the Storms for years together, just maybe.
Maybe, they have basked in the morning Sun and enjoyed the evening breeze, everyday.
Maybe, that is what they all are talking about on this magnificent evening. 

The Expanse
When I am on the beach viewing the expanse of the Sea I feel overwhelmed. Same feeling comes when I see the various such expanse. This time it is the Grass fields.
No matter how much man progresses Mother is probably reminding him to keep his feet on the ground.

Made in India...
The Festival season is round the corner and so is shopping. Or should I say the Shopping has started. Why not buy from an authentic Indian store? Tradition at its best. I didn't know why but I had to paint that statue in the door of the shop.

Reference photo used for this painting is by my friend Kaustubh Nandurbarkar, many thanks to him.

Gajraaj

It was the Ganesh Visarjan day... Immersion of Ganesh Idols. After a 10 day long festival this day always brings a bit of sadness in my mind as the beloved Lord leaves, only to come back after a year. To get out of this sadness I painted the Lord in a different way.
