For my dear friend, SAM

This illustration is dedicated to Sam, in remembrance of the day when we got mad at everyone and just lay flat on his belly and slept off.*giggles!*

He somehow supressed his anger on me for distorting the shades that he is wearing in this illustration. Sorry Sam...I will pay up for it some day.

Sorry chubby, but there is something that I really like about this illustration...which couldn't have been better for it represents the epitome of pouty-ness in Sam's character.

*GAFFAWS!!*

Birds

This is a passer by's random thought:
The walk towards the field brought a strange, concentrated smell.A massacre it seemed on the earth.The eagrets, they were on 4 tall trees towards the river,occupying every branch space.
Fear of the shikari??no,no...they did an escape from the zoo perhaps...birds of a feather, fear together....

rather...birds of fear, flock together!

Chi-Chi and Puk

Always felt that empathy is the most essential attribute to do whatever that we might want to.

This nightjar tale comes from a workshop project: toys for slum children.The raw material for the toy is something that they find around themselves all the time. The toys are such that once taught, even they can make for themselves...yes!the attribute of desirability.

Chi-chi flaps its wings and its tail flutters when nudged on the side of its belly with the thumb and index finger. Puk is a finger friend...:)

THE SAMURAI called ASHOKA

This is the outcome of someone stepping on my tablelamp plug and crushing it, and one lazy afternoon...

So yes!Someone stepped on my lamp's plug and rendered it useless, until it took a re-birth as the SAMURAI called ASHOKA! Some decided to call it Jap's husband.(She is a day older though.)

Both of them met, of course on my table lamp :)

It was born to serve a mission,to stop a war between a friend and myself...Ashoka has been sent to the other side as a peace diplomat:P

JAP

This is from one of those days when you really feel like making something.So you pick up whatever that you can lay your hands on and simply start. Looks like a mysterious girl, walking off somewhere...it was not much later when I found her husband and landed up in Japan for some reason(...of course in my dreams)!

A story thence follows...
