Breathe Easy…
This is all one can do sometime…this is all one should do sometime…infact all the time…breathe easy…let life take care of itself…

Happy, sweet, chirpy smiles…
Last night I took out my new empty journal…it had been lying around for a while…well it’s been about 2-3 days so to speak….and I couldn’t think of anything…but smiles…so here it is… Somehow I can’t seem to have enough of these swirls. These are very addictive…must say…

Loads of sweet, happy, cheery smiles for all…

Doodle Spree…

Feelings…
Feel the feel before you let it go… Let it drift with a gentle blow… Look there it goes… and here comes another… It follows your thought like a child his mother… Let it play a bit, let it tug and nudge… It may play its pranks…but don’t you budge…
-
Just a feeling?
Well, yes, just a feeling can change everything!

Flowers
Don’t know what these are called but I really love these beautiful flowers. Love the color! I have clicked like a zillion pictures of this one but never got down to sketching it ever. So today it was… the day when I finally got down to it. Couldn’t do it standing… so had to pluck…

A walk in the park
Went to the nearby park for an evening walk. The weather was amazing and so was the greenery all around! Couldn’t resist sketching this…
-
Rains are here to stay…
Finally it rained today! Even though it was only for a short while…it was a very welcome change. Two sketches I did today…after the rain had stopped and I had finished my evening tea. Added a hint of rain in this one!
-
Bryophyllum
I really find it fascinating and kind of admire this particular creation of nature…the fact that you can multiply it by simply plucking a tiny cluster and planting it in soil anywhere you desire. It is such a ‘grounded’ soul!! There is a distinct softness and beauty in this little plant.

Sunflower
Been thinking of painting this since a few days now…finally got down to it! This lovely yellow beauty is growing in a pot in my garden…I had been eyeing it for long…everyday hoping that I will paint it the day it is the right size…today it completely lured me into sketching it… I am kind…
-

All lit up…
Got this lovely lamp a while ago but never really got to light a candle in it…y’day while enjoying the super weather I sketched it in my digital art journal…
-

Sitting pretty!
Found these beauties in my garden y’day… the harsh June sun has swallowed all the flora but these beauties seem to have survived! I had read somewhere that the best place to find god is in the garden! True indeed!

Tender tendrils
Tejjas is very fond of rajma and chawal. No doubt it’s the most favorite dish of everyone around too. Off and on he likes to sow the rajma seeds in anticipation of eating his own home grown beans! I was sitting in the garden enjoying the cool breeze and wondering what to sketch…and here it…

Little by little
Little by little… I gather my thoughts. They tug, they nudge… I connect the dots. Like tiny bubbles… They rise and get less dense. Bit by bit it all makes sense…
-

Be like the birds…
Be like the birds, the flowers and the trees… look at them they have no worries. Things of the future and the things of the past… the days become weeks and the months don’t last… and nor will the flowers, the birds and the trees…

High up in the green mountain…
Here’s a ‘tiny’ poem and a ‘little’ painting I just created in my digital art journal. It is inspired from a photograph I recently saw. This is nothing like it though. Just Inspired! Just felt like creating a home amongst the trees… “High up in the green mountain there lives a little bird, amongst the…

Gushing thoughts…

From my garden
Just before the rain drops came falling down, I managed to quickly sketch this beauty! Just went with the flow and the limited palette.
-

My garden
While sitting in the garden waiting for Tejjas to come back from his ‘Choi Kwang Do’ class and while struggling to keep the mosquitoes away I managed to do these quick sketches. Enjoyed the process. Since the bamboo app on my Note 2 has a limited palette, it helped to quickly sketch these ‘beauties’.

Sit in silence and smile
[Made with Samsung Note 2] Nature has provided us with this tiny tool called smile that can help a ton. It is the best way to feel good, make more friends and live longer. All that and more packed into this tiny tool! The best form of meditation ~ sit in silence and smile.

Teddy and the yoga bag…
Some quick sketches…love the teddy…since Tejjas refuses to play with it…I can safely call it mine 🙂 enjoyed sketching it…it looks a little sad though…no? And here’s my yoga bag…well before you jump to any conclusion…let me make it clear…even though I keep thinking about excercise in my mind…I rarely put it to practice…I know…
-

It’s easy to live this way…
It’s easy to live this way… which way? You wonder? The easy way, I mean! It’s as easy as that. It’s as easy as breathing easy. Of course, that seldom comes easy. But that is the only way. Breathe easy and experience the divine presence…
-

Like peas in a pod…
When I find myself in the inside of me… That’s where the soul resides… I find God… That’s when I find myself in every being around… Like seeds in a pod… Attached to the same source within… So let this journey begin…
-

Stillness…
The constant chatters in and around us are constant. Silent gaps between these chatters bring us closer to our selves. Our selves or what they call the Higher self, is often lost in this chatter… The spiral of life may leave you in a jitter It is sometime sweet, sometime bitter Just clear your mind…
-
Are they flying still…
I see birds moving away… Fading away…away into the sky… From the window where I sit…I often watch them fly by… Going home to their nests, to their little ones perhaps… All eager and waiting… I watch the daily drill… I wonder…have they reached? Or are they flying still…
-
Is that not so?
Some days are good and some not so Some start on a good note and some not so While some bring cheer and some not so While some seem all uphill and some not so This is what makes a lifetime…worth living…is that not so?
-

Tangles
Ah! The smell of a new sketchbook…I know it’s been ages! Yes! I think I say that each time I post something…and then a huge gap…and then there is something that comes in spurts and bounds… I enjoy drawing tangles, the organic shapes that emerge in particular draw me into the unwinding patterns and shapes…
-
The voice in my head
It often talks to me…even when I am not free… It talks and I listen and sometimes I talk back… It talks about the missing tiles and it talks about the lack… The voice in my head…I wish it was dead… It talks about the past and of everything vast… The topics are often the…

Happy Soul
Buried under your random thoughts you will find yourself…dig deep… Underneath is the real you…the higher self…Take a deep breath and witness… Peace. Love. Joy. Inspired by this one, I created this… laboriously digitized but a labor of love…for sure! Six different designs…one for each 2 months of the calendar year… And a placemat too… Peace…
