The New World.

This is also quite and old poem, I think some months after the 26/11 incident of Mumbai.I harboured strong feeling of hatred for the terrorist mingled with sadness for the victims.I don't really think the title suits the poem.It's the best i think of at the moment.

I woke up at dawn,
Stifling a yawn,
But little did I know,
What god was gonna bestow.

No one here without a gun,
The future of earth has just begun,
What is the world coming to?
Every nightmare has become true.

I feel scared to walk alone,
I guess it’s the fear of unknown,
But someone’s waiting there for me,
As terrifying as a banshee.

So dark the world has become,
Every soul has turned so numb,
Every heart has stiffened within,
True voice is lost in the din.

Why do those people love to kill?
And like to see the blood spill?
Don’t they have a heart at all?
Don’t their tears ever fall?

I pray all the terror to end,
All our wounded lives to mend,
I pray all the wars to cease,
And may everyone live in peace.

Misery....

This poem was written by me almost one and a half years ago. I was kind of a pessimist at that time. The first seven stanzas are of that period. I dunno why I composed such a poem. Anyway, the last two stanzas were added about like a some months ago. You can see the optimistic side of them.

I opened my eyes

To see the darkness around me,

I don't know why,

I've been feeling so lonely.

When I look back,

In my long lost life,

I see my mistakes,

Slashing my dreams like a knife.

Tears of blood oozing from my eyes,

Rolling down the cold hollow cheeks,

Muffled screams from beneath my heart,

Are reaching to their highest peaks.

I looked in the broken mirror,

And a strange face stared at me,

I spoke a few words,

And a small afraid voice escaped from me.

No friends anymore,

To share the joy,

No foes either,

Threatening to destroy.

Singing alone the tune of misery,

I walk alone on the road to nowhere,

Uncertainty gripping my soul,

Every thing's just become a nightmare.

Cursing myself for my saddened life,

I wish there was a reverse switch,

Luck has turned its back on me,

As if i has had some kind of glitch.

Somewhere inside me I just know,

I can lift my spirits and let them flow,

I can change every thing and begin from scratch,

It's the opportunities that I have to catch.

So people out there who still remember me,

Watch out coz I am going for a golden spree,

I am gonna rise and shine and show the world,

The bright side of me has just unfurled.

Manga Face In Steps :D

OK. Whenever I sit to write a test or an exam either in my college or classes, all I can think about is drawing. I guess that is the reason why i score a lot less now than I used to when I was little :D.

So here I was, writing my maths 1 paper in classes, not really knowing what the hell equation for a circle is, when I remembered a manga face. I had seen a video on Youtube on how to draw manga face. I love manga so I thought maybe I should try it out. I completed my paper in a jiffy( not writing much actually), and started to draw an eye on the question paper.I loved the eye so I drew half of the nose and half of the mouth too. So ultimately I ended up drawing half a face. :P

Here is the pic:
After a few days after that I had completely forgotten about the face. One day when I was sitting in a boring biology lecture in college, I remembered the face. So I flipped to the last pages of my biology book which is full of my scribblings and started to draw the entire face. I was holding only a normal HB pencil and hence the shading was not perfect. But I was very happy with the outcome. Its then that I decided to make the face again and color it.

Here is the full face:
So when I got back home I took a drawing paper and drew the face again with all my concentration. I then took out my brand new Faber Castell's color pencils and colored the face. I simply love the face! :D

And btw, I got 28/40 in the maths paper! :D

Swine flu hit India this august and almost around 25 people have died from this disease. It also affected the college and schools of my city to be shut down for a week. So what do you do when you are not allowed to go outside because of a disease and shut inside your house for 7 days??

My answer? Paint! Sketch! Draw!!:))

Ya, but i only did one painting:D

The remaining days I saw movies in my brother's laptop.

OK this is the painting that I made.


Its not exactly a painting. The idea jumped to my mind out of nowhere. I was thinking what to draw when suddenly I saw a girl, facing the wind, holding some flowers and smiling a little. Imagining is something and depicting that on a paper is another. I am good at drawing face and hair but not that good in drawing clothes and especially fingers. Anyway, I tried, and am glad it doesn't look weird.

I have used mix media. Drawn with a regular pencil. Background and base with water colour. Then used pencil colours for finishing.


Not one my bests, neither one of the worsts!:))

My First Blog!!!

OK. So this is my first blog. My brother advised me to start one to post my drawings and my poems. Well, its actually been almost three to four months since he said that. I tend to forget things:))

So, around fifteen minutes ago, I thought of seeing what my bro had posted new, when I suddenly remembered his advise. so I created a blog. I have to think about what I will post. Maybe drawings and my thoughts on random things!! Oh, well. I guess this is enough for the first post. Don't know if anyone is really going to read this!
