Crazy trance yogi..


In my hometown, Madurai we find this kind of Speaker sets all over the city at any point of time. Any festivity.. these green guys comes out on to the streets and the whole locality is entertained by the loud music all day... Quite a strikinng sight to see to..These speakers have the shop name hand painted on them...

And crows as we all know found every where. Particularly with me it has a remarkable effect in its presence. Iv had interesting encounters with these guys when there was a nest in the teak tree at my home.

I dont believe that meditation or a meditative state of enjoyment needs silence in materialistic terms. So to the contrast we have this yogi enjoying his meditative presence withe the music taking him through it..

hey guys the auto-rikshaw that did as i had mentioned on the previous post



im exploring Photo inks as a medium for my illustrations..
this is one of my first few tries..i am getting pretty good at it.
Great medium i shoud say. An interesting medium - i think this is the only medium that actually dyes the paper itself , while other mediums like water color or poster color are particles that just stay on the surface of the paper.

noisy.crazy.autorikshaws.....

Every day i read and research about all things that fascinates; intriguies;irritates; attracts me. And each search makes me realise that theres lot more that we are unaware of to any thing that we take for granted. One of my friends, Surabhi told me "why dont u put these things on the blog so it will be a documented search and all ur friends will be able to utilise ur searches and gain from it".
So here i am surabhi.. :)

i love our autorickshaws and i was doing an illustration of an autorikshaw (soon ill put tht up too)
that when i started this search on autorickshaws...

i love the autorickshaws . and love them the way they are. I am not sure how many have come across this concept autorickshaw here. i just hope this will never have to come into our streets and throw away our beautiful autos which people feel very free to customize and decorate unlike other automtives.
http://indiagenie.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html

i think that in such cases designers should take a stand and protect such beauty and just let the common people do the aesthetics for the framework as it happens with autorickshaws now. look at what a great vareity is seen in auto-rickshaws... woud be like killing to let something like thts TVS one to take over.
ah.... not to forget auto-rickshawas' hand painted graphics. check some here on someones flickr profile i came across... thanks to tht great soul who also likes graphics on streets like me and spent some time to upload it for us..

chumma stuff....( Kuch bhi )..#2

On a park bench.....
:P

chumma stuff....( Kuch bhi )

The kiss.

I feel you growing closer
I feel you in the air
And I call
I know you hear my voices
I know you're drawing near
And I'm waiting

So Come away
So Come away with me
So Come away

In the dawning of my night
I am free
Lying by your side

There's a fire
in the water
You're drifting into me
Falling free
Burning eternally
Confessing all
I keep thee

So Come away
So Come away with me
So Come away

In the dawning of my night
I am free
Lying by your side
And as the stars
begin to call
I awake
As you're diving
down for me

So Come away
So Come away with me
So Come away

(the heart form was put up by Neil Dantas a friend of mine and can make whater one wants with tht form....thus this started.)
