Chosen Innocent

This was done in one shot -my old trusty fountain pen and some green ink-that's all...the inspiration is Vandana Babi and the tale she told me -at Max's one evening where everything from the haal of Sufi's and out of body experiences , physics and remembering past-lives were discussed. Ma was with me. It was eerie. I believe Ashphaque, Max's brother, has lots to share. Many more paranormal tales. With nino's tea, pakoras and earthern pitcher cooled water -an evening to remember. It's a story, a drawing, an illustration and a poem. Was surprised the way it came out! Shikshantar(Udaipur) printed it in 'Swapathgami' in the last issue of the newsletter. I promised Shilpa to send the write up on it . But forgot!

I bought myself a tiny round box of kajal ...

nice and old fashioned...in a shiny green container...wish it was made of metal like Rakhi has...this one is just like Junuka's ...right after my daily idli jaunt I decided to go in search of kajal...Jai kajal it reads...was missing the usual finger-in-the eye routine ...kajal pencils are too dry and technical for me!
Was delaying my trip to the local farmer's market..instead there it was in the medicos counter...hmmm...will draw it and put it up ...a list of everyday ordinary things...
