Some time back a friend asked me to make a pencil sketch for her. A 'Vastu' consultant had suggested that a landscape will be suitable for her, and gave her some specific directions. My friend also wanted me to cheer me up by taking my mind away from my illness and getting me to do something I enjoy. It was some time before I finally started on the sketch, and completed it on a day off. I did enjoy doing it, and was reasonably happy with the result too, and I sent it to her hoping she'd be pleased. But well, that was not to be. She gave me a call, regretfully telling me that though she liked the sketch, her consultant had asked her that her sketch should not have representation of water (it is inauspicious for her). And I guess I forgot this in all the time I took in starting on it.
I had to say ... uski ummedo.n par paani phir gaya ... quite literally.
Well, no problems ... I can make another one.
I made a careful selection this time.
But oh! a flop show again .... the pots represent water :-(

Sigma,
These sketches are beautiful! clap clap clap
Have you ever thought of taking it up as a second profession when you are bored with those so called tech stuff ?
Arrey compliment hai, le lo !!
Excellent !! I am actually speechless.
@PM: Thanks a lot!
@Cuckoo: Could you please tell that to my manager and throw him a scare ? ;-)
Poetry, photography,sketches-any art form that you haven't touched, Sigma?
@LeziB: ha ha. Perhaps I may be called 'Jack of all, master of none' ? :-)
well, you are pretty good at all of these things so may be a 'master of all', Sigma!!
They are excellent! I wouldn't mind getting one of those...
Hope you're feeling better now!
Thanks for your comments at Blogtrotter, where I finished my Greek Islands 2006 adventure with a post on Cretan Towns!
Enjoy and have a great weekend with another great sketch to come!
Sigma, just Awesome. I dint know about this talent of yours. I was sleeping and suddenly woke up by this post and broke my absences in Blogsphere.
How are you.. Wish you a Happy Holi. I am in States and Njoying here.
@LeziB: Ha ha! I know it isnt true by my remotest imagination, but thanks anyway!
@GMG: Thanks! Perhaps I can give one to you next time you are in India. Well this weekend I didnt do a sketch. But I played with colors (though it was the festival of Holi, I only played on paper), and completed a watercolor I started last year. My visit to Blogtrotter is slightly overdue, but hope to catch up with you soon!
@Pijush: Thanks a lot. So you have moved to states ... I thought this time you were going to stay in Cal for longer :-)
