Those Horses In That Grey Lobby

This one is not really my drawing but I want to share it anyway. This was an artwork on display on the wall of a hospital that I went to in December 2008 in Assam, India. I was in the lobby waiting for my medical report and this particular artwork caught my attention. As far as I can remember, I have always been fascinated by horses. There is a whole sense of vicarious freedom that seeing horses run free in the wild gives you and I've always relished that. I even rode one a couple of times when I was a kid. This picture brought back those feelings and some fond memories while I was sitting, waiting in that cold grey lobby.

Mr. Bryan Adams


I'm a big, big fan of Bryan Adams. He's is probably the reason why I became so passionate about music. I remember listening to Bryan Adams' records back in 1997 on my cousins cassette player. I was hooked to his music and I was just 6 years old!

This is a drawing of him I did back in 2004 or '05. I was still in high school back then and me and my friends religiously followed the music scene on a monthly music magazine called 'The Record'. They included free posters from time to time and I was lucky enough to get hold of a particular issue. I got Bryan Adams.

The Fab Four

Here is a drawing of 'The Beatles' I did when I was 12 or 13. I'm a big fan of 'The Beatles.' My dad introduced me to rock n' roll and country music quite early in life and for that I'm very grateful.


I will be sharing some old sketches with you guys over the next few days. I'm home right now and I just discovered a bunch of old drawings that I did some 4 - 5 years ago. I'm really happy to see all of them again.

Celebration At The Dhaba


It has been a hectic couple of months. Exams finally got over and with it the nightmares. Our first semester is officially over but damn it wasn't easy. I went out to celebrate with a few friends. We had dinner at a really fancy Indian restaurant called 'The Dhaba'. The food was really good. 

Our first ever vacation starts tomorrow and everyone is excited about going back home. Me too.

New Year, Old Song

Started the New Year with an old song.

"The Green Green Grass Of Home" by Tom Jones.

There's nothing like an old song on such a fine New Year's day and the knowledge that the ones I love are safe back home, back on the green green grass.

I'm not making any resolutions whatsoever this New Year. I don't want to make any promises that I know I can't keep. Exams are only three days ahead. Ok, let's forget about the exams for a while. We both know it'll come and go just like any other; and whatever happens in between stays in between.

I want to thank all of my old friends who took the trouble of tracking down my number and calling me up to wish me a happy new year. And Oh! I want to thank my lovely sister as well for calling me up, and Miss S. who remembered me after all these years. Happy New Year to you all.

Happy New Year, Anne.
