Baudelaire

I made this drawing one afternoon almost five years ago. I was just browsing through some of Dad's old books and found this artwork on one of the book-cover. It struck me somehow and I decided to make my own version of it.

Belle

This is a song by Jack Johnson titled 'Belle'. I really like how he uses 5 different languages in this remarkably short lyric.Below are the original lyric as well as the translation, which I believe is faithful to the best of my knowledge.

Oi Lienda

Bella que fa?

Bonita, bonita que tal?

But belle

Je ne comprends pas français

So you'll have to speak to me

Some other way

1: Hello, beautiful. (portuguese)

2: Beautiful, what are you doing? (italian)

3: Beautiful, beautiful, how are you? (spanish)

4: I do not understand French (french)

5: So you'll have to speak to me (english)

6: In some other way. (english)

Divine Comedy

Blake's depiction of Dante's Divine Comedy. Another masterpiece.

Keep Smiling

I couldn't fall asleep and so here I am, again. I feel I have changed a bit lately. I've become a manic insomniac and I can't think  positively anymore. At the moment I'm frustrated with the whole system around which my life revolves.

Every night no matter how tired I am the moment I hit the pillow my journey to my future life begins and I would become wide awake again. Just like tonight. Future life?? With the situation I'm in right now future seems to be nothing but EMPTINESS.

It seems like everyone's moving on except me. But no mater how frustrated I am inside, the moment I meet someone I smile, it is involuntary and it bothers a lot of people because they always ask,"Why are you always smiling?" and I just smile back to their question.
