Mumbai Rains

Inspired after a long time: witnessing the first rains while sitting in a rickshaw.

Mantri's Don't do Mornings!


For some reason I woke up early, tried to draw my mom, and the house at this time. Morning life is different in its pace and in its progression, maybe that is why I DON'T DO MORNINGS!!!

Bird Watching?!?


There was this pigeon that had laid an egg at my window, while studying every time I paced in the room it stared at me as if I was some predator about to attack it. It's unnerving stare kept moving with me as I paced from left to right, after a point I left my book and just kept walking to see how it reacted to me sans the foreign object in my hands. It still appeared to be afraid, so I got my sketchbook and painted the pigeon, when I got back to the room after finishing the sketch it was gone. I feel bad that I threatened it in such a manner, maybe it was watching me, more than I was observing it.
