Wild (And often, free)

"Ocean Heart" is an ode to this hauntingly beautiful parallel universe that happens to be here on Earth.

Around this time, last month, I along with two of my closest friends (and co-partners at Illustration Much) finally 

took a trip we had been planning for almost a year.

We traveled to Sri Lanka, a beautiful island I had heard so much about but evidently knew nothing about.

Little did I know I'd come back changed, moved and ready for more change. The people, the art, the beauty.

We rode through the busy streets of Colombo -

 

Mapped our way to Hatton on a long train ride -

And then we did for a countless number of Sri Lankans do, atleast 4-5 times in their life; We climbed Adam's Peak!

We then ventured down South to Galle. If you're an artist, Galle is a dream.

Our last stop was the land of blue oceans, sea creatures and "Ocean Heart," Hikkaduwa.

    

We went snorkeling and the experience was life changing. We swam in deep blue oceans with turtles, fish, coral and all sorts of wonderful creatures. "Ocean Heart" is an ode to this hauntingly beautiful parallel universe that happens to be here on Earth. Where all you can hear is the course of your breathing, and time stands still.

As more chapters open and sadly some close, beauty always remains enduring.

Have a lovely week :)

Water

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. " 
~ Rabindranath Tagore

Here's to love in all its forms. Inspired by flowers, colour, the moon and the sea.

ALSO - Happy Birthday Mr. Cyril Kiran! 

I hope you have a lovely day and a lovely year ahead, and I hope you have everything you wish for. 

Thank you for being such a lovely friend :) Always.

What a weekend - Went exploring with my best friend in the whole world, one of favourite favourite things to do :)

We saw and found the most beautiful things :)

Have a lovely day everyone!

Faded

Sometimes getting caught up in a regular life makes you forget the beauty of what you're doing and why you're doing it.Worrying about money and time is an every day thing occurrence in my life, and then I update my blog and I've realised that the beauty of what really matters has certainly faded away.

                             

                             

Must note, every day - The beauty of art and people.And maybe the beauty of things I don't like very much!

Share.Inspire.

Vocal

Sometimes if it's louder it's better

Return

My interpretation of Lord Krishna

We all worship something or someone.And eventually,maybe,we all return to it.

In my opinion, Krishna's probably one of India's (Hinduism's) most charming Gods.

Who,by the way,came to restore Dharma to the earth in a time of great dharmic imbalance.

So Im almost done with my degree project and college,its all happening very fast.But in a good way,Im settling into doing some regular things - getting a job,working and doing what I love.Of course :)

This year's probably going to be quite different and Im looking forward to it.

And there are the other lovely things in life,the things around you..

Capable

“If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.”

It's true,we're all capable of swimming in the ocean and flying to the clouds.

I've done lots of travelling this month,from Bombay..

To places much closer to home..

The year is just beginning :)
