or is that her only dress

random thoughts

oil on canvas

i wanted to bring out the harmony of colours in these random placements of everyday life. just like our thoughts.....they are so much a part of us....so much our own....that we sometimes forget, when they blend with the surrounding, they give a meaning to our life......

aroma of hope

Pastel on paper.

I dreamt of a petal. it fell in a lake of tears.....and was lost in the winds of change. singled out among the crowd, desparate i was.....in my search for the flower,from which it fell. i bled in the thorns of hate, i bathed in the aroma of its scent......when i found the rose i searched.......i saw it bloom with the petals it lost........

uninhabited feelings

Pastel on paper.
I still haven't found the reasons for doing this painting..........

breaking rules

Acrylic on canvas.
I love to think n I think of love.....

vibrant n wild

water colour.I ran along the shores, I tried to catch the sands.....of time.....slipping away. My life was changing in vivid colours......I tried to swim in these waves of emotions......they encircled me in a whirlpool of desires.....I lost a piece of my flesh.......but i found myself.........

crown of my pride

This image was taken from a launch on ganges. I have lived in Calcutta for 5 years. this image is for her........ for the city i adore......for the life it lives......... everyday. In years to come.......my memory will be etched with infinite images......but i can say for sure.......if any of them makes me come alive......it shall be this.......it shall be this.......for this is the crowning of a glory...... called life.

dancing eyes

Pastel on paper. done while i was in college......i danced to a beat of fusion......a fusion of colours, of expressions and of life. in my eyes there was a passion for life........but i was shy......maybe i had something missing......perhaps........these eyes.......

luko-churi

This picture taken in Tinsukia, Assam.......is a reflection of a mirror that i thought had ceased to display my image. In approaching darkness,i still await.......The light still eludes me, it still plays a game of hide n seek among my clouds of reasons.......

young musings

Pastel on paper.
young n restless, i drew it long back. May be I was looking for beauty........ wandering among pictures in a magazine

abstract but real

This picture, taken on the road to deomali, Arunachal Pradesh is an image of solitude which stands out bright n sparkling..........

love n peace

Pastel on yellow paper.
