YO GANDHI's! Let's Rock! :)

Cousins @ home

Coffee's not always with Karan :)

Every year, Sid and I head for a new adventure on our anniversary. Last year it was a trek to the Himalayas. This year, it was the sea. We decided to go snorkelling in Langkawi this time! 

It was the most awesome day ever! Have you heard of anyone who swims with sharks on their anniversary? That's us! 

Daily prayer sessions in #Malaysia!

Madikeri and its long winding roads!

Amma Appa come home #TheBlackBoardSeries5

Shekhar mama and Vijaya mami's visit! #TheBlackboardSeries4

Mama- mami were travelling by train and were arriving at K.R.Puram station at 4.00 am. Our alarms didn't ring and we were fast asleep while they were waiting at the station, until we finally jumped out of bed, hopped into the car and drove in the cold, wintery night, err... morning!

Monsters Inc.

Sister-time is the time to go crazy! Leave the brain in the bank- types.
It's all about giggles, PJs, lots of singing, dancing, yapping and random acts of madness.
We are like monsters let loose when we are together and that's what this doodle is about!
L to R: Sid, Mansi, Urmi, Jin.

Home alone with paint!

Leave me alone for an hour at home and wonder what I would do! Paint everything around me. I love colour. They just seem to cheer me up, not matter what! On impluse, I painted all the plant pots I had in my house and turned them into spotted, striped and polka- dotted. Then I painted some milk ladles and used them as plant holders! (Check my previous post). And if I haven't had enough, I just pull out my set of colour pens and start doodling on any piece of paper, book corner or tissue paper that's in sight!

 Thank God! I haven't set my eyes on the walls. Sid might come home one day and find himself wondering if he's in the right house!

Pudhe sarka!

Sid and I were travelling to Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary in Karnatka over the long weekend. We had booked a tent at Anshi Nature Camp, which according to the internet, was not very far away. Ah! So sadly mistaken.

I sketched this doodle after our epic bus ride from the train station to Anshi Nature Camp in Dandeli, Karnataka. Since the big buses that go to Anshi had already left, we were advised by the conductors to hop onto one of the small local mini-bus. This mini-bus was called R.K. TRAVELS and the owner had taken a lot of pains to make it look horribly bling in every way that he could. There were Hollywood studded stars, which adorned the bus from the outside, and akhada (gym) advertisements, hand painted contact numbers and empty first aid kits which adorned it from the inside.

Two innocent un-suspecting souls (that's us) with our green backpack and camera bags, settled on the last sunken seats of the bus, only to realize we were travelling cattle class for more than three hours in a mini van which had more people than a local train compartment. The bus driver was stopping and stuffing more locals, pushing them and shouting 'sarkaaa' sarkaaa' (push) who didn't seem to mind and were having normal conversations about the weather. Not to mention the horrible music playing in the bus!

Initially it felt amusing and a little adventurous, since we had never travelled like this before, but after a while, we just wanted to get off the damn bus and breathe some air. There was no way of getting out of the bus. There was a big human wall in front of us, which was impossible to break. Neither of us have a clue as to how we got down, but when we did, we took fresh gulps of oxygen, stared at each other, skook our heads in amazement and laughed our hearts out!

R.K. Travels is a lifetime memory!
