A Happenning workplace.. thts mine:)

what else can you expect from a workplace.. as usau,l work is there everywhere.. but my workplace is a happenning workplace.. for sports enthusiasits there were football, badmitton competitions.. for music enthusiasts there was music competetion, prelims of which was conducted 2 weeks back nd today is the finals.. and yesterday there came a renowned singer to enthrall us..
and for art enthusiasts (like me:D) there was painting competition yday:) nd the theme was 'Holi'..I will surely present before you whtever I painted once I get it.. looking at it u were surely ask if all the paintings I'm presenting through this medium r made by me:)I agree with ur doubts guys.. we were provided with crayons, sketches, water colors, poster colors nd what all are needed.. i thought for a change y dont I try with crayons...the image in my mind was to paint two ladies basically rural ladies in northie attire playing holi and add what all I feel like to make the sheet look colorful.. to my disaster crayyons were looking so dull that I totally lost interest.. even before I finished it, my state of mind was to just finish the job at hand..a very bad habit of mine:( instead I could have started it altogether in new sheet nd did the same with other colors or have done sth else.. so after the competition, whoever asked me as which one did I paint.. I said, "amongst all those painting whichever looks like a 1st standard kid's painting is mine:)".. I dont say that I lost because of this.. its because of the huge talent pool over here.. have to agree guys.. people have come with unimaginable but beautiful themes regarding holi... hwever, finally it was total fun n masti..
hve a nice sweet weekend

Journey of Green City towards No-Green City

Since the time I am residing at b'lore I have been hearing locals, environmentalisists, NGOs raising their voices against tree felling. But I think the local govt over here pays no heed to their concerns. Yeah, I agree that development happens at a cost, but there should be some limit for everything. You may say that you will plant a tree to neutralize the cost of killing it. But do you think that just planting a sapling is sufficient. Though I dont have any statistics, I am sure that only 1 out of every 10-20 saplings you plant survive.
In the last week's The Hindu, when I read about an NGOs initiative to call Rudali women to cry and express their sorrow for the trees uprooted in CMH road, I did'nt anticipate the amount of destruction the fellers would have caused to the nature. Its only yesterday, when I happened to visit CMH road I realized it. I could'nt believe my eyes. For a second I was thinking if I am at CMH road or somewhere else?? Almost 70% of those huge number of trees have been cut. The trees which would have taken uncountable number of years to grow; which have been providing shade to googol number of pedestrains without expecting anything in turn must have been cut in minutes time. Looking at it, anyone will empathize at the locals who feel bad that their dear city, 'The Green City' is being converted to 'The No Green city' in the name of development. I feel everyone should raise their voice, contribute their share and give back its status of 'The Green City'; for every individual over here is going to bear the brunt of destroying the nature.

What a week it was

Really!!! what a week it was.. I wonder how I would have spent the whole of this week without
an unrestricted net connection and without Google The Great.. a whole week spent with lots n lots of browsing (most of which poeple may categorise as junk), with breaks in b/n to do the work for which I am being paid for:).. yeah, attimes I used to get intimidated when I see few guys around doing serious stuff.. but then I used to continue with my activity, thinking that there are times when even I worked like them, and there will also be in the future.. but as of now let me use this valuable time.. hwever it is, the end result is really great, I found out an online music store, with a huge repertoire, obviously with the aid of google.
I wish you all a nice, rocking, colorful weekend. And here goes my first oil painting(yet to be varnished). Its long since I put any of my paintings in my blog. Most of my friends said that my oil paintings are more appealing compared to water colors. Its maily because of the sheen of the oil paints. I feel that water colors are more challenging compared to oil colors, for its always easy to repaint a layer in oil colors which is not the case with water colors. And the thing that I did'nt like with oil colors is it takes hell lot of time to get dried up. It really tests my patience, for I cant wait till I see the finished painting.
Regarding oil painting I took lots of fundaes from who else but google before starting, the main fundae is regarding the ratio of oil and thinner to be mixed, because its the deciding factor as how the colors of the painting will turn out to be after few years. It says for every layer the
quantity of thinner should be reduced and that of oil should be increased. But I am still
apprehensive if I am doing it the right way, for after years/decades I dont want my grand children to look at my paintings and say, "ahhh!! was my
grandmother color blind or is this her taste of colors":(... I have done
quiet a few paintings after this, but at hindsight I feel I should do little
more of googling regarding oil paintings. So all your feedbacks,
suggestions, advices are appreciable.

Hve a nice weekend guys n gals:)
