Yelagiri Trip

This is in continuation to my previous post. Some more snaps showing the park. The household sparrow a rare sight in the city (slowly becoming extinct due to the changing style in the buildings, from old terraced house to apartments).

Another coincidence, the school children in the picture were from a school near our home. They had come on a one day excursion to Yelagiri.

Our recent trip to Yelagiri Hills

About a month back we made a trip to Yelagiri hills. Quite a scenic spot. Nature still survives the human influence. The tourist inflow is much less when compared to Ooty or Kodai . We took the Brindavan Express, got down at Jolarpet junction and took a taxi to the resort at the Yelagiri Hills. You can take a taxi at a cost of Rs.400-600. Nice place to visit.

a tribute to Bill Watterson

I've recently started sketching calvin and hobbes...
Here's one..



This is from the cover of the collection titled "The Days are just packed"
This sketch is a tribute to Bill Watterson who had the great gift of looking at the world through a child's eyes and casting sarcasms at the then current affairs... he also captures many routine activities like school, assignments and competition. But in the end, his main emphasis i believe is the limitless aspects of a child's imagination...

My dad is a Kingmaker

The craftsmen from Rajasthan who have settled in roadside settlements on the Tharamani Road at Palavakkam, make various dolls and crafts from clay and papier-mache. Their recent addition are totems of kings and queens made from the trunks of coconut trees. These can add an earthly element anywhere from your garden to your study room. When i went there, one of the craftsmen's child happily struck a pose with the new arrivals.

The 20-20 fever. Shane Warne or Murali, here comes the new spinner.

On the way to Chengleput, a right turn, you reach two hill temples one dedicated to Lord Siva and the other to Lord Vishnu. This majestic idol of Lord Hanuman welcomes you to show the way to these hill temples.
