An abundant 2015!

Time cannot be kept at bay.

On the brink of a good year, I look back and smile.
Year 2015
 has been so eventful
and so very beautiful.
A lot has happened in this year.
I feel more abundant
and
I know the best is yet to arrive!

I thank from the bottom of my heart
 all of you for being a part of my journey.

The madness...
the magic...
the celebrations...
the confusions...
made my heart roar to a level that was truly magnificent!

It has been quite a party!

Once again

thanks from the bottom of my heart for visiting me

and taking time to talk about my work....

Your presence and your words 

mean a lot to me 

and I truly appreciate this!

As I say goodbye to 2015 

and welcome2016.

I have a few affirmations to make to myself.

 I am going to write it...

blog it...publish it...

sketch it ...colour it...

saute it ...try it

create it...

design it...

whatever

just make it!!

All you need is to be swept away!

How many of you love to travel?

Oh me ... I am a neverending case of wanderlust.

 If I am not travelling

 I am reading about places and dreaming to be there! 

Travelling is my second love...

first of course being all things arty!!

My travels inspire me,

 challenge me 

and excite me 

to have more and more 

adventure in my life! 

The world is so big 

and there is so much to explore 

and fall in love with before it gets dark!!

I always travel with my family

 and so it is all the more beautiful and full-filling. 

When we visit a place

 we tend to bring back 

along with us

 a whole lot of pictures and mementoes

 but stories related to the experiences we had...

are the greatest souvenirs of them all!

 So, through my travelogues/ my stories... 

I want my readers to go through the same compelling, 

exciting, exotic, 

surprising or experience that I had undergone!

Have you visited "God's own country" yet ?

Here all you need is to be swept away!!

Do read my travel story at Tripoto !!

I am sure you are going to mark it in your wishlist!! 

Art at Urban Haat

Today I give you

 a glimpse of the funfilled event 

I was a part of.

 Urban Haat in BelapurNavi Mumbai

 is a place blessed 

with natural beauty.

 It is a place where various artists 

and crafts men showcase their art and talent.

An event "Art, Craft and Food festival"

was held recently here and I had my fingers in the paint tubs again!

As an artist 

I was given an opportunity

 to do some live painting

 on a big canvas tied... between two huge beautiful trees.

The event was organised

 by an NGO called Era for Woman 

which encourages women artisans from rural 

areas to come forward, 

show their talent and earn their living. 

Keeping up with the theme 

of women empowerment 

I showcased different facets of a woman

 through my painting. 

If she is as delicate as a lotus...she can also let the world hear her roar if the need be!

And now my favorite part of the whole event.

 I wanted the fun to become more interactive.

And so caught hold of these tiny little cuties to get soaked in my colours!!

You can see how much fun we had!

These kids may be little in their size 

but they were way too smart.

 And look at the messages they have given!!
