'In The Pursuit Of Happiness'


Our biggest journey is perhaps to be happy. 
We as individuals would do anything to reach that sense of satisfaction. 
We travel, eat, explore, love and sometimes even create just for this simple reason, happiness gives our existence a basic meaning. 
I love colors, and any opportunity I get with them I cherish it. 
More often than not they give me peace and a sense of existence.
But my true journey begins with not colors but the search of the tales I want to add color to.
So here I was with three match boxes and brilliant pigments to fill them, with anecdotes from my window.
In many languid afternoons I've stared across the grill admiring the courtship rules of the birds around and wondered if ever the odd couples decided to pair up an write a new evolution theory.
And there it was I had a story to depict.



Such tales rarely happen but here's to hoping!
Its the little things that often bring a smile, when we are out in search of the bigger picture.
Make time for small moments.

 Smiles...

'The Extra Little Inches'


In our country we love to express, sometimes we express over a cup of chai , or sometimes we rush to express over a cause! The cause might be varied, it maybe social or just personal, but we always express.
We express in words, screams but mostly in sarcastic smugs as its those reactions that get an easy benefit of doubt.
So I decided to have a conversation over a topi!
In recent days the topi's been quite in news, thanks to the 'Mango People Folks', before that it was Anna, rather its a topi that most often represents the best talker's of town, so I decided to gift myself a topi that in itself will be the talk and not otherwise.
My 5.1 height isnt too good at grabbing enough attention, so I needed a few inches.
 I opted for the humble and iconic topi gifted to me by my lovely friend.
It was an ordinary demure white neta topi, and as sarcastic as he is, his first words were 'You know those are the typical bhajiwala topis?' 
That was it! 
This new year I wanted to gift myself a conversation, the best of its kind,
and the best conversations are the bitchiness we share with our immediate folks as surreptitiously!
That was it!
My own customized topi! 




In all this while the topi made me talk more within me than anything else , it gave me peace and its appearance gifted me a boldness.
Wish you all a very bold and happy new year. 
Smiles..

By the way.. its great to be a little bitchy!
Keep Talking!
