HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

In 2007, on New years eve, I was confused,afraid, disturbed, excited, hysterical, all at the same time. If you haven't experienced it, you don't even want to go there. But it was a phenomenal experience, such that one would love to be in such a fix. 

If one wants something, he should give it a shot and not hold back thinking about the possible consequences. I learnt this during new years last year and I strongly believe in it now because it made me realize that until you don't give it a shot you aren't aware of what you really want and what will make you happy. 

The question that precedes it is "What if??" This argument has always managed to grind my gears just because I would hold myself back. Now I have decided to always give it a shot, this way I get done with this argument and can move on and wouldn't sit back, down the lane, and think, "What if things would have worked out." 

There is one such question that is a splinter in my mind and I am hoping that the New year would disclose the answer to this particular query. 

Happy New Year to everyone. I hope everyone has a blast and that 2009 is unexpectedly better than anticipated. I heard about the New Year celebration issue in Dubai but folks there is loads one can do under such circumstances. Make the best of it as no one is aware of what is kept in store for them. 

Aaite folks cya in 2009, over and out!!  ;)

December 22nd

December 22nd, 2008, last year, was a big day in the lives of the Herekar's. As it was the day when Prarthana Herekar, only daughter to her parents and only sister to her brother, set forth to be a part of the Pachapurkar family, to be know as Prarthana Herekar Pachapurkar.

The wedding took place in Pune because of which I got to vacation to India. As a matter of fact I was visiting India after ten and half years and I had no clue what to expect but like anyone I was hoping for a fun trip. Unexpectedly it turn out to be a trip of a life time, to the extend that at times I feel that I must have been on mescaline and it was a figment of my imagination. This trip is going to be cherish by the Herekar's for life, until something occurs to top it, which is highly unlikely.

The wedding was scheduled during the afternoon because it was considered auspicious as per the priests math. Once we were done with all the rituals, lunch, the whole nine yards we were back to the rented apartment. By the evening, I was all worked up to do something fun and so along with my cousins and friends we went to Gold Adlabs, Pune. We all did have quite some fun played many games, had dinner and also went to the horror house as well.

Eventually, we all ended up going for Taare zameen par. What made the movie hilarious was Jayesh's reaction to certain scenes in the movie. This is one of the movies which I consider as one of my personal favorites, not just because of the fact that it was a good movie but because of the occurrence of a series of blissful events and the movie was a part of it. The kind of events which often leads to the change in ones view point towards life and start pursuing things differently. I actually experienced being on cloud nine. I would love to bring back the time in order to experience a Deja vu and freeze time at that very moment as I would love to live that very moment over and over again.

Piece of Work

Bionic Six, Centurions, M.A.S.K., its a list which is ceaseless. But the ones to top them are TMNT, Tintin, and Transformers. These were the cartoons I would live for as a matter of fact die for. I would watch cartoons day in day out. There wasn't any limit to it. I still do watch loads of cartoons but not to the extend I did at one point of time.

Soon it came to a point where I tried to get these cartoons onto paper and was totally into drawing, painting, sketches, etc. I loved to draw cartoons characters like Mickey Mouse, Turtles, Goofy, and so on. This was a phase, as it just lasted for couple of years. But i still do like the concept of sketching and I did give it a shot some time back. I just drew what ever came to my mind and here is the end result.

Well it's nothing that great, its just some rocks put together and sketched out. I have the rocks shaded taking the light aspect into consideration. Once it was done, I was quite impressed, not because I think I did a good job but because I actually managed to replicate what I had visualized.

This was the very first time and the last time this has ever happened and I doubt I would be able to duplicate what I imagine. Well there is a reason why I have this sketch still with me, there is a lot more to this sketch then just some rocks because there is some kind of logic to it. So far there are couple of people who have seen it, but couldn't make sense out of it. I went into total rapture looking at their reactions.

Now the question that lies in front of you folks is, what is in the sketch? Hint: Very strong liking. Well, I am looking forward to your comments to this particular post.
