The Couple Outside The Door

What time is it? I can't figure out. Day or it's dark already? It doesn't look very bright. I faintly remember there was a party on the terrace of our building. I don't remember what I did there. I don't even like going to parties. But, if I remember about the party, it means I was there.

And who is this woman inside my house? Standing in front of me. I do not recognize her but it seems that she wants to say something. Right then, a sharp conversation attra...

Watercolor Paintings: Different Landscapes

Hello,
Watercolour painting seems like an addiction. I painted almost daily in the last two-three weeks. Can't share all the paintings {some of them are bad}, so sharing what I like. Hope you like them too.

This snowy and waterfall landscapes are inspired by Ekaterina Smirnova's YouTube painting tutorial. She is a great teacher. I was satisfied with the first one, but I was not really happy with the second one. Initially, it didn't look like a waterfall. So, I put...

5 Much Loved Books I Did Not Finish {in 2018}

Last year, I wrote about the  Best Books I Read in 2017 . I was hoping to write another 'best books' post but last year, as a reader, was not very good even though I read some 46-47 books. I read some good books {Wrote about it actually. You can read my guest post 'Top 5 Reads By Women Authors' on Shalini's blog}, but there are so many well-loved books I could not finish, and it bothered me.

I really enjoy reading reviews, on goodreads especially. I read several reviews before buying a book...

Watercolour Painting: Trying Different Things

I am a beginner --a self-taught watercolourist. I'm trying to practice and learn different things, however I always fear that I'll ruin my painting if I try to experiment. If you are a beginner, in any field, you can relate ---we want good results always, right?

This year, I decided to fight my fear of going wrong. Ruined 4-5 paintings, yes. But learned and managed okayish paintings.


I am not confident enough to paint on big sized paper. I usually paint on A5 size and even A4 seems big to me. B...

Book Review: The long way home by Mitali Meelan

'It's not what you see in a person, it's what you feel when they're around. Sometimes, a person is your umbrella, shielding you from the pelting of a rainstorm. Sometimes, the person is the rainstorm.'

From the book.


The long way home by Mitali Meelan  is a family drama. It's about Adhikari family ---Ishaan, Arihant, a little demanding cute little sister Saloni and their mother, however, the story mainly revolves around the brothers Ishaan and Arihant. They all try, rather pretend to be a h...

बस यूं ही...

सूनी सी दोपहरहवाओं में कुछ हरारत जरा सी सरसराहट सेपननों का पलट जाना,और दरखतों से छनकर आती मख़मली धूप।और, बस यूं हींंचली आती हैंतुमहारी यादों की गरमाहट।यादों का कया है,कहीं से भी आ जाती हैं।और तुमहारी यादें...जाती ही कहां हैं,बस यहीं फिरती हैं,इनहीं छोटी छोटी बातों के इरद गिरद।

Hello Winter! : Watercolor Paintings

Have you ever been to a snowy place? I haven't. To be very frank, I have never seen a snowfall! So, I find them fascinating, however I am already annoyed by the Delhi winter. Every morning and night I sing ---'Winter, winter, go away! :)

Today, I am sharing some winter/snowy landscapes that I painted recently. This is my first attempt at painting snowy landscapes and using masking fluid. Using masking fluid is tricky and I need to practice to use it more comfortably.



When it's winter, what do y...

Book Review: The Diary on the Fifth Floor by Raisha Lalwani

'It was a short  questionnaire  -- contact information, primarily---but  the first question already made me pause.  I  had to be careful, or the whole thing would fall apart.

Name -- the question seemed to mock me.'

Isn't it intriguing?

Sharing a few lines from the blurb as it intrigued me.


'A woman leaves her infant at home but finds her on a busy street in an unexpected turn of events.
Another woman wakes up in a flight hours later, befuddled, in the strangest circumstan...

Six Months As A Watercolourist

I painted this last night {for an art challenge}. And, I am kind of happy with this painting, with my effort.
Honestly, it was some 5+ years {in 2013} ago when I, suddenly, got interested in watercolour painting. Beautiful paintings fascinated me. So I bought some art supplies and started to paint. Strangely, I never painted or even wanted to paint in my school or college days. I was {still am} terrible at sketching so never ever thought I could.
So, I painted but after some 7-8 paintings, I st...
