Painting fetish

I have always had this great admiration for paintings. I feel painting may just be an art , but for the painter its a kinda relishment. There are times, I feel ,I can continue staring at the paintings for any longer. There are many types of innovative paitings I have come across -

• Glass painting
• Nail paiting
• Tajavoor paitings, the o ne that comes with intricate turns and twists
• Water painting

There are these modern paiting where you can knit many stories around the paiting.Now let me treat you eyes with my click collection. One most important thing is to know, clicking a picture of paiting is a violation of copyrite and is usually restricted in art galleries and exibhitions.

Friends day out!

Today morning at 9'o clock , I receive a call. It is my girl gang! A spontaneous meet up plan! I said OK for 1'o clock meet at my adda - CKP. And there I was, an hour late, and to my surprise there was the usual late latif Vara yet to arrive. That relieved me of getting blamed for late coming. I was disappointed as there were n many stalls. Weather was gloom and started raining. Had nothing to do but stay indoors and go around the Saree exhibition. Personally I am not a Saree person. Both my friends got busy at each saree stall, touching, sniffing, enquiring and discussing. I meanwhile was busy with a  few calls.

Unexpectedly I ended up buying the Kolapuri leather bag and a cotton silk stole and my friend a Saree. Perfect get out except that the weather did not permit us to wander around. It was noon and time to disperse when Vara took us to a famous chat stop in Loafer's street (That is how it is lovingly called by Carmalites , got this important information from Ex-Carmalite Vara). Unusual Mexican chat, which looked like pizza had been churned and mixed with some boiled Rajma beans. I made a safe choice with a chocolate Truffle pastry!

Now enjoy the pictures!

Lame weekend!

Hi people,
            Last weekend was a very slow one. Weather added more gloom to it. I watched Ice Age 4. Liked it, but not as much as I loved the other parts. I just get more and more crazy over Sid aka FireKing. Apart from the movie, the weekend was quiet a laid back, lazy weekend.
            This time, I got a few pics to share with you guys about my ride to Chitrakala Parishat. Although empty, the place is so serene and tranquilizing, you can just sit there for any long lost in thoughts, just by yourself reading an interesting novel or something.
        

Gujrathi Exibhition

A long day it was! The day had many unexpected turns. Never knew , today I would be visiting Central Bangalore. Rode all the way, picked mom, went to Chitrakala Parishat. When it comes to Sales and exibhitions, Mom is a one stop dictionary for all these. Constantly updated GPS she has. I wonder how! (Now you know, where the shoppping and roaming stincts in me come from) Really!

Chitrakala Parishat is one of my favourite places for all kinds of handicraft exibhitions. This is one thing, I have to tell my readers. When it comes to handicrafts, I am a sucker for it. Totally!

Although not a wide variety of stalls were put up, it was an eyecatching experience. For me, always it is! I just love the innovative pieces of arts, paintings, those creative sculptures made out of sea shells, coconut shells, Jute and what not?

Now let me treat your eyes with all that I saw today.
