Illustration

Filed under: General — harini @

No I am not going to illustrate something and bore you, by Illustration here i mean the course illustration.
Its may be called the illustration because it illustrates ones feelings, what he thinks and how he wants to present his views to the world.It makes things easier for the people to understand.
Its not very easy according to me, because drawing something and copying something is easy, but to draw something which is in your mind, and that too with the right perspective isnot very easy.But because its not very easy we take it up !!!!!

We(me and sudhar)have been thinking about taking up some course for a long time, but i think things are bound ot happen at the last minute.I remember how i felt when Judy Ellis @ Toy Design FIT asked me to learn illustration before taking up toy design.
I never thought i would learn this,but slowly over a period of time i thought i liked it and wanted to leanr more about, thats even after being keen on learning interior design i couldnt start it.
Yesterday my mom told me that one of my glass paintings with tom and jerry was very good and may be i should think of improving my skills there.
This was enough to motivate Sudhar.More than me he is enthu and excited about it.Well now after going there even i am,but earlier i wasnt able to decide on it, but yesterday around 5.30 we decided about it, and we realised that the class was starting only yesterday.We thought its better to start from the first class than to join in in the second class or to wait for another semester to begin.
WE rushed spoke to someone in the school over the phone registered over the phone , sudhar dropped me at the station as i insisted its better to catch a train to drive.
Luckily i found the place reached got my schedule and attended my first class.
There were other 10 people, most of them are elderly ones, but all have the desire to leanr and to do something, which is most important.I joined in a little late but enjoyed my class thoroughly.
Once he spoke about the colours to be bought, i was in full spirits, as colours always excite me.
Till now i have been drawing and painting looking at something and colourin it accordingly, but this is the first time i am going to be learning something new.When i was young i always wanted to go to drawing class which i never could, probably my dreams are coming true now.
Thanks to Sudharshan to motivate me and stand by me.When he said lets go now, i was not very keen on running then, as i generally dont rush into things, but after 5 mins into the class i was happy he did it, otherwise i would have missed something very good.
And its always better to start things when in mind, before you lose the urge to do it. :)….
Well things seem to be falling in place, i joined the class, my baking class is starting this sunday.I am going to be back in ym beautiful office opposite Empire State… into the NEW YORK CITY.
They called me back, i am happy i made a plce for myself although the work wasnt very hectic, but whatever min i did they were happy about it and want me back ASAP.
That itself is an acheivement on its own :)….

Things seem to be moving at a good pace, another shopping spree lined up …….
At this point only one thing comes to my mind….
ALL ‘S WELL THAT ENDS WELL……

Thanks
bye

Loooong Drive To OHIO…

Filed under: General — harini @

As most of us know it was a memorial day weekend, and in the process of doing something useful this weekend we decided to visit Sudhar;s friends in Akron Ohio.
Ganesh and Nagalakshmi, they have had a baby girl very recently.We have been wanting to go and see them for a long time now,but somehow time didnt permit.
Hari and Sushi joined us on our trip.Trip was wonderful, the long drive has its own charm ,the only thign was that the drive was getting longer and longer.
We decided to start on saturday at about 7 in the morning, and sushi reached here on friday night(The best thing she said was that i have lost a lot of weight and look a little thinner now :)))))!!!), we got into some discussion which went on till 1 in the night, as a result of which we woke up only at 6.30.Hari said he will come early in the morning.Somehow we managed to get ready by 7.30 and started around 7.50 am.
As soon as we started we got hungry and wanted to take a break, we stopped at Dunkin Donuts and had a good coffee and bagels.
Again we started and took many such breaks on our way.
In the highway we saw one accidents and were very upset, the van had toppled and it was lying upside down.We went helped a little and started again.It was easier for us to start from there without getting stuck in the traffic as we were on the very begining and near that accident spot.
Well accidents are very common on these highway here.
I had taken Spaghetti with me for our lunch, we took a break had spaghetti and drove again, this time it was sudhar’s turn to drive.All of us in turns took short naps.
After a really loooooong drive we reached their house to meet a very chweeeet baby.(You can see her in http://vplganesh.blogspot.com/ )
Baby seemed ot adichufy kottam with us, she didnt sleep properly all the time waking up and crying:))….Hope she enjoyed our company and is missing us now ;).
Ganesh , Nagalakshmi and her mother all gave us a warm welcome, and we enjoyed our weekend to the fullest.
Sushi also seemed to have a good time.All of us were mesmirized by the baby Shruti.
That day we played some games went for a walk watched tv and slept only aroun 2am.
I woke up around 5.30 and couldnt sleep again but all others woke around 9.
We had planned to leave on sunday thats the next day, but then ganesh insisted and we also changed our plans and decided to start on monday early morning.
Sunday we went to some parks there had good food after a long time!!! :)
Slept early in the night and started around 7 in the morning thinking that we will reach home around 3.
All the time it was raining and one more accident on the highway.
Somehow we managed to reach home around 5, had a hot cup of tea.
The wonderful happy weekend was over now, and everyone had to get ready for their respective routines.
Hari started after the tea as he wanted to finihs his regular weekend routines and get ready for the office next day and sushi said she will catch the 8.30 pm bus.
We dropped her in the train station and went to get some grocerys.
Watched NBA for sometime and went to bed.
Yet another weekday has started and we wil be able to breathe peacefully only on friday night.
Till then
Bye!!!
