I am an Artist too

How do you feel when you are the only Indian among a group of Chinese…. And you don’t know the language….. Yes! You feel Lost  Same was the feel when friends around me started sketching and posting their works in CAG while I kept gazing as to whats going on 

They sketched beautifully and would discuss among them the enhancements that could be done… I would simply keep looking quietly (Yes, quietly) like the kid who just flips the newspapers to see photos without knowing the content 

I didn’t know why but somehow I made up my mind that drawing is not my cup of tea… Though I was a Biology student in schooling and had sketched many cockroaches , intestines, etc  Still… I felt “May be I can’t draw anymore” 

But somehow I hated this “I can’t draw” notion in my mind. All of a sudden, yesterday, I took a sheet and decided “Am gonna Draw… Let me try…”.

I took a simple pic and started… I took a pencil (the pencil that was lying untouched in my cupboard), I unearthed an eraser and a sharpner from a bag that I didn’t touch after my schooling  My dad and mom gave me weird looks when they saw me collecting and searching things like in a Treasure hunt  Atlast, I announced ‘Artist at work… Don’t disturb’. The maid at my house dutifully cleaned my table and helped me set the things (an A4 paper, pencil, eraser and sharpner ) 

After an hour of busy sketching….

Meet ‘SQUEEKY’ … The squirrel that was born out of my creation  SQUEEKY is a naughty squirrel who has this mischievous look after getting his nut from somewhere 

No No… Am not gonna bombard CAG with my arts… Wonders happen just once  

I just tried sketching to prove myself that, when tried, anything is possible and I shouldn’t decide that I can’t without trying 

And yeah, most important…. Yipppeeeee! Am an artist too
