I started this painting when I was ‘angry’ with Raga and Ekta for the stupidest reason possible-That they did not allow me to walk to our neighborhood S-mart. I wonder if there has been any such occasion in last 7 years that they have known me, when I have been angry. Upset.. yes many times, but I hardly remember myself being angry. So they were making every effort to make amends and I was trying hard to stop myself from bursting into all giggles.
Little did we know that the very next day earth will change its course of rotation…yet again for me!! I was painting a garden as I desperately wanted a lot of colours, brightness and Beautiful bright flowers!! I have always felt that colurs have a therapeutic effect. Whenever I am down, I paint and if you watch closely, every painting can actually tell very clearly the mood I had then.
This painting is a desperate effort to stay cheerful in the time when nothing seemed to be going right.
Dedicated to us:
To Raga,
For growing up to be a brave girl who took decisions in a matter of life and death, from the girl who once could not even decide what she wanted to eat or what to wear the next day. For handling all those unnecessary phone calls with calmness, which did nothing to console her but just added to the trauma. For her sleepless nights without any complaints. For her patience…a virtue I had never seen before. Above all, for her every effort to make my life a little easier.
To Ekta:
For being there silently, for me and Raga and almost anyone who would ask for. For smiling always if I tease her (I accept I do that a lot). For her unusual way of being supportive (I would always remember her quest for DDLJ CD, just for me). For her endless effort to help me choose fun for myself, rather than sacrificing everything to see ‘someone’ happy. Above all for knowing it for a fact that I am human too with my own flaws.
To Me:
For not breaking down when my world was falling apart.
Cheers to us for finding some colours in a time of sorrow…to our 7 years of togetherness of fun, laughter, fights and Growing Up!!!
:) Well i love all ur paintings and sketches and i guess whatever u do except few things. This is probably one of my favorite painting among all. And thanks for dedication, i dont have much to say, but if i am brave, strong and calm because of u and ekta, because of ur support, care. “A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself “. You guys have always hold me whenever I was about to fall. You guys don’t knw how lucky I feel to have u both as my friends who are really crazy like hell, funny and of course lovable. I have learnt lots from u. Tons of Thanks to you guys, u have seen the best and worst part of my life. So many little things have made me angry, frustrated and sometimes blank but u guys made me cool and calm. My all tensions are in the air now.
ReplyDeleteAnd keep painting Darling, your paintings are at least 100000 times better than those which I have seen in Doctors room in Manipal Hospital and many of other places. And I love your paintings. Don’t be so so original kabhi kabhi exact copy kar liya karo. M waiting for my “Fulwari” with lots of beautiful colors.
And for ekta, I love the way she is, always mast and bindas. She is a true sweetheart who never cares for anyone and lives the life on her own way. Thanks a lot for your endless support, for ur smiling face, ur fun even in difficult time, thanks for ur precious friendship guys.
