Another draw - my first nude

Continuing on the trail of sketching, here's another I copied through the day. A nude!
I believe his roots could be some gay comics, but was in my recent instagram feed, which I remembered for inspiration. He was posed well, with a lot of subtle variations in light that had me understanding the pencils better. I couldn't get the face right and urge he ended up looking more like me (just the face, not the physique).
Inspired by such a defined body, I did log lifts in the breaks taken during doing the sketch.
Long road ahead, don't you think?


Stumbled into an old creative moment, ca 2005

Slow surge of conscious

YOU LOVE
to lie
to hide
to deny
to show kinship with the inanimate.

YOU LIKE
to leap
to shout
to shake
to show what you take to break.

YOU PRETEND
to like what you get
to love what you find
to sink in the quicksand of time
to crawl out a creature benign
to hold a goblet of fine wine
to put it against the lips and feel divine
to recall the days when thee were thine.

Her Alchemy

The way she lies,
the way she denies,
its celestially perfect -
like made with the suns.

Her breath that snakes
over my skin,
and settles like a snowflake,
cold and melting -
like a May at Rohtang.

A feeling that hits once
and lingers forever.
A glimmer that shines once
and erases never.
A consecration to the mortals,
a curse to the divine -
once you leave empty
only then you find.

Stoa Naini

I ran into a fellow stoic today, after the actual (literal) run got over. It was around noon (shortly past). Both of us got talking, lingering around the official pavilion looking for our collectibles.
That I call myself a stoic is a new fact from a new discovery, the subject of stoicism - an interest in Chryssipus being the seed into a weekend's segue into some finer elements of existence. What is "existence"? I can't exactly tell, but it could be themed on what a particular breed of people, labeled the "stoics" have conjectured/argued for the past coupla millenia. That I agree to those arguments and subsequent conditioning of the psyche arising thereforth, makes me believe I could be inducted as one. And to give a fresh example, was of the one met earlier today. We got to speak little, but I believe from - my honed powers of introjection - he was a good example. Hope I'm not seeing everyone in the same image as myself.



As a stoic, information dispersal should be more liberal. Initiation ritual complete.

Negative Traits in Self



The diagnosis and prognosis of an epidemic called procrastination. I totally endorse - no entrepreneurial leaps, no creative leaps, no professional normality, and much more. Studies and exg has been on hold since 2008.

Also, here are some phrases defining languor, a word a pal used to describe.
a state of the body or mind caused by exhaustion or disease and characterized by a languid feeling: lassitude
listless indolence; dreaminess
dullness, sluggishness; lack of vigor; stagnation
I totally endorse his opinion, too. Love the word. shithiltaa (stillness, in the sense of सुस्ती) in Hindi comes close.

In the meantime


As a consumer, here is some interesting bits about the world I've consumed in the itinerant new year holidays:


Rubrics and hubris of all sorts, sorry.

Indira's Pearls Contents/Context

Dear,
Hope this gets Between the cracks
since we're already Crossing boundaries 
not realizing that Accidents will happen.
Lay your eyes upon The glowing gasket with which,
you shall be blessed with Indra's necklace 
which you, until now, thought was A delightful fiction.
Using  The language of symmetry,
making you feel the creation of The Schottky dance,
making you imagine Double spirals and Möbius maps.
So, now, get Playing with parameters
and let my mind blow, in Fractal dust and infinite words.

Treble Uttarakhand Cohibas

Sorting has led to uploading

Here's a coupla long single handled shots, now on YT.

Three different locations, all in Uttarakhand
- Gethia, Nainital
- Haldwani, Nainital
- Hardwar, Nainital








Cohibas - because some fancy icon could be sitting on a hill in the backdrop of Nanda Devi, playing them, smoking a nice Cuban cigar.
