My Art Studio

Last couple of weeks I was working over this very special space of mine...My Mini Art Studio
This was in my mind for long time but this time I decided to arrange and keep it working. Please have a look





All shelves are made out from cardboard boxes, which was another fun project to do.
and also saved money for future buying of art material



I painted with an enamel black paint but acrylic colors can also be use 





Here is the utilization 


This is the place where I belong.....though it is small but its a world out there for me

Simply Classical

Indian classical music and dance is one thing which keep me grounded to my amazing motherland...my heart melt like an ice-cream whenever I listen classical music...classical dance flatters me like it is always there in me running through my veins...but I never tried to learn any, though I always wanted to. My heart `owns a huge space of respect for all the Indian classical music and dance masters.....and m fortunate this much that once I have got a chance to meet a famous Indian classical vocalist, the living legend Pandit Jasraj at Puttaparthi in Satya Sai Baba's land, he came there for God'd darshan during shivratri in 2008. When I saw him...the speechless, amazed body of me just rushed to touch his feet. He smiled and said,'stay happy'.




So now when I got plenty of time to paint....I dedicated my time to paint my inner passion and love for classical art over my canvas.....and this was the output.






and here is the short sneek peak of making of this painting



Would love to get comments over this....and thanks for watching

My exercise routine started with 15 min then 20 min then half n hr...now full one hour

Workout followed with meditation and later on a cup of Green tea....ahha aaa...a complete bliss

Falafel Sandwich

Few days back I ate something very very very Yummy!!! I love falafel patty it is amazing in taste, high in protein(coz it is made out of boiled chick peas), easy to make and can be a good breakfast if you make burger or sandwich out of it.....it takes less time to come on your plate.









Ingredients:


Brown Bread




 Boiled Chickpea







Preparation:

Basically Falafel is a deep-fried ball or patty made from ground chickpeas

But here we are simplifying it by not frying it.

1: Take boiled chick peas in a bowl add some chopped onions, salt, red chili, roasted cumin powder(as per your taste)
Now mash the mixture roughly in a bowl

2: Take a bread slice spread some tomato ketchup on it....add a spoonful mixture on a slice, pour some mayonnaise over the mixture cover it with another slice.

3: Place it on grill toaster apply some butter on both side.

Your Falafal sandwich is ready to serve

A Smart Use Of Trunks To Create Extra Sitting Space

Sometimes we have empty space and some not usable items at that time in our house which hinder the organisation of things and space. I have got two trunks which are always stacked in some corner.
I got two conditions...one is empty space and second is not in use trunks, and what I did....





How I did it......step 1: Place the trunks in this way 





 Step 2: Use two single cotton filled mattress, one is placed to cover the front edge and second one is placed in L shape over the first one




Step 3: Now cover the mattress with a single bed-sheet and fancy cushions.

Welcoming a New Year




A brand New Year has begin and the feeling of new can be sense in everything....I pray for everybody have a blessed year.

This year 2015 I will turn 30...another mile stone crossed. The most exciting thing in this is I'm genuinely feeling the change inside me, my mind has grown up.Leaving behind last year's bad experiences but still learned from each and every moment, I have become more mature, and will try to be acceptable in a very nice way, I have always been strict to myself in a very wrong way, this thing has not projected me fully, so will try to open up more and will appear like a rainbow. I'm very impressed with actor Salman Khan and became his true fan not only because of his acting skills but also of his human behavior, yes I love him as a human being.

This fondness for Salman lead me to paint him on canvas...this is my Birthday gift for him and Best New Year wishes for him...


In My living Room
