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 

What To Do With Ripe Bananas

Summer is here and there is an expected rise in a temperature in our city Visakhapatnam due to cyclone hit last year in October.

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

Few words and my life style pic wenesday

It is said that all days are not same...so true but I always try to complete my day. As per my new year resolution I went mad over my health and begin to do workout daily, every morning one hour dedicated to gain fit body and fresh mind...this makes my day complete. 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

If you don't sweat a day then you won't have a good day!

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.
