Dreamy bonsai and my colored madhubani

Aaah....it makes me so happy to publish this post. I have been thinking of buying a bonsai tree and adding to my plants collection.

I happened to discover these plants at a place in Jayanagar when I went in search of a special grain. I perfectly got my terracota things with inhome pots and plants collection together! I was dreaming to get pots in small containers after I read few posts of Arch. The place is called 'Blooms Ivy'

You may be wondering why I am not posting any song! I have become so busy that I am not finding enough time to mix them. But will definitely post few new songs in my future posts.

Here is a peek into my bonsai collection.





After I got these two beautiful plants, I got this cutie little money plant as gift.



The lighting was so awesome that I took photo of my colored Madhubani with cute bonsais. It is such a fun right?!



I will be waiting to know what you think about my collection and post. :)

Here is Madhubani

 

This is my new venture into Madhubani painting. Today I am posting the unpainted version of madhubani.

I got inspiration from my new pen which I got from Wynad. This is handcarved and it writes so smooth that Madhubani sketching was made for it.

Here is the full sketch of my first Madhubani design.
Will post the colored version in my next post.

Experiments with the brush

After very busy and hectic schedules, thought let me atleast continue few posts on my blog.

All these days was busy in few programmes, practicing for them and running around to my music classes. So had too many projects running around.After many days of sketching and leaving the canvas empty without paint, thought will try a new art form, Warli painting.

Here is my work with water colors. Initially thought of completing the art with colour pencils. Later gave a finish with the brush, as they were water coloured pencils.

Though the post is off topic, will continue posting more art forms and songs ;)

For a change here I am with a glimpse of dolls of Navarathri at my home this time.

Visited 'Bombe Mane'-mysore. Loved dolls from there. Including the original Howda(Ambaari)version of Mysore dasara in my 'Dasara procession' theme.

Here are few photos of Dasara procession :)You can click on each photo to zoom it.





The other theme photos were like this ;)

Raamanavami wishes

After a very long pause, started blogging again on the auspicious day of 'Sri Raama Navami'.
Today being the birthday of Lord Sri Raama, Sri Raama Seva Mandali , Bangalore celebrates music festival for 40 days. The festival is really a feast for any music lovers. Here is the link for the list of programmes


I remember my childhood days when myself, my sister along with my father used to sit and sing all the songs of Sri Raama. My father used to teach us most of the 'Devara Naamaas' and especially on Saturdays , we all used to sing special songs on Lord Raama.
Today just cannot wait counting hours to attend concert at Fort High school, which has been a dream for many years now. I feel lucky to stay very nearby to the venue.:) Recently started learning few compositions of Bhadrachal Raamadaasu and Annamaachaarya.
Sure to publish these devotional numbers soon.

Happy Sri Raama Navami
Jai SriRam

Jaadu Hain Nashaa Hain...Jism

Just happened to listen to this song recently, sung by Shreya Ghoshal.
I have watched Shreya Ghoshal competing in 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa'. I think one in thousands really have the potential to make it big in music industry. Day by day I am becoming a fan of Shreya Ghoshal.
When I listen to some good numbers, my mind always concentrates on the tune of the song and forgets the lyrics!:(
I have always used my own lyrics in some places to complete the song. I remember my sister always correcting me on lyrics, teasing me.:)
While practicing the song... I forgot the lyrics so many times and had to record it many times:( But here is my try to remember the lyrics and this would be my next challenge!!Really enjoyed singing the song.

Would love to hear your comments:)

Movie: Jism
Music: M M Kreem
Orignially sung by : Shreya Ghoshal

Saranam Bhava

Today thought of posting a devotional song from the movie 'Sethu'. My days used to start with the song during my college days. I have always felt very happy to sing Ilayaraja songs.

The song is composed by Sri Narayana Theertha and musical maestro has given very beautiful 'Kalyani' raagam to the composition in the movie.

After my vacation for four days, here I am with my version of the song.

Do drop in your comments.
