A serious one

'Srimad Bhagwad Gita' is one of my favorite books. I was reading it lately and a thought crossed my mind that the terrorists who like to be called as 'jehadis' must be teaching the same things to their pupils. Sri Krishna kept telling Arjun to stand and fight throughout the tome. Arjun being a great warrior killed millions in that war. I wonder, if my favorite book can brain-wash some innocent child, into being a terrorist or like that. Then I reckon that, besides telling his friend to fight, the Lord also told Arjun to stand for the righteous, he also told him the deep secrets of life, the ultimate truths of soul and a lot more which only a person with the true wisdom can tell. So I conclude that 'Srimad Bhagwad Gita' is the book of an ultimate source of knowledge, now it depends on the person how he/she wants to take it. If you get brainwashed by reading a granth like this or Holy Quran or Bible then, it is you who is to be blamed or the person who taught you this. Sorry for being so serious. Next time I'll try to be more funny... more like... 'me'
One Life... Why so serious? Enjoy!


This time I am posting my version of 'Arjun'. Anatomically, this sketch is NOT as good, but I felt good when I drew it... that was a long time ago.

So you got time to remember me?

Have you ever faced this situation? I am sure you must have? OK. So I called one of my friends after a long time and instead of telling me that how she was or asking me how I was, she started cursing me. "So you got time to remember me? Haan Haan humein toh yaad hi nahi karta... hum toh dost hi nahi hain tere? [Ya Ya you don't remember me... I am not friend of yours]. We talked for about 5 minutes and all she did was to make me feel that I have done a terrible mistake by calling her. I don't understand why people do so. Instead of spending the time in asking about the person, these people waste their own and other person's time in lamenting about the past. I have one relative of mine [I won't name her]. She and her daughter are dexterous in this thing. I hardly have a chance to talk to them on phone. And believe my word, I am thankful to lord that I don't talk to them much. But whenever you call them, they'll start with all this bullshit and they can give you loads of it. Whether you talk for 1 minute or 1 hour, you have to pass through this mental torture each and every time. Through out the call they'll complain you about how irresponsible or heartless person you are. Or how much they have missed you. Or why you haven't called. But tell me, if they have missed me so very much then why haven't THEY called. I guess people do this, because they don't want the other person to start this. Because whoever starts first holds the upper hand. The game goes like this I guess. I hate this. This way people don't show that they care a lot, instead they waste the little time they could have spent asking for the wellness.


For quite some time, I was busy with the designing stuff and haven't got much time to draw. So this time, instead of any sketch, I am pasting some of the designs which got boxed down. These are in the trash-bin now and I am banging my head on my MacBook to churn out some new layouts. For a father, each of his children is equal, similarly for a creator, each of his creation is a master-piece. I don't expect you to like these pieces out of my carton... but your comments or critics are most welcome :) Have Fun!

India in 1835 and now in saggi jeans

Once more I encountered this piece of article... "India in 1835". I am proud that my India was having such a great culture. I was also reading an article in the newspaper which was related to 'saggy jeans' [Saggi jeans are the jeans which are even lower than the low-waist-jeans, so in a way they show most of your 'behind']. USA is going to ban those kind of jeans in their country. I hear it a lot that we Indians are following Americans all the time. We follow them in each and every kind of deed. They say the new generation is very much influenced by the western culture. Well I ask all my fellow Indians who is to be blamed? the new generation? Get Out!!! It's not the new kids who are to be blamed it's our ancestors. Our fathers, grandfathers, grand-grandfathers and forefathers, because they were the people who first fell for the western influence. If they were NOT influenced by the western culture back in the history, then our country would still have been a country rich of it's own culture. We have always been influenced by the western cultures since ages; so why blame new generations. The new generation is just following the legacy 'to follow the foreigners' which they have got in heritage. And I must say that they are following their forefathers very very honestly.
But as they say,"An old man gives good advice in order to console himself for no longer being able to set a bad example." That's exactly what our old men are doing. They are cursing the new-generation, because they want to hide their own mistake of following the foreigners. If you say this is not true, then I ask you that why was I fined in the school for NOT speaking in English. I was punished because my past generation believes that anything which is foreign is good. Our parents or the people of their ages or beyond have always made us believe, that whatever is imported is more worthy. We are just following our parents like good kids. That's our culture.

A bumpy ride on the edge

One more Monday... Normally it's impossible to enter a blog entry on a Monday, as Mondays are the busiest of the days, but somehow I have got time today. I wanted to say 'Luckily I got time...', but the thing is that, in these days of recession having free time in office is a quite dangerous thing. If you are blogging and that too from the office then that means your job is definitely in jeopardy. But then, this is life in a cartoon's way... 'A Bumpy Ride On The Edge'. A number of confusions, needs and compromises are going on but again this is life and I guess these 'things' are never going to seize, they will keep on coming, with different looks and different sizes.

What would you do, if you have got a complex mathematical equation to solve and you don't know the exact formula to solve it?
Option A: Keep on doing hit and trail to create your own formula
Option B: Look towards your nearby sheet for help
Option C: Leave the question and go out to have some air
Option D: Leave the question and start whining (or crying)

This question has nothing to do with Mathematics. This is a question which life presents us with everyday, ever moment. None of the options above is wrong, it's just that, whatever option we choose, defines our nature, our behavior, our ideas about living, or our... Attitude. Try to keep it positive. Have Luck!


The item which I have brought out of my carton today is again 'Hanuman' ji in some angry mood. I like drawing Bajrangbali because, He gives me too many options to explore. You can draw a great physique, can play with the hairs, can put some comic-put with the tail, you don't have to care much about face and above all, you get the blessings of the Lord. So go ahead and try it youself... Jai Bajrangbali :)

Cartoon was busy lately

It's been quite a while since I have added any entry to my blog... A lot happened during this period which kept me busy. My bro got hit [no.. no.. he's not a celebrity]. He just met an accident on 20th last month. I know he is a rash driver, but cursing him is not going to do any good to him or us. So lets cut the crap, he is now on bed with two screws in his left leg. Recovering fast... he's the man!
I also went to Salasar, Rajasthan to pay my obeisances to 'balaji' and had my head shaved too ;) [don't give me a look like I have put shit on my head].
Recession has affected the whole world. Sometimes I doubt that, is there really some slump going on or is it some kind of strategy which our so called 'bosses' have invented to fill in their pockets instead ot ours? Anyways this tragedy hit some of my chimps too :( There was a lots of politics, conspiracies, gossips, bitching and back-biting while all this laying off was going on and I was sincerly involved in all that. Ha! These all things have kept me busy lately.


I drew this while traveling to Salasar. I figured out that it's difficult to draw in a moving car. I 'll never try that again :P This time scanner didn't work as it used to and I used a different image editing software to clear the image. In conclusion, I messed this image up... but I wanted to share it, so enjoy and shoot me with your critics :) Jai Bajrang bali! God Bless you All!

Cartoon trying hands on caricature

Caricature (pronounced as CARE-ick-ture) is a portrait that exaggerates or distorts the essence of a person or thing to create an easily identifiable visual likeness, or in literature, a description of a person using exaggeration of some characteristics and oversimplification of others.
Recently I bumped into this cool website which was full of caricatures. I'm still drooling over it. I have always been a fan of cartoonists or specifically caricaturists since my childhood. I remember names like Shekhar Gurera, SaranDeep, Lata, R K Laxman, Ninan and many more which I have seen and waited for on the Newspapers and Magazines. I have loved their creations and was always impressed. So now I myself tried my hands on this form of art. Do tell me should I try more or do I really suck on this.


The subject which I have taken into account is my Sys-Ops guy. There is a word famous about him in our office. Whenever Sanjeev is on your seat, your machine is really in 'Danger' Ha! There is a very funny line related to Windows. "If the problem is small... Restart, and if it is big... Reinstall". I guess Sanjeev follows this too well ;) no offence.

I know love hurts... so what?

Once more, the same ol' topic of times...Love hurts... it hurts like anything... It gives you all the pain in the world, but then it's the fastest healer too. Ya! ya! I know time is the greatest healer... that's why I said 'fastest' not the greatest you dumbhead!. When I look around I find everybody in this pain. Everybody is hurt for the love of something or somebody. Vaibhav is ready to kill for it[not in the literal sense], Madhu is waiting for it, Manveen has lost it[or found it? nevermind!] and even the macho-man Harry is sad due to this; It's all love. These all chimps sit and pretend to work in the same office in which I am. If you know that you have got your love [and I am NOT talking about your girlfriend/boyfriend only] at your side, then nothing can stop you from being happy. But does it last forever? I doubt that. But you know, we 'humans' are a bunch of hypocritical animals. Whenever love hurts us, we try to find it in some other things, in a way we all change our so called 'love' time to time, day by day, but then nobody can love something for ever. If it were true then I still would have been loving my 'toy-horse' which my Masiji [My Ma's sister] gifted me when I was three. 'Love' changes, we do it, to overcome the pain begetted by the last 'love' of ours.
So guys if you think you are in real pain, then tell yourself, that it's time for a change. Start loving my blog [and post some 10 comments everyday] OTHERWISE do what I did, Go get it!



This time I am posting a religious kind of item. I drew this on the special suggestion of Vinay Thakur [another chimp!] when we were in the first year of B.Tech. I am posting 'Vishnu ji' this time because I really want him to bestow his blessings on you, so that you all can have the courage to claim your love or to start loving my blog. It's now your call!

Jai Ho!

This is the time when India is enjoying (and few are cursing) the fact that 'Slumdog Millionaire' has won 8 Oscars. I am really proud and happy for A. R. Rehman. I have always adored his music. He must be enjoying the winning of two oscars and my roommate Narin is enjoying his engagement ;) Yeah! Yeah! he got engaged. This happened on Saturday. While I was watching DevD and fantasizing, he was actually talking to 'his girl for life'. He seemed happy when he talked to me, but like any other guy, he was afraid as his days of freedom are going to be over soon. With such a large circle of friends as he has got... this is really an issue for consideration, but life is a set of changes. 'We have been roommates for about eight years, now it's going to change', I told him. He said, 'It will take at least an year and maybe, by then you'll be married too. We'll continue to go for family tours.' Ha! we all keep on planning, through out our lives. Even when we die, a millions of plans remain unattended in our minds. So many plans and so many failures. So much pain. In short, throughout our lives we plan to get hurt.
Cartoons don't plan, they go with the wind. They are just a window to whatever has happened or is happening around, with no future and... no plan.

The College Library is best place to see the blooming of half of the college love affairs. You doubt that? Remember your college library or go to your college library [if you are still student], you'll find the topper of your class touching the guy besides her carelessly, at places and vice-versa ;)

Emotional Atyachaar

I saw 'Dev D' last Saturday. The movie was all about 'I am slut'. I liked the movie. I liked the way the real nature of the boy-girl relationships was displayed in the movie. Paro was 'hot'. I loved it when she said, 'Mein pagal ho rahi hoon' on phone. First on phone, then in Dev's room, then near the gusalkhana, then the boldest and [the best ;)] scene 'ganne ke khet mein' [sugarcane fields], it was all about S. E. X. and I was sitting in the middle of two girls. lucky me! I am still confused whether she (Paro) had really done 'it' with her 'naukar' [Sunil] or not. Then there was Chanda. A sweet but spoiled child. A divine prostitute, sex worker, escort or like she said randi . I liked her role. And 'Dev'... phew! he was the biggest of the sluts, who screwed himself. I also liked the way the story writer has changed the ending from that of the conventional 'Devdas' [Don't ask me how... go watch movie]. Moral of the story: Indian Cinema is getting bolder and we have started talking about sex as another activity Ha! strange. [I wonder what my parents have to say about it ;) :P]
I also read ‘Of course I love you!... till I find someone better’. Once someone told me to read ‘P.S. I love you’ but I know that would be painful for me, so I ended up reading a book with almost the same name. Kiddin! ;) I just got this book from Manveen accidentally. For the first 100 pages the book was awful. I was cursing myself, why I started reading this. The book was full of mindless affairs, girls, kisses and sex, but then a breakup happened in the middle of the book and the other half of the book suddenly became awesome. The main character of the book was in agony, real agony. I sometimes think that its always other people’s agony which gives us pleasure. More the other person is in pain, more happy we are. Or may be the Newton’s law of energy applies to happiness also. ‘The happiness is constant. It can never be created nor be destroyed; It can only be transferred from one person to another or transformed from one form to another. Whatever, but I believe that you can spread happiness even in the most painful days of yours. Like ‘Deb’ in the book did for ‘Amit’ and ‘Astha’ [I liked that part a lot] or like I am doing by showing you this:


This item which I have posted today, reminds me of the days (rather nights) which we have spent copy > pasting the assignments and completing just a lecture before or sometimes after the due dates. Most of the engineers are dextrous in this at least ;)

Exams were fun... like movies are

Yesterday I saw two movies... 'Seven Pounds' and 'Momento'. Both the movies have one thing in common... 'dead wife'. One more thing was common... 'Awesome presentation'. It has always fascinated me, the way directors (or editors) play with the time quotient in such kind of movies. 'Will Smith' is really great actor. It's not like that I haven't liked his acting skills in 'MIB' or 'Independence Day', but the movie which made him much better actor in my eyes was 'Hitch'. It seems to me that I watch too many movies. Day before yesterday, I was watching 'Something gotta get' starring 'Jack Nicholas'. That movie was really lovely.

The item posted above is another tribute to the Examinations. I have always loved exams as they have always given me a feeling that I am cool. ;)
