'If my brother can do it why can't I?' This was exactly what prompted my daughter Masha (Rumana) to do a sketch of the hearthrob of the nation- Hrithik Roshan. 'Kaho Na Pyaar Hai' was just released then.
This is a classic oil painting of Mummy and Daddy, on the day of their wedding. Masha presented it to her Nani Maa on her birthday about five years back. Naturally Mom was thrilled! And till she died, it was hung right in front of her where she could keep an eye on..:-}
This oil painting is one of my favourites. It was done by my daughter as a tribute to a brave young soldier-Capt.Sameer Roy Chowdhury.Unfortunately Sameer was killed at the age of twenty six. His sister Shurobi and Masha did their college together while in Hyderabad. Masha presented this painting to his family.
I'm not sure but I think these three ladies are some models.
I know, I know, some of these ladies look awfully frightening... LOL. For the fashion designers these croquis must be a pretty common sight but people like me will definitely find it very interesting. Croquis is a french word derived from 'croquer' which translated means 'a rough sketch'. To me they look like pretty not-so-rough sketches...:-} And of course, their featureless faces and bow-legged yet stylish looks are a constant source of amazement.
