Blue roses unlike any,
Sway with melancholy on a breezy afternoon,
It’s like the day I met true love,
It’s a beautiful day…
blades of grass as green as summer,
shades of tree as cool as winter,
the spring is finally here,
Fall no more my dear.
Pebbles roll under my feet,
Warmth of the soil soothes my aches,
I feel no pain as I embrace the wondrous valley,
One step, I reunite with my abysmal happiness.

Dear Readers,
It’s been a long hiatus. I have been meaning to post in my blog but my procrastination gets the better of me. I am pleased to announce, I have made one-of-a-kind discovery of the world’s most well kept secret – ‘Somalia(language) is Bihari’
As usual, I would like my readers, all 5 of them, to know I mean no offence to any community. And please don’t kill me over this silly post, I just got married.
Without further adieu, I want to present to you my proof (thanks to google translation & a very boring afternoon). Following are 5 fine examples why Somalia is Bihari.
1. Somalia is bihari – Soomaaliya waa Bihari
First example is the title itself. Now say it like how a Bihari would and read on further.
2. Google is my friend – Google waa saaxiibkay
Now say it, Google waa ‘Sexy’ be!!! Because without google my discovery would mean nothing.
3. Mobile is broken – mobile ah waa la dumiyey
Now say it like, “Mobilaa wala Dummy hain” Only dumb mobile providers can give broken mobiles. Am I right or Am I right?
4. Muffin is a pomeranian – Muffin waa pomeranian ah
Now, that we have established the breed of my pet. Let me tell you something more about her.
5. Muffin is fat – Muffins waa baruurta
She is also fat like a double meat stuffed burrito.
In conclusion, with the above given proof I would like assert my discovery that Somalia(language) is indeed Bihari.
Yours Madly,

“You are confined only by the walls you build yourself” – Andrew Murphy.
In the walk of life, I have met several people who live life full of regrets. They constantly blame the world for their circumstances. When offered a solution, they have multiple layers of justifications so as to why they will never be free. A man trapped by the world is a fighter but a man trapped by his own mind is a prisoner.
The world is filled with rules, regulations and restrictions. It’s tough enough to navigate them, so why build your own jail?

The impact golden ratio made in Architecture has always amazed me. Somewhere along the line, I have come to believe that there is a golden ratio to every aspect in life.

Dear Readers,
Not too long ago I wrote a satirical piece of why one must travel by Mumbai Rickshaws! And guess what?! It got published by ‘City Ninjas’. I love their tagline, “We are in your city, being awesome… Quietly!”

Enjoy & tell me what you think!

I have always seen phones as a burden. To me they were always a parody. On one hand you need the phone to connect to people. On the other had you disconnect from yourself. With the grim chance that I might get sucked into the world of Zombie-phone-walker-sleeper-texter; I took a leap of faith (also because I had no choice).
*Pause*
Sometimes its nice to know you can creatively express yourself whether your stuck in traffic or sitting on a mountain top with just your phone.

The jam I prefer in the morning is usually made of pineapple, sometimes apples or maybe even mixed fruit but never vehicles. Stuck on my usual route to work, devoid of anyother subject, I decided to sketch my unfriendly neighborhood rickshawaala!
Long overdue, I have finally the perfect subject for my daily sketch.
Here, in India it’s the season to celebrate the birth of our very own Lord Ganesha (fondly known in the west as Elephant God).
Every year we bring home his idol, worship him, offer him traditional delicacies. And when its time for him to return to his home in heaven, we bid him goodbye by immersing him in the ocean.
Ganpati Bappa Morya!!!
“I ve always been amused by the view outside my room. Its been over 10 years but this view still awes me.“
“While travelling to office from site, on the local commute, Mumbai’s Local train, I found 3 very different women sharing the same bench.”
It seems to me I have forgotten the beauty that can be observed by sketching scenes, people, buildings right in front of you.
I got a fancy new phone and for some reason I am still disconnected. In between work n the insane travel hours to work, I can’t seem to find the time to sit with my sketchbook. I hate that. So I m going to use my phone to do something smart instead.
I m going sketch something interesting in my everyday life and I hope you enjoy reading the description while you try hard to make out what I ve sketched on my phone.
I dont promise you great sketches but give me some time and I promise you I will master the art of sketching on my phone.
Until then
Yours Madly,
Parimala
