Another sketch
Title: Schoolgirl
Labels: drawing
Is there a way to happiness? Who can tell you? A guru? Organized religion? What can they tell you that you do not know yourself? What can they show you if you are not ready to see? How can someone else's way ever be your way? Be a light unto yourself, and you shall see.

presumably coming back from school, and loitering on the way home I guess...
She looks surprisingly complacent here for a barefooted schoolgirl. I would have expected her to hop and skip and juggle small stones or tamarind-pits on her way. The mischievous smile is waster, or else. And, is her left eye closed because she is smiling or for some other reason?
smile is probably because she saw something very new, and yet, so trival that it can only be appreciated during a leisurely amble... may be a squirrel breaking its head over how to crack-open a nut...
I saw this girl on the roads of Bangalore, returning from school, running ahead of her friend..here she stopped to look back for her friend before going around a corner. It was a split-second in the afternoon sun...a magic moment.

What the heck? even word verificaton not enough against bloody spammers??
smarter and smarter by the day... by the way, what bangalore are you talking abt? the one that was in India vanished long ago... the one I am in.. well well... I am not missing "the states" (as they call the USA here) at all.
it's the same bangalore...you're just living in an alternate reality ;) I don't know my way around the city very well...but i can tell you it was near the area called Hanumanthanagar - if i'm not wrong - it has a couple of nice temples and is one of those pockets that reflect the age of a city...
