sketches from Ludhiana Dec2010

While some friends shopped Jutties and Phulkari shawls, I made this sketch at Ghantaghar area in Ludhiana... This is possibly the busiest area in Ludhiana, very close to the railway station, full with hustle-bustle and noise levels are beyond explanation through words...

sketches in London - 4

After I made the first sketch at the Heathrow airport, they announced that our flight would be delayed by an hour... So I made another sketch... However, I had no idea that the wait is going to be much longer... an entire day!.. and spending time in that enclosed space(airport and hotel room) really was getting crazy... and couldn't put pen to paper after this sketch...


When this post gets published, I would be on my way to Delhi for an official trip... and I hope the flight leaves on time... Work will also take me to Ludhiana... I hope to do some sketches during this trip than what I did last time... Also plan to get some nice photographs for inspiration for paintings...
