Is it this...or is it that?

Let me start with why I uploaded this picture... because it is different from all the previous pictures that I have uploaded, in the sense that, in this case, I did not have to work on my skills, did not have to deliberate on how to sketch or paint it, I did not even imagine what I was going to do...I started with the blue ink pen and the drawing grew with the ink. That was like 'wooow' for me :)

So I bought a new notebook the other day. I love new notebooks, the white pages and their smell. I was scanning through the blank pages and someone in my mind said, "wow...beautiful white pages!". And then another voice said, "Why don't you sketch something on it?". The 1st voice replied, "Ya..right. I should sketch something. I will think of something good, then lets see...May be some other time". The 2nd one snapped,"O you will never do anything except planning to do big some other time!" There was silence...The 2nd voice could not bear it. "Start with something!! You do not have to plan always!" And then I started with a line without really thinking what I wanted to do...and the drawing developed as something that is neither completely plants and flowers nor a complete peacock...weird...looked more like a mehndi design to me...Nevertheless, it was good.

This is the story, bit dramatised, isn't it? :P Any way, it was fun to do.
