Focus on Life 11/52

 My Life : Week 11 : Photo 11


Before beginning, pardon me for staying away from the challenge for the past 2 weeks! Reason? Here.

So, this week Sally Russick's prompt was " The possibilities are endless".  And a photo that reveals what opens our heart to endless possibilities, and fill our hearts with the "Hope" - It doesn't end here.. And "Keep going".

Retrospect.

These are what pumps me back to creativity, every time I feel "There it ends". They, though not alive, has so much 'Life' in them. So much of 'my' life in them. Like-'mess with these and you die'. The ones I hold on to with so much possessiveness like a teenage girl!! Have a look.

My Sketch-books, Idea-books, Note-books!




And they are useless without that 'Broom' of colored pencils / sketches / pens / or whatever with a point or with which I can write / draw!


Just to let you know, these are what I hold with me right now; atleast another 50 is there back in India. But it would be like digging a treasure, when I finally settle in a place on earth, where I belong, and open up that big iron box which my father took back with him when he returned home finishing that episode in his life to serve his Country. The big iron box on the staircase landing in my home back in India, where all those diaries with memories, dreams and poems scribbled, are buried..


Okay now, this is something which makes me see endless possibilities:


A stack of yellowed artist's paper! The older it is the more inspired I feel! :)

And here are some pics I took, some peeks of whats inside some of my books..

This does matter!

I remember, I did this on a boring day at my very first job!! haha! I was a 'Trainee Interior Designer'.

Why not!

One of my Notebook Covers: I love that Indian attire, and that lady in 'thought'!

I guess I was happy on that date!!

Art Burst!

Accept all aspects!

Self motivation!

My daughter - "I" will never end with me! You will understand this better when I say there was a period in my life where I thought I really would end with me. If you can read what I mean..

Possibilities of Faith! (Our 'Elephant God' Lord Ganesha, the way I like to depict. Drawn for a contest for office, during 2008)

Infectious Inspirations!

Stories!

Humble Ideas!

Simple starts!

Temptations!

Instant cheer!


THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!!

PS: I have no idea how to align the photos a bit more orderly! Bear with me please..

Now, lets see what endless possibilities mean, to other Creative folks out there, at The Studio Sublime!
