Yo ho it's Christmas time

Santa's on his way to give us our Christmas gifts but I thought before Santa could come riding with his reindeer's let me gift my readers with a new post. So grab some cookies and a drink because today is going to be a special day. 

• Suddenly an alien picture stuck in my head and I doodled the below illustration please let me know your ideas and comments below.

• Well since I have reached outer space I thought let's go one step further and plant a tree on the red planet soil. But jokes apart I saw this trick more of a hack for eggshells, instead of throwing them away I thought let's give this idea some wings and give it a try. 

So you will need the following things and rest let mother nature take care of things:

Some eggshells and seeds which grows fast like wheat grains (they grow fast into a grass) or anything else available at your home. Make sure to soak the seeds for at least a day in a glass of water.

Next step fill it with mud and I decided to go more artistic and draw some artwork on eggshells using markers(soft tip) and yes they work the best since rest other options break the egg shells and if you are in my shoes you will get your mom's scoldings for using another egg.

Something like this but you can go wild with your imagination and come with millions of better artwork than mine since I find them weird.

But finally after a lot of patience and battling it out with rats which infested my home on getting the smell of the eggs I got the fruit of seed germinating in the morning after a week. The birth of a new life.....Oh sorry, am I getting more poetic. Let's see how much it lasts.

Heaven is in hard work, I found these skilled people who were constructing the roof for a pathway sleeping underneath it, well if you closely observe one person is using a brick as a pillow more precisely the guy sitting close to the camera.

•   It's traveling time and I took time off to just trek around the cement jungle and click some beautiful snaps which felt close to heart. 

Well, the other person you notice happens to be my alien brother from a planet called engineers.

If you look closely I was going after the crab inside the water.

I would like to name this guy Mr. crustacean.

Moving towards the urban side from here on..

Well I am really happy since I was fortunate enough to notice this moment and then it's just 

-"say cheese" 

The pic below I took it at my home and it was like heavens gate opening up.

• Now the finishing touch for today's blog a simple illustration which I tried to do.

Keep dreaming and let the creativity bug in your head shout out loud. So until next time.

I am in Love with clouds!

  Clouds seem to be like the most common things in our day to day life but if you try to take time from your hectic daily schedule and take a moment or two to look up, that's it your mind will be refreshed looking at the different cloud shapes, colors, thickness etc. Well for me it worked very well and I have started rolling up my lenses on these clouds as and when the right moment occurs. 

  As you go through my today's post you will come across an illustration which I did, inspired by the memories of my childhood friends. So sit back grab a cup of coffee and ENJOY THE RIDE! 

• Heaven's gate opening up: I was fortunate enough to capture this moment in the evening time around 5pm in Navi-Mumbai.

• Coming back to Mumbai:

• I came across a beautiful jeep during my pursuit for the clouds, so I approached its owner and he was kind enough to let me snap his monstrous awesome jeep.

That's it for the day, thank you for visiting my blog, Please do "COMMENT" and "SHARE" my blog
