17th October 2023 Kala   I read this quote the other day and it made me think about the fear most people have of being alone. Especially as we grow older, our desire for community comes to the forefront. I find it amusing that as a young person, I just wanted to get,  away from…

17th October 2023 Tia & Beena   Hello everyone. I have posted a poem by Tia where she drew herself in the rain. Tia is the youngest contributor to our website. I am delighted to publish her poetry.   What caught my eye was the fact that, at her young age, she knew how to…

17th October Mr Mani Menon   Navratri greetings from me. It is an annual festival celebrated by Hindus for a period of 10 days. Though theoretically, there are four seasonal Navratri festivals, only the post-monsoon autumnal one is celebrated. The central theme is about the victory of good over evil. Let us hope for peace…

14th October 2023 Beena   Hello everyone. I like to begin with a quote from John Stuart Mill, who said in 1867, ” Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends than that good men should look on and do nothing.”   It has been challenging for me to write about anything. I always…

She has demonstrated the transparency of the onion skin remarkably well.   There are many varieties of onions with varying tastes and uses. I love onions and…

Hello everyone, I am posting “The Heliconia”, painted by Angela using poster colours. I love the vibrant colours that she used for this beautiful plant. She must have layered the colours multiple times to get those vibrant colours😂. I find poster colours challenging as blending is not as easy as watercolour. This one is the…

24th September 2023 Mr. Nandakumar I painted Kovalam Beach in Trivandrum using acrylic paint. Kovalam Beach became famous for tourists in 1930. Since then, we have seen tourists flocking to this beautiful piece of paradise every year.   The beach is situated on the Arabian Sea and is ideal for swimming, surfing, parasailing or sunbathing….

24th September 2023 Mr.Mani and Beena   Hi guys. Another masterpiece by Mr. Mani Menon. I loved this one as it reminded me of Princess Diana’s Black Sheep jumper created by the company Warm and Wonderful. She wore that jumper soon after her engagement to convey that she was the odd one in the family😎😎….
