the consequences of my cooking

since last year, i have discovered a new found love for cooking. though i don't get to do much of it at home (our kitchen is dominated by my mum and my grandma), i guess i will have some more time to experiment once i get married.
also this is a rather lame way of telling you, dear blog, that i am getting married. to a boy. who is based in Bangalore.But don't worry, bloggy dear, nothing's gonna change between us. I still feel the same way about you.
one more comic i made a long while ago. this is a little more girly than usual.

Beware the cook

in my childhood, me and my friends were great fans of 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' , so much so that we would quote dialogues to each other. After a while it felt as if Ross, Rachel, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, and Chandler were actually our real-life friends.

Isn't there is an episode where Rachel tries to cook a shepherd's pie and ends up mixing up two recipes, so she makes half an english pudding and half a shepherd's pie? I guess this was similar.

Except here, i nearly cooked half a methi moong dal and half an achaari paneer.

Anti social dot com

One of my colleagues was grumbling about having to update his social networks. He actually came up with this idea! So its copy-righted and all that.
Anybody interested in funding this noble venture? ;-)

iPad stories

i got an iPad a few months back, and got all sorts of negativity from iPhone-using-friends.
for the original quote in this comic, refer this article from Wired Product reviews.

also, aww, look my blog's first PG-13 comic. parental discretion advised while reading this blog, from now on :)

livening up the ol' workspace

One of our visual designers was pretty irritated designing pop-overs for a project. He finally turned and said,
"Tumhare pop-overs ka ghada bhar chuka hai" (You have had your fill of pop-overs)
I found it incredibly hilarious and drew this little sketch on his white-board.

Sky comic

I wanted to do a Softer World type comic, but could not come up with a funny or thought provoking line.
But I like sky photos, so will leave you with this.

Also, this comic has been made in Microsoft Powerpoint, and Microsoft Picture Editor.

Weight watchers

I joined a gym again, to take another stab at controlling my weight. I was so regular for about a month, and felt that my clothes fit better and was confident I had lost weight. So, one morning I stepped on the scales.

House for tall people

I am a petite person, who comes from a family of similarly small-stature people. I recently was visiting a friend who is quite tall, and noticed that everything seemed to be outside my reach!

Categorising people

A quick categorisation of people based on their Independence day sentiments.

We all know which category I belong to :)

Fashion Tips from Ramayana

There was this one day we found a discarded earring on the stairs near my office canteen.  And ensued the following conversation.

The style is bit different from how I normally draw.. Easier to render, focuses more on the content. Thoughts?

About Slumdog Millionaire

When Slumdog Millionaire won an Oscar, I had made a comic about how it would affect Indian media. Oh well, none of this has happened...yet.

Watching saris

The wedding season is in full blast, and I have spent the last few weekends attending weddings, receptions, and other shaadi-related thingys. A small comic inspired by a wedding attended with my friend S.

Bet you didn't know all that much about saris either ;-)

rainy day

We had  a sudden shower in November. I arrived at the bus-stop that morning to find this RGB trio.

How I learnt to drive

I have finally got a scanner!! Thanks a million, S.
This one is for you, you know what good driver I am :)

Dot and his problems

What is an existential crisis?

Unfortunately, there is no cure for this..

The horizontal Almari

This was a conversation I had with my cousin and dad. Just a quick doodle.
Possibly non-Hindi speakers may not identify with it!

guy in the mall

I hope he was okay.

cooking

From being someone who could barely prepare Maggi, I have gone to someone who takes active interest in cooking. I actually read recipes with interest, and try them out! Of course I have a really long way to go when it comes to expert cooking, but I won't starve if I have to live alone :)
However at the end of today's blog-post, I have an observation to make. When you enter your mid-twenties, life becomes increasingly complicated. You need to take some life-altering decisions, because you have to live with those decisions well into your old age. The best way, I have come to realize, is to take your time. Take it slow and let the answer come to you. It always works.

Phony wars

I added the last panel because, its my comic, and in my comic, I always win.

Signs

I am a big believer in signs by the universe. But sometimes I am so blinded by my own ideas, that I move my own bullheaded way. Even if the signs are about as subtle as a a big red neon sign flashing in my face.

Oh and I went on a trek recently. Am so out of shape, its been three days and my feet still hurt!

Just trying some stuff with stippling, and blue inks. Of course, you need to view large to read my tiny, ants-walking-in-ink handwriting.
