To Delhi...!

Delhi Metro sketch

It was a pleasant evening I reached down in Delhi. I don't remember the date , in the year of 2010 .
I have reached to my friend's room Narayana by the evening 8'o clock.

Friend received me and I was tired like hell. I slept the whole night. He arranged me some city tour for me.

The next morning I woke up a bit late and I missed the tour..! 
I thought a free walk would be better than a packaged trip..


 I choose Agra first and took a ticket to Agra.
The might Taj Mahal was the only destination for me and that was enough to complete my trip..!

Hobbit Hunt

I have seen the contest named "The Character" . And I have started to search what is this hobbit actually..!!
Of course I have watched the movie "The Hobbit" but still I was curious about to learn the things..
From the first day I could not get even a single clue..

And finally , I found something in Wikipedia..!! 
They are smaller than dwarfs.. With hairy legs, great courageous but shy.. They adept slings and throwing stones ( Copied from Wiki ).

I went to find out one hobbit so that I can sketch him for the contest..
The journey was amazing. I read hobbits are living in caves. So I tried to explore the caves. Suddenly I fell down to some darkness and there I found a blue Dinosaur. 
He doesn't have any hairy leg.. He is not shy.. But I knew that he is very courageous..
I asked him : "Are you a HOBBIT..?? "
He said:  "ha ha man this way.. You will find them out.. I am not the one..!!"
Okay, I was happy like anything. That way takes me to a greenish forest. 
Yeah, it is the place I have seen the Hobbits in the movie.
Suddenly I heard a cry from my feet..!
"Who's that..??"
" It's me dude.. Look down....!!"
A small giraffe is showing his leg. He was angry like anything.. 
I asked :" Bhai you know HOBBITS..?"
He calmed down and said.. " Yes.. I am a Hobbit..!!"
"Thanks buddy.. It's very much pleased to meet you..!!"
He is like : " hmm whatever.. What's your intention..?? Why you are searching HOBBITS..??"
I was like : " Actually I wanted sketch HOBBITS for some contests named 'The Character'..!!"
Pause.. 
And then,He said he is busy with his works. He has to give the shoe back before sunset.
And he just said go ahead you can find loads of HOBBITS there..!!
I found a monkey  with sling .. He asked me to sketch him.. But I could not sketch him.. I still don't why..!! 
Thank god he hasn't thrown that stone to me..!!
Accidentally I looked down anddddd...

"Oh Noooooo!!!"

I have got hairy legs..!! Oh.. That was irritating.. !! 
I screamed like hell...!

"noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"



Someone kicked me out of the bed..!!
I opened my eyes..:O



"pling...."

School Days !

The first day of my school.. Me and Bappa (Father) walked into the school which is just few meters ago from the home. I was excited..
The teacher came to me and welcomed . I didn't noticed that bappa walked back to home .
-
I remember that was a Monday.. I stepped into the classroom. 
Classroom has filled with a strange smell which never experienced before ( and filled next18 years of my life.. ufff!! ).. The smell of mighty chalk.. !! I felt that was enjoyable .. Yea..!!
I looked around.. Could not find Bappa (father) anywhere...!!
Few unknown faces stared at me. My eyes were supposed to get filled with tears. 


 Suddenly a boy next to me screamed like for his motherrrr.. Oh, I was just waiting for that beginning..!!
I didn't look anywhere.. I didn't see anyone.. I burst into tears like hell.. !!!


The teacher came in to me and gave a small hug.. I felt my mother's warmth of that hug.. I tried to stop my sob..  She took me to her table.. 
I smelt it again.. The mighty smell of Chalk Powder..!!

From that moment I started to love that smell.. Chalk powder's smell reminds me my first day at school always with a smile !!
