■ look ma .. my sketch got published!

sometimes what Ma says turns out to be correct....let me rephrase it.. most of the time what Ma says  turns out to be correct... umm .... who am i kidding.. she is correct each and every time!

The last time when I pledged myself that I'll never sketch in my life, she was wise enough to ignore my amateurish decision. She made me take drawing courses and had said.. 'bachche, you are going to thank me some day!'.

Years passed by, nothing happened. I joined college. I thought, may be I could woo girls with my sketches ( it's not me, blame the copious amount of testosterone) but then who would care for a guy with a pencil and paper when there was a dude who could play violin like SRK did in Mohabbaten or the guy who sang like sonu nigam. Chicks dug them...aur ek gaana sunao naa... woh waali dhun bajao naa.....I had cursed myself one more time for taking drawing courses.
(both are very close friends of mine :)  K sings awesome, R plays too good! )

Some more years passed by, as usual not much happened.
One day I got a comment to one of my sketch on this very blog, requesting for a commissioned sketch for a book cover! Imagine Fardeen Khan's reaction if he gets a call from Christopher Nolan for casting him in his upcoming movie!
I was like..was someone messing with me?? a practical joke may be...things like this don't happen to me..it was too good to be true!

my sketch got published.. yep, once again mom proved herself right :)

Greatful thanks to K.Mathur for writing the novel "Never Mind Yaar" and giving me an opportunity to contribute.

kind request to all - if you liked the excerpts of the book please do spread about the novel "NEVER MIND YAAR"

Here is my sketch on the novel's website.
