100 Happy Days: Day 94 A New Canvas Arrives

Happiness is starting a new painting

Met a 90years old artist last week and got inspired by her work. She has some beautiful paintings in oils. I decided to make one too. I asked her if she would help me. She invited me to go to her house. I asked her to sketch for me and give me little guidance. She was willing too. The only problem is to go to Navi Mumbai, which is pretty far from my house. 

Maybe I could do something else? Warli is the painting on my mind. I don’t wish to paint in oils because it takes too much time to complete. I need to finish this in two months. I have decided to paint in acrylic and this time it will Warli paintings.

Morning was spent just sketching the outline. Okay, there is still time.

100 Happy Days: Day 92 Mango Slices

Happiness is reviving childhood Memories

I remember the school days, while we waited for our school bus to arrive; we munched on raw mangoes, ripe tamarinds and sour berries. We never washed our hands before eating, just gobbled the food sold openly outside our school gates.

Not sure if the food was hygienic or not, but we never got sick after eating the street food.

Today, those memories came flooding back when I sprinkled red pepper and salt and ate the spicy snack of raw mangoes in the comfort of my home.

And yes, I washed the fruit first.

100 Happy Days: Day 91 At Special School

Happiness is coming to Special School

Came to school to spend two days to catch up with the workload that cannot be done online. But it’s always a pleasure coming here. It’s nice to watch them play. Many children are learning to play table tennis and they want me to see them play. So I just stood there watching them.

The children at vocational unit come selling the masala that they grind. I brought red chili powder. They learn to pack, weigh and calculate in an informal way. Children are taught according to their ability.

But most of my time was spent designing an appeal brochure for the school. Time just passes, and suddenly all kids are gone back home and there is complete silence.

100 Happy Days: Day 90 Edible Gifts

Happiness is getting edible gifts

Friend went to her village near Alibaag and brought me white onions. I am planning to make onion pickle.

I like when friends get me edible gifts. My uncle brings me frozen food from Bangkok whenever he visits me. My friends get for me street food of the place they are visiting. My cousins bring me soup packets and sauces, exotic fruits and vegetables.  

Edible gift, though they have short shelf life, they are more appreciated than gifts like perfumes and clothes.

The reason is that the edible gifts are enjoyed best when shared.
