Potpourri

Houseboat (7*5 inches) - Acrylics on watercolour paper

This type of houseboat could be seen in Alappuzha (Venice of the East), backwaters of Kerala. They take you through the dream land of lakes and lagoons and coconut palms. They cruise through Vembanad lake, its estuaries and canals passing through the flora and fauna typical of the place. They offer you cruise packages depending on your budget. A cruise through the tranquil and serene backwaters will be heaven after months of toil and drudgery.

For Moms!


Bookmarks made with cardstock and painted in acrylics

A mother laughs
Our laughter,
Sheds our tears,
Returns our love,
Fears our fears
She lives our joys,
Cares our cares,
And all our hopes
and dreams she shares.
-Julia Summers

This quote is from a flyer that Lil A's school, Rajagiri International, gave to all the parents who attended the Mother's Day celebration today. It was a wondeful event with a Fashion Show (I didn't participate:)) for the moms. There was a compatibility test of the child with the mom in their respective classes. Kids had a blast of a time; and even we-the mothers! Lil A and I won the compatibility test of their class and she even crowned me with a cardstock crown with a glittering golden star in the middle while the children of the class applauded. It was a ecstatic! 

I am very much reminded of my mom...LOVE her!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
