Being in Dubai for a month provided me with some ample time for sketches. It had become a routine. Now that I am back and got hold of the other necessities a family environment demands particularly with buying a new space and settling in, I hadn't been able to post anything new for sometime now. A continuation of the previous post...these are sketches from Dubai, from magazines, photos and the right-hand down is a reproduction of the renowned Nikolai Roerich's .
These are called E26 series named after the number of our residence in Dubai.
People
Forms and faces
In multitudes
Dance in awe
The repeated shackles
Of mundane existence
Caught up in
Neck-tied situations
Perspiring from morn
To night
To make ends meet
Some luxuriously
Some laboriously
Some with smile
Some with wry smirk
Some with plain face
Yet there’s a smile
Born every now and then
Reigniting, reinventing
The little joys of life.
