This is not much of a news, but I cannot write anything. And this affects me very much! Writing is a passion that either burns the paper, scorch marks all over or else, burns me….
To put it simply, I write to stay sane. So I’m inviting anyone who happens to read this post, please if you are leaving a comment, leave a topic, not too difficult (you wouldn’t torture the poor me, would you?)
Hopefully, I should get enough topics to last me at least a few weeks. So please help!!
Hopefully, I should get enough topics to last me at least a few weeks. So please help!!
Now there is one more passion I have something I could have been good at, if I had something like I have weblog for my writing. And I am not being modest! As those who know well the Blogger-me, they know that I may be the Sarcasm Queen or even the Butter Queen, but no one has ever called me Modesty anything! (about the first two epithets, those who don’t know, trust me you don’t want to know either)
So to continue what I was saying, there is one thing I do, on and off, sadly like my writing of the pre-Maverick Misfit-period (sounds like Stone Age), it greatly depends on my mood! And my mood strikes about once in six months (in a manner of speaking) and lasts at least the whole day when I may forget even to eat (I usually try not to forgo other, ahem, sensitive chores). So you may already know the writer, and heard about me as the almost-scientist, now, may I introduce you to the crazy artist.
Sketching and Painting are my other passion. Probably the first thing I knew I can do. Sometimes I feel more alive creating than doing anything else in this world! How I wish I would be more diligent at it.
So here are a few sketches I have done. I completely owe this idea of showcasing my drawings on my blog to Avada Kedavra, an amazing artist herself.
Here goes!
Here goes!
These are three portraits I sketched. Rather than scanning them I used a camera to take the pictures, the white of the paper is a bit off. But I think you get the essence. All the three took only a few hours each, though I spent a lot of time doing the first one’s curls. The last one, that of a cobbler toiling, is my favourite. Maybe some other time I will also post a few of my paintings; the mediums are usually pastel or water or oil.
Do tell me how you like these.
And I will be waiting for those topics-to-write-on suggestions.
P.S. I am calling myself Maverick for a change ’cause a few people actually think of me as such rather than the usual Misfit. Though, honestly, I love both 😉 G.:)

I can write on the topic 'Mask”, but before that I want to see what's your article on it, that is, which sense of the word you are using!! And then I'll write on the same! 😛 🙂
