The only painting ever done by me ..

A Gujarati Shepherd

The only “painting” by me when I was in 4th or 5th standard. Made with water colors and some brush on a Biology sheet. Nothing Special. I wish someone had allowed me to learn drawing. But they used to say – this is all useless, have to concentrate on my studies and become an engineer. I am an engineer today; now what ?

draw engineering drawings … that is also quite intuitive and exciting to do 🙂

  I always hated them. It seems Engineering drawing was the thing which killed my aptitude for drawing 😛

Lovely! Has an air of serenity round it
- Puru
  
  Thank you 🙂

    what a perspective! You did have the talent to draw…perhaps you still do that is why you posted this…
    - Puru
      
      Nope. this was the only one I did years back. I doubt if my fingers still have any flexibility left
Divya Nambiar

That’s good. Really.
Now what? take it up as a hobby. It’s never too late for that. 🙂
- Puru
  
  Maybe to compensate, I took up photography when I grew up 🙂

    Hmm…that’s not a bad idea. 🙂
Tesney Ap

That’s really good. You should have it frame 🙂
- Puru
  
  Thats too much. It has some assignment on the back of the sheet 🙂

now start painting again. the roads that we have not taken often contain the energy we need to manifest our true potential. find your dreams, purnendu.
- Puru
  
  I tried but my fingers have lost the flexibility it seems. So the next best idea was to switch to photography 🙂
Amit Agarwal

Never too late.. Now there’s no one to stop you.. 😀
Pretty good for a 4th / 5th grader.
- Puru
  
  Thanks Nasreen 🙂
Nisha

What a painting for a 4th/5th grader! Now that you are an engineer, you are almost finished. 😛
Well, i.e. if you don’t pursue your hobby. 😀
Photography is still mechanical, be human by taking up painting. 🙂
- Puru
  
  I tried actually, but the fingers have lost their flexibility. Lets see, now am a bit inspired 🙂
Panchali

Wow, man…you are an excellent painter. That’s a gift, never let it go.
- Puru
  
  Thanks Sourabh. As I said Engineering took my creativity from me and B School returned some of it. So I became a photographer 🙂
