I have been planning on sketching a good anime concept, and I found this one on a website which I can’t remember now. But I have edited the facial features from the original, and given it more defined hair and eyes. The wings got a bit messy, and the left hand as well. So, I had to resort to Photoshop to undo the harm. I wish I knew how to colour well in Photoshop to give this a real good technicolour feel. But, it will take some time-may be a year or two for me to come up with a colorful sketch, coz I know that I am shit when it comes to colouring. Last but not the least, I dedicate this sketch to one of my best friends – Rajkamal Roka, aka MAMA—Here’s to you bro!! Congrats for IIFT. Anyway, here we go. I am uploading two stages of the sketch.
Stage 1: Without Wings.
As the name suggests, the initial frame of the angel; her body.

Stage 2: With Wings.

So, did you like it, or did it offend you somehow?
Just a quick sketch I did a month ago. I haven’t sketched in a long time and shall be sketching some more in the coming future, before the next semester begins. Click the picture below to see the original size.

*******UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE *******
Yes, it is almost a year since I started this blog. My labour of love, my ramblings through the woods of uncertainty and often madness. This is where I have vented out some of the weirdest stuff that my brain could have ever imagined. In the process, my writing skills have been challenged, and I have tried to meet those challenges. I know I haven’t frequented this space for quite some time, so start things over, I am planning on doing a theme change for OKS.
The main theme is going to remain as this one. This is called the German Newspaper Theme. It is simple, quite editable, and I like it. I have done away with the Silver Lexus theme, although I loved it. This will be an ongoing project until I am satisfied, so you might encounter some weird page when you hit the website URL. Just don’t get scared, and stay calm.Don’t panic, Uncle Sujoy will be back with help in just a mo!
Also, since this is an ongoing process of numerous trial and errors, I will keep you posted about the changes through this post. I know I am running a risk of my website having a shitty look for the next few days, but then, the ugly duckling always becomes the beautiful swan. Until we get to the perfect design, wish me luck on me mission! Cheers!
Update:~ Dec 14th.
The new blog theme is called Velocity, and it is available for free download on BlogOhBlog. [Continue Reading…]

In the voice of Mohd. Rafi from the movie C.I.D, when Johnny Walker sings, “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Jeena Yaha, Zara Hatke, Zara Bachke, Ye Hai Bombay Meri Jaan”, never did anyone realise how these words would hold a whole different meaning on Nov 26th, 2008. Or is it? Has Mumbai or Bombay as we prefer to call it, witnessed too much that it can hold in its belly all these events and still carry on and on and on? Resilience and “Spirit of Mumbai”- are these words just to solace ourselves and are now turning out to be synonyms of lack of security, lack of facilities, and lack of proper administration and trying to come in terms with it. Is the ‘chalta hai’ attitude making us into ‘jalta hai’. I am writing this from the comfort of my secured room in Southampton, England. And I wonder what my friends working back in Mumbai are feeling right now. Do they feel safe, now that the 60 hour plus tussle is over? Or is it just the beginning of a series of sleepless nights? Paranoia, Panic and the sense of fear, and then trying to come in terms with it as life moves on and we all look forward to another day, facing the rush and hustle-bustle of the busy Mumbai. Braving the danger? Don’t think so. It is bread we need to earn and hence, work to attend. But amongst all these, scores of questions bother me. Can anyone answer me? Is anybody hearing?
1. Has the involvement of the international press in broadcasting this event as a terror attack of a similar magnitude as 9-11, brought the much-needed attention of issues in India? How much is too much? Is it the death-poll that decides if the news features in the headlines or in the ‘international section’ where they also discuss ‘the new Made in China fake iPhone’. Is it because a Rabbi was killed, and a Jewish center was held hostage that the world is taking notice? Or is it because of the supposedly Britons that are involved? [Continue Reading…]
