Rangoli: doodle ishtyle # 1

Rangoli is a decorative form of art which is very popular all over India. What I love about it is the use of so many colours. I love colour! The more, the merrier!:)

So, why do a 'Doodle Rangoli'?
Michael, my tutor for Advertising school in London, always said that there is always what he called as 'the Jineesha touch' to everything that I do, which makes it a lil' 'hat-ke' (different). And this applies not only to my work, but to every small thing I do.
Ditto here.

Traditionally, Rangoli patterns are either geometric (floral and abstract) or symbolic( Goddess Lakshmi, the kalash, etc). Since Jineesha can't do anything normally, here's what she came up with!
Gandhi family goes to the moon on a desi rocket!! Oooopsss, I forgot to add dad's glasses and my sister's cell phone (she's constantly on it)! Don't ask me why we are headed in the opposite direction! And Oh wait! I hope that rocket doesn't explode on the way, else we will crash land on our building terrace :) Bon Voyage!!

We won at the street painting event !!! Whoppieeee :) :)

Here's what we did for a street painting event held in Vile Parle, Mumbai. The residents of the locality were asked to do-up the place by painting the walls. I helped my mama (my uncle) to do his bit, and this is what we came up with!

I was very amused by the reactions of the passer-bys. Firstly, they had a problem with the number 9. I don't understand why they were trying to read 2090 in Hindi/ Marathi. They kept calling it 2010!!
Next, they thought the water drop meant deforestation!! Don't give me the puzzled look! I don't know why!!!
Then came the poor lil' fish. Somebody called it an ALIEN. By then I was going to sob!!

My mama's conclusion was that maybe its too early in the morning for people to think!
My conclusion was that where there's mama, there's bound to be drama! Ha! It rhymes and its soooper cheeky :)

Finally, the thirsty fish won. We got the award for the best concept!! Hip! Hip! Hurray! Now that's a happily happy me :)
