The Delhi Chapter : Page 42


That day passed like a blink.
Just as the first day did.  

And after many a bouncing off of ideas.
Of approvals and rejections.
Sanctions and revisions.

I finally had my train of thought heading somewhere.

The next step was to draw the story board.
And try my hardest to faintly make it resemble a comic strip.

So I went and grabbed myself a cup of tea first.
And then sat in that little room next to the library.
On one of those tall bar stools.

Slapped a few of my hand-made leaves on the counter.
And left a 3B graphite sketching pencil to casually roll over it.  

****

The hopeless romantic that I’ve always been, I knew I couldn’t possibly start doodling without looking out of that giant window. And gape for at least some minutes.

I noticed the winter approaching us, over an expanded concrete forest. 

One could feel the wind start up, the fog gently clot and the sun tenderly pelt.
One could see a wallpaper of cool blue shifting patterns in the sky.
A warm ochre 4 PM sun like a butterscotch scoop.  

Wrinkled pastel leaves.  
Sunburnt peeling dreams.
And a warm, tea-sipped, slow mood...
