The one thing that this drawing challenge has started teaching me is that the lack of drawing skills can help me reach narrower, truer and crisp answers to questions.
So today's challenge was my favourite place. After a quick gush of Goa, Connoor, Sikkim... within the first few seconds of reading the challenge, I was most certain which is my favourite place in the whole wide world--My Home!!!
But well, how is one to draw one's home?!
I remember back as a kid I had taken up a few drawing classes and the teacher had taught me how rooms are drawn... narrower at the distance and broader at the closer end! But well, I was unable to draw even one, even once!
So then I got thinking, what is the place in the home that I love the most (and which I might be able to draw some how, in some shape and form!)... And well, it had to be our bed! :)
After sleeping on the floor in Mumbai for months, and on landlords' bed for another few months, and coming back to the floor for a few more weeks in Bangalore... Punit & I bought this bed. It was HUGE money for us back then and we settled for the most kifaayati option we could get (without compromising on my wish of a fluffy eight-inch mattress!).
The most masti time is spent on this piece of furniture, and the most relaxed time too. Every morning, we sit for hours cuddled up in the bed, reading newspapers, checking our emails, reading books, working, sipping on tea, etc! The most precious moments of my days!
I could be sleeping in a five star hotel in the most luxurious bed... but there's no place like our own old-wood-look bed!
Straight from the heart of a maha lazy soul.... I LOWE you my bed, you're my favourite place in the world! Mwah! :)
