"I prefer drawing to writing , It's faster and leaves less room for lies." - Le Corbusier ; and this is what I exactly had to face when I was asked to write about my blog. I wish I could Sketch this write up too:):) Art has been a very essential part of my upbringing, but it got the upper hand only when I decided to take up Architecture as my career. Along with the regular designing skills ,architecture even opened the doors to immense travelling. And It was during these travels when I first put my hands to doodling. Everywhere I traveled, I tried to sketch things that would help me relate to its people, its culture, Its landscape and of course its Architecture. The idea was to sketch everything in a way that the memory of it is rooted deep into my system , with no way to exit. The need to draw, sketch, and doodle on any running thought is constant and more than that it’s therapeutic. My work space would be almost anything I find - pencil on tabletops, marker on a napkin, ink on a torn receipt, bus tickets and sometimes if lucky, a sketchbook too. And it’s done habitually — while on hold, in a meeting, during a boring class, or while one should be ideally sleeping. These doodles on varied canvas are my memory box; where every thought- good or bad, is turned to a doodle. It was three years back, when I finally started compiling my doodles/sketches /drawings on a blog page known by – The Blue Ink Blog. This page was my first step in this humongous art world. The blog is more of a sketched documentary of people, places, events I come across in my day to day life.It was started with the plain intention of sharing stories in the form of my illustrations. I like to call these doodles of mine - my essays without words. Where the form of the essays keep changing depending on the things that have inspired me to draw them.
