My cactus blooms only once a year, and it finally happened 🤍

Something that blooms for just a few hours once a year, isn’t that magic? The aroma pulls you in so deeply that, for a moment, the world around you disappears. It feels almost unreal, like a kind of high nature quietly offers without asking for anything in return.

Isn’t it amazing how such small fragments of nature can make you feel special, simply because you were lucky enough to witness their rare beauty? Looking at this Nishagandhi, I felt all of that. One of the purest forms of nature’s art. ✨

Quick scribbles of my college mates I did during class time, based on the phrases they used to say the most, Started with myself first because they always mock me with “endhonnu”

'The creation of an infinite loop' -acrylic on canvas.

I wanted to create something that mirrors the formation of life and an infinite web of possibilities within life itself. Here, all the strokes and threads of life converge to a point where everything seems meaningless. We end up creating seemingly meaningless things as a compelled form of meaningful content to accept and exist in this social realm. The equilibrium state persists, urging us to focus on both positive and negative aspects, similar to life and death. However, our predominant focus often leans towards the negative, causing us to lose touch with our emotions and perpetuate that negativity without moderation.

Life takes its course, formed as it is, and the threads attached to it determine the path we choose whether to walk on the thread or cut it is up to us. Regardless, life continues to unfold in its inherent way.

Everything here is completely my own work, no AI used. A few images are mockups I made in Photoshop just to visualise the scale/placement (sorry for the terrible editing job 😅). The artworks themselves are fully original.

Been exploring layered abstraction with textures, forms and expressive details… I love letting intuition take over and seeing how each piece slowly evolves on its own through colours, movement and composition. Sharing some of my fav works

I painted this back in 2021 during my watercolor era. It’s centered around motherhood, not the idealized Pinterest version of it, but something softer, quieter, and emotional. Watercolor is unforgiving, so preserving that softness and emotion without overworking it still feels like a flex to me today.

Got it made by my local tailor and honestly turned out better than I expected.

So I’ve been keeping this dead gooseberry tree for more than 2 years because I don’t want it to decompose or disappear since it somehow still looks the same… but today I found this little guy eating my tree 🤧

He looks cute and all, but is he gonna drill through the entire thing now?

Not sure if this is stress eating or just my mildly depressed soul craving pazhampori and chaya at midnight… but honestly, worth it!!

I’ve been purposely avoiding buying any snacks to stop myself from doing this… and yet here we are🤧

Back around 2016, I had this banana variety called “Kaveri” (not entirely sure if that’s the actual name, just going by memory). It tasted quite similar to matti pazham, but more like a smaller version of robusta.

I also remember people saying it had a lot of health benefits, especially for diabetes.

I’ve been trying to find it again recently, but no luck so far. Checked multiple fruit shops and no one seems to recognize the name.

Made some quick Maggi and coffee… it started raining, so I’m just sitting here doing nothing. Honestly, kinda nice….. suggest some songsss 😌
