My New Sitar

After staying away from sitar classes for more than four months while I was in Pune, I have started joining to my sitar master Saroj Mukherjee in Mysore. Last week I have bought my new Sitar from Mysore and it was nice to bring home this magical musical instrument. I went along with my master to the shop to select it and bought it for Rs.7300 after various parameter validations by my master. He later replaced the strings of this string with better ones and my net cost of sitar turned out to be 8k. It's a nice feeling to own a Sitar, though not many would even appreciate learning Sitar.

Brushing up the artist in me.

I completed a three month course on oil painting from a drawing institute named Grafitti in Pune, near where I stayed there in Jagtap dairy. This picture is the last oil painting I made before returning back from Pune. I liked it very much as a proof of my efforts to brush up my old talent as an artist while in school days. I have now framed it and looks pretty clean to be hanged on the wall at my home :)
