Mohiniyattam (The Dance of the Enchantress)

Mohiniyattam also spelled Mohiniattam is an Indian Classical Dance Form from Kerala. The word Mohiniyattam literally means 'the dance of the enchantress'. It is considered very graceful dance form performed as a solo recital by women. The main theme of the dance is love and devotion to God, usually Vishnu or Krishna being the hero.

The Frown

Another 15 minutes well spent! Satisfied with this sketch of Frowning Eyes, considering the time I spent on it!

The practice sketches! Just like that! :) The most expressive part of human body! 

We're crazy for cricket!

Though I am not a cricket freak! But when I saw this photograph in the newspaper yesterday, I was inspired to sketch it! This depicts the humility of the extreme successful man! He thanks God for his achievements. He doesnt let success go into his head! The immensely inspiring sports person with the real 'sports spirit' Sachin Tendulkar! I salute his spirit of maintaining calm and patience when everyone in the world who consider him 'God' were criticising him. 

Terence Lewis-The Choreographer

Terence Lewis is an Indian choreographer. He is internationally trained and specializes in Indian folk, contemporary and neo-classical dance forms. He is also a choreographer in Bollywood films and musicals. Terence won the American Choreography Award for his excellent choreography for the songs of the movie Lagaan along with Saroj Khan, Raju Khan, Ganesh Hegde and Vaibhavi Merchant. He was the choreographer of the films like John Mathew’s ‘Shikhar’ and Ram Gopal Verma’s Naach. He also did Music videos like Adnan Sami’s ‘Kasam’ (with Amisha Patel), Stereo Nation’s Ishq (with Koena Mitra) and Shaan, Sapna Mukherjee among others.

I am in no way inspired from nor have any special liking for Terence. I did this sketch for one of my students, who is a great fan of Terence ‘Sir’. This sketch somewhat resembles Terence, not perfectly a Terence’s Sketch.
