** Art Work **

Once a great Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh said " I tell you, the more I think, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people."

Color is my day-long Obsession.

These were a Few Paintings that I had done few years back.

The Ganesha is a sculpture created on a wooden plank which weighs 20 kgs.

** Vampire Romance **

A General Question to all.. Do you believe in Romance? Do you believe in Love Stories? Do you believe in dreams? Do you believe in Fantasies? I DO.

VAMPIRES - sensual, erotic, beautiful, enigmatic, romantic . . . and deadly. VAMPIRES are the stuff of dreams and fantasies. VAMPIRES give us the gift of immortality. VAMPIRES challenge the one inevitability in life - death. VAMPIRES are synonymous with love, sex, desire, lust, obsession . . . and blood. Always the blood.

Ever since i first read the book Twilight in I was in love.. Love all over again but not with normal humans you come across , but with those beautiful, immortal, cold-ones living somewhere in this Universe.

I imagine being with a Vampire Man just like Edward Cullen. He looks like a Greek God who loves his girl to such an extent that he is scared of losing her , because he thinks he will hurt her. Does such romance exist??

A normal girl Bella Swan who has just moved to the coldest place in America. Though she hates all cold wet things, falls in love with the most gorgeous immortal.!! Can this happen..?? Her first love , her first desire to be with a man comes true..!! Edward was waiting for Bella since 106 years..! is that a joke..

I am a leo , it is the most romantic sign from all the zodiac signs. And we love when a man does something out of the blue for his girl. We love it when he says I love u front of his friends and family, not caring about the whole world, we love it when a boy forgets to gift his girl for her birthday but just gives her a rose, kiss and hug and promises her that he will never leave her. We love it when he makes us do new and exciting things. Oh... ill keep goin on and on with it..! so i better stop..!

So people who haven't started reading The Twilight series that includes new moon , eclipse and breaking dawn... your missing the real taste of sensuality .

** First Photoshoot **

One of the greatest days of my life. Something that I have been dreaming since I was in my 7th grade that is when i was just 13 years old..! A Dream of becoming a Fashion Designer , a dream of having my own collection , a dream of first my photo shoot.

My theme for my first ever collection is "ELEMENTS OF NATURE". That included Earth, Water, Fire and Air.

Its feels wierd coz i dint want a model to wear my first collection . I wanted to do it all by my self . A shoot with my design and me wearing them.

It was the first time i faced a professional camera. OMG the goosebumps and butterfly in my tummy. I can still feel them.

My parents and my sister told me they were so proud of me. As i achieved what i aimed for at such an early age. First time i cried when they complimented me, all the emotions and tears just wouldn't stop. My friends were quite supportive espeacially Navya. The whole shoot was shot at her place. ~Thank you Navu for helping me out~

The shoot started in the early hours first with my hair style and then the make up. My first shoot was for the WATER - I had blue makeup on..! and when i looked in the mirror i was like Oh My God i have never had soo much makeup on me before.. lol but then it dint really show in the pictures. My garment was a inspiration of sea-horse , the shape and how it curls in and out.










Then came the EARTH - with earthy colors like brown and green, was a crazy thinking of an elephant the hugeness and heaviness as it had. with a touch of brocade fabrics to show and give the bulkiness in the garment.











AIR - was a complete acrobatic photoshoot with me standing on tables and getting the right shade of light in the sky and trying to stand opposite direction of the wind.. I love butterflies and wanted its textures in my garment with fabrics and the cuts in the designs.













And Finally came the FIRE- this was a structured garment that i had designed . The collar was the main emphasis for this garment. Something that keeps u safe and yet give that dangerously sexy look like a lion..

^*^ First Love ^*^

-*-*-*-

On a summer's day long, long ago

I fell in love and I'll never know

Just what it was that made me feel

So drawn to him, with the appeal

That set my pulses so to race

When ever I gazed upon that face

Of one who was a man but a child

Yet even then could drive me wild

I'll never know the how's and why's

I lost my heart to those Eyes

For how could I describe our love?

Romantic love, all hearts and flowers

No way to count the days and hours

Spent in self-indulgent wishes

And thoughts of long awaited kisses

Of sweet embraces, tender sighs

And gazing into love filled eyes

Oh yes, it is that kind of love

Or, is it yet the love of passion

The ecstasy that knows no ration

That shuddering nerve-tingling feeling

The climax with your senses reeling

The wondrous joy when you discover

That sweet surrender to your lover

Oh yes, it's that kind of love too.

Or even yet a love that grows

One that cares and one that knows

That sees beyond the outer skin

Into the person deep within

That loves the spirit and the soul

The inner self that makes the whole

Built on trust and empathy

A love you know was meant to be

The love we share is all these things

A love that has no need of rings

A love you never need to doubt

A love I cannot live without

A love to last us all our days

A love I'll share with you always.

-*-*-*-

**Agony and Pain**

Pain is always there,
No matter where I run.
There is always pain,
Pain of a lost loved one.
Someone who made me happy,
Just to turn around and lie.
Someone who I cared about,
Then turned around and ripped my heart out.

Left my heart there,
Stomped in the mud, shattered.
Left there for me to put back together, Piece by piece.
Not knowing where which piece goes,
Hoping that this pain will go away.
My heart aches,
'Cause no one is there.

I have not been able to find someone,
To make my heart whole once more.
To ease the throbbing pain,
That feels as though it will never end.
I am waiting to find that special man,
That will hold my heart.
Wrapped-up inside of his.
So that the pain in my heart,
Is healed from the love of his.
