Ratika enjoying a head massage while reading in Preet Nagar, Mughal Garden.

Ajibo, beneath the kinnoo trees.
Having handed over security duties to the junior staff,
she now enters her soft retirement,
stretched in dappled light,
dreaming of citrus and glory days.

Quick gouache of our most loyal elder,
resting where the sun is warm and the oranges are sweet. 🍊🐾

Arjun, post aalu paranthas and cricket, Mughal Garden, Preet Ghar, Preet Nagar.
He fought bravely.
Against bouncers, butter, and the late October sun.
Now he rests on a khes, the like of which have seen both childhood games and post-lunch naps.

Quick gouache sketch from the kind of day that paints itself.
