Dragon flies in Monochrome

Pradita Kapahi / November 1, 2016

Another morning, pre-workout doodle with a single colour. The inspiration behind this piece were Chinese Ink Washes and dragonflies hovering above my fish pond. I love both of them, I mean ink washes and dragonflies. This was a quick 10 minute thing. I’m happy with the result, though of course, this doesn’t really qualify as ink wash.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have two sides – the uber friendly, fun-loving, outgoing 16 something, and the people hating, leave-me-alone-in-my-pyjamas type 40 something who’ll scare away anyone who dares to disturb her lone time. . . For sometime I had thought that maybe I was crazy. I liked to make friends but I couldn’t maintain friendships. I would avoid talking with or meeting them and instead prefer things like reading a book, watching TV or cleaning out the refrigerator. I wouldn’t answer calls or messages. . . I always knew I was an introvert but I didn’t know that there were degrees to introversion. . . Now I know that I love having friends, but I don’t want them hanging around me all the time. I love my lone time. And that’s an understatement. My lone time centres me, recharges me, gives me time to collect my scattered thoughts and solidify my resolves. If I don’t have my lone time at least once in the day, I feel drained. And that’s another understatement. Parties exhaust me and I readily turn down outings just so I can relax by myself. I can’t be expected to talk or plan something with just anyone just because they are on my contact list. I can’t do that! . . At the same time there are days when I crave attention, companionship, I want to dress up and sing and dance and share silly jokes with my mates. . . Oh, and then there’s the other problem that introverts have – their mates. They may be friendly with everyone but they have very few friends and those are the ONLY ones they like to socialize with, that is whenever they decide to step out of their shell at all. . . So dear ‘friends’, I apologize for having shut you out at times and making you feel like you’re unwanted. It’s not that. I want to be friends, I want your company, and that’s why I’m explaining this to you. I want you but I don’t want youall the time. If you know what I mean, if you still get this, wait for this turtle to pop out of her shell again and then I promise you, I’ll be a shoulder to cry on, a drinking buddy, a debating partner or whatever you want me to be. . . #introvertlife #thepraditachronicles.com #instawriters #writersofinstagram #newpostalert #ontheblogtoday

#doodling again! 😍😻😍😻😍😻😍😻 #lcdboards #doodler #doodlesketch #illustration #timepass #doodleboard #sillysketches

Loving this #wicueboard I bought recently! Slates are so much fun especially when there ain't no mess of chalk dust and chalky hands. #doodling #doodleboard #lcdpads #lcdboard #eslate #doodlesketch #doodler

Your tainted love It trickles down Like an IV drip, Plops into me A bit by bit, and I feel Foolishly sanguine, comatose. I am your hallowed vessel, On a lethal dose of you I've overdosed. = I never noticed When my own blood Turned to water In your hands, When I found myself warped Into your version of me - Meek, bleak, servile, Blind to your failings, Sold into serfdom, Ready for your commands. = But I'm cosy now Warm, fuzzy. My head is dizzy With the drug Of the promises You fail to keep. Yet you are The remedy for everything, The panacea to cure me From the eternal pain that I seek. = Every now and then When I meet With the past, I'm lost, Groping for my own reality. But you rescue me, Inject me With your substance; Your excuses, Your treasonous truths, About my former banality. = And I'm subdued then, Sated in the knowledge That I'm now loved. Even if that love Be flawed to the core. Funny how the lies I once abhorred Bother me no more. = I'll lay dormant In this cage you built me I'm too far gone, Beyond hope. Your drug courses In my veins like blood my own. = Come, sweet liar, Inject me again. Claim me, sustain me. Come whisper in my ears Your bald lies. Come dupe me again, My anodyne. #poetry #poem #instapoetry #poetsofinstagram

Caught this #bat in action right now. I like bats; I think they're cute, furry, little things but this one has a wing span as huge as an eagle's! And it loves hanging out on this #Spathodea tree next to my place. I didn't know bats loved flowers so much. I also didn't know bats actually walk upside down! Or that they pee (I caught that on film too but I'm trying to keep it PG-13 here). Marvellous! . . . . #batinaction #bats #naturegram #naturephotography #nofilter #nature_perfection #greenery #animalphotography #maharashtrawildlife #indiafauna #naturelovers #batsofinstagram #naturelovers #wildlifeindia #wildlifephotography #praditakapahi #nature_captures #natural #spathodea #africantuliptree #botanyandzoology #amateurphotography #phonephotography #nature
