Upcoming work of Amitie Series....

Got up at 4 am.

The first thing was the picture of my niece on my wallpaper. My little angel who gave so much love before she flew to her home. My day starts with her picture only. I have kept the corner yet the way she left with her stuff toys.

Kids are the BEST thing that can happen to any couple. But that doesn't change my love for kids of my friends or cousins. To bless or love a kid of my friend or my cousin - I don't need to know or see them. Blessings are never an insult!

But life taught one thing - keep things in heart never express as being childless , people in your life (indeed your own family) will see you differently!

There are times I am not offered prasadam or allowed for baby showers. I am considered bad omen, as I am childless. A woman who fought all this can take any humiliation. Maybe if I had a child - men around me would have respected me.

"But there is a question ' a woman only deserves to be treated nicely - if she is a mother'?? "

Just 15 days with me and still so many paintings to make for Amitie series. I share some incomplete pictures of my upcoming paintings.  Yet Amitie series will be officially launched on 14th Feb, 2017 on my page.

I might not have these paintings with me but these might be on someone's wall - a part of my heart out of my body. Maybe it might give a smile on someone's face though it left just scars on my soul and tears in my eyes.

Maybe this time the artist will paint that pain which life gifted to her to prove she never did things purposely in her life. I take all in stride as I have to be strong to finish this series to prove it is not an insult to art or friendship, and above all to prove she never lived a year with hatred. She painted her memories to relive each moment again.

Paintings full of good thoughts, emotions, adoration, respect, hope, forgiveness, and now her final departure from her friend's life forever!!
