Hobbit Hunt

I have seen the contest named "The Character" . And I have started to search what is this hobbit actually..!!
Of course I have watched the movie "The Hobbit" but still I was curious about to learn the things..
From the first day I could not get even a single clue..

And finally , I found something in Wikipedia..!! 
They are smaller than dwarfs.. With hairy legs, great courageous but shy.. They adept slings and throwing stones ( Copied from Wiki ).

I went to find out one hobbit so that I can sketch him for the contest..
The journey was amazing. I read hobbits are living in caves. So I tried to explore the caves. Suddenly I fell down to some darkness and there I found a blue Dinosaur. 
He doesn't have any hairy leg.. He is not shy.. But I knew that he is very courageous..
I asked him : "Are you a HOBBIT..?? "
He said:  "ha ha man this way.. You will find them out.. I am not the one..!!"
Okay, I was happy like anything. That way takes me to a greenish forest. 
Yeah, it is the place I have seen the Hobbits in the movie.
Suddenly I heard a cry from my feet..!
"Who's that..??"
" It's me dude.. Look down....!!"
A small giraffe is showing his leg. He was angry like anything.. 
I asked :" Bhai you know HOBBITS..?"
He calmed down and said.. " Yes.. I am a Hobbit..!!"
"Thanks buddy.. It's very much pleased to meet you..!!"
He is like : " hmm whatever.. What's your intention..?? Why you are searching HOBBITS..??"
I was like : " Actually I wanted sketch HOBBITS for some contests named 'The Character'..!!"
Pause.. 
And then,He said he is busy with his works. He has to give the shoe back before sunset.
And he just said go ahead you can find loads of HOBBITS there..!!
I found a monkey  with sling .. He asked me to sketch him.. But I could not sketch him.. I still don't why..!! 
Thank god he hasn't thrown that stone to me..!!
Accidentally I looked down anddddd...

"Oh Noooooo!!!"

I have got hairy legs..!! Oh.. That was irritating.. !! 
I screamed like hell...!

"noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"



Someone kicked me out of the bed..!!
I opened my eyes..:O



"pling...."

School Days !

The first day of my school.. Me and Bappa (Father) walked into the school which is just few meters ago from the home. I was excited..
The teacher came to me and welcomed . I didn't noticed that bappa walked back to home .
-
I remember that was a Monday.. I stepped into the classroom. 
Classroom has filled with a strange smell which never experienced before ( and filled next18 years of my life.. ufff!! ).. The smell of mighty chalk.. !! I felt that was enjoyable .. Yea..!!
I looked around.. Could not find Bappa (father) anywhere...!!
Few unknown faces stared at me. My eyes were supposed to get filled with tears. 


 Suddenly a boy next to me screamed like for his motherrrr.. Oh, I was just waiting for that beginning..!!
I didn't look anywhere.. I didn't see anyone.. I burst into tears like hell.. !!!


The teacher came in to me and gave a small hug.. I felt my mother's warmth of that hug.. I tried to stop my sob..  She took me to her table.. 
I smelt it again.. The mighty smell of Chalk Powder..!!

From that moment I started to love that smell.. Chalk powder's smell reminds me my first day at school always with a smile !!

Trip to Cochin again !!


By this time I have travelled somewhat outskirt of the city.
I preferred Fort Kochi/ Mattanchery, Kalady, Thrippunithura etc.

Can't go anywhere else other than the Dutch Palace for the start.. Yeah I have moved to Mattancheri.


Fort Kochi is not just Kochi.. It is the Kochi !!

Pallippuram Fort has a lot of stories to tell !!
an aerial view of Fort Kochi


From there I moved to the historic Hill Palace Museum, Thripunithura.
 




And I just wound up the journey there at Kalady

Mysore.. Not just a memory..!


Well Yeah, Mysore is not just a memory for me. It's more than that. Maybe I have forgotten something there or I left some dreams over there. I don't know..!


By the way , I have been going back to those days through my pencil and pen. Kinda weird attempt I know..!




  Old singer Building somewhere near to the Suburb Bus station is one of the nostalgic area, where I saw Mysore first, followed by a couple of Auto drivers..!  It's spelled wrong in the picture by the way.. ( It is Singer Building not Ginger :D )

.. And when I started to walk to the city bus stand, the classy Clock tower will smile to me. Believe me, Clock tower is looking awesome in the misty mornings.. I swear !



... Well , the Jagan Mohan Palace is not a frequently visited place but still the place is having some great memories..!

 

There is a gate which would wake me up from the bus when I reached to the Mysore Bus Station. I don't know what exactly its named but it has a key role in my Mysore memories..!



.. Srirangapatna mosque has amazed me many times. We had been there for our weekends and crazy evenings..!


I tried to sketch the mighty Mysore Palace. 


.. And in some weekend we'd planned to climb Chamundi through the steps...!! Man, that was awesome..


I have visited St. Philomina's Church only twice or thrice in my entire Mysore life.. I don't know may be the huge rush of that area made me to stay away .. Even I don't remember how many times I went to Mandi Mohalla ..!!



To Gangothri...!


Manasagangothri, where I lived.. Dept Of Studies in Geography was the nest. Where University tried to dig our asses to the fundamentals of Geography.. :P



Library was one of the best place for rest..! I myself let me sleep almost everyday when I get bored from the drammatic Geographical Studies.. Those Hundred Years old books sung lullaby for me.. 
I still thankful for them and thats the way I became a book lover !! :P





Love maadi.. love maadi.. love maadi...!!  Kukkarahalli kere melodiously sung it for me.. :D
