move over MFH!

So, Smita tagged me to this fun thing! Ofcos, me being, technologically handicapped me, came up with pretty dumb questions till I figured out yeh MS Paint ka khel hai. You remember that programme?! We used it when we got our first computer sometime in 90's! The only thing computer was used for was to play Solitaire and PC Man, followed with Tetris in later stages and MS Paint. We were actually PROUD of our creations! Sheesh! Considering how bad I am even now, I can't even begin to imagine our efforts then!

Anyhoo, this is what the tag is about. -

You must use all the five words given to you by your tagger and draw pictures using paint or GIMP or any other photo editing tool.-
Each picture must be self explanatory when you relate it to the given word.
Each word MUST have at least one picture attributed to it.
None of these pictures should be copyrighted. By this I mean that you have to draw them yourself.
After you finish the tag, which will take quite some time; you need to pass it on to other people with a fresh set of 5 words.

I am doing a slight twist! Am going to try and add OUR non-copy right pictures along with my AHEM... creations! ;)

My words were Garden, Kebabs, Grin, Hair, Words

I hope the garden is KINDA obvious! And that's us at gorgeous Cubbon Park!!



Oh well! I Love Kebabs! Thats me (even in the "drawing") fat and satisfied afta having yummylicious kebabs at Barbeque Nation. Empty skewers are a mute testimony! :p




In Jain Parivaar there is no dearth of toothy smiles and grins! There Cubby doing his bit!







Errrr... Hair! Yeah thats what it is! Different hairstyles! And that's us giving Cubby his first haircut! Quite a momentous occassion! We feel like hair stylists n all! ;)






Words are now small ones, mostly! :) And thats ABC in Cubby's room. Not that we teach him any! Just to add some colour! :p



Hope you guys didn't fall off the chair seeing my artwork! ;)

Now the tough job of tagging others! That too come up with my own words!

I tag you peoples,

Puja - books, home, cooking, baby, friends
Mampi - teacher, shopping, movies, police, god
SnS - love, travel, dreams, celebration, food

Ok! I can't think of any more words. So, anyone else who is game, just go ahead and do it! I had a lot of fun! And aur kuch nahi toh mujhe sabko hassaane ka punya milega! ;)

ROFL esp the satisfied Abha replete with kababs . and of course Cubby shona - he has the most ethereal smile :)

Choxbox said...

very cute abha!

Vidooshak said...

My god, these were real GOOD drawings. Can't believe you doodled them with a mouse. After the closet poetry, yet another artistic facet of professional Abe revealed!

Yes, they did do full justice to the words. Especially loved the A for Apple drawing. Interesting box-baahar ka thinking. And we must do Cubbon park again. Probably do a picnic of all Blogging mommas in Bangalore-- the kids would have such fun!

Hope to see some more drawings soon :-)

Cuckoo said...

Wah! Wonderful sketches... one day your sketches are going to be auctioned for millions and MFH's legal heirs will buy 'em for their walls. Wait and watch :)

Cubby is turning cuter and cuter.

Lavs said...

Will try out this tag..sounds cool...can you pick the words for me please?
Cubby looks adorable..especially in that smile snap...makes me want to plant a kiss on those cute cheeks:)

Lord - paint and all huh? :D :D My art work will nowhere come close to any of those words you said ....and I will have to write a paragraph against each to make you all understand :D :D

I will do it with pictures instead :) Chalega? :)))

I loved that Barbeque Nation wala pic :)))) as in the painting !!

Indian Home Maker said...

This is so creative, love the idea of the pictures and the art work :) I am sure MFH is terrified of this Competitor!
I am also supposed to do this tag, as usual procrastinating :(

aMus said...

taaliyan, darling...that was good thinking...

good drawings (the hairstyles were awesome) a close competitor for attention were the photos, but i must say that i choose cubby over all of them :)

Smita said...

:D :D :D

U did it so well, I mean am taking mine as benchmark :D

Kebabs is too good...am sure you aren't all that fat...

Mama - Mia said...

Pretty good for a self-confessed technophobe! ;) Cubby seems to be doing great... touchwood and Godbless!

Unknown said...

Man, your good at this. Interesting and funny post :)

Monika said...

That was a very nice effort Mama Mia. I'll totally fail at a tag like this. Cubby's all white room looks so good with all that colour. :)
