The Unquenchable Kashish-- Book One...

This is my first sketch book which I started in my college days. I signed those sketches with my 'takhallas' .."anjaana" or the 'stranger'.
The central idea of all the sketches in this book was to capture the 'kashish' in the eyes...the unquenchable Kashish(Passion)..
Please view below ....and follow those eyes....drawn by me, sumran jot singh 'anjaana'.


............................................

" Look into my Eyes..."

Here, I tried to sketch 'Rekha' , the enigmatic actress. Least to say, you dare look into those seductive eyes.


The jewel laden bridal attire added to the mystery behind her look, something hidden , something revealed. I designed the Saree myself , giving it random patterns...

"Tell me the Truth..."

I tried to give it a rustic, ethnic , contemporary design...letting the eyes ask you a question..."tell me the truth.."

The Wait..

" Roz akeli aye ,
Roz akeli jaye,
........Chand Katora liye....
...........bikhere raat ..."

And the wait continues....

" May be..."

This is a clean stare, an empty vastness in those eyes, deep, serene, restrained. May be.

"Khushboo....."

"The fragrance of the flower,
the clouds that shower...."

'Jhuki Jhuki Si Nazar."

One of my favourites ....those eyes looking down, pure passion subtly told.

The Legacy....

" हजूर इस कदर भी न इतरा के चलिए .......दबे पाँव आँचल न लहरा के चलिए..... "

"Kuch Na kaho "

"कुछ न कहो....कुछ भी न कहो.....
क्या कहना है.....क्या सुनना है....
तुमको पता है...हमको पता है...

समय का यह पल ....थम सा गया है....
और इस पल में कोई नही है....बस एक तुम हो....बस एक हम हैं"

" The Sleeping Beauty."

" रात की हथेली पर...चाँद जगमताता है ...
उसकी नरम किरणों में....तुमको देखता हूँ तोह .....दिल ठहर सा जाता है। "

The Silence...

"खामोश दिल की धरकन ....चुप सी तन्हाई...
लो झुक गया आस्मां भी...जब तुने ली अंगराई..."

Great sketches. Great Art. I mean I had seen your work earlier too and had admired them too. But seeing them all over again was truly an amazing experience. I don't find that it needed any more perfection than it already had. Great work once again.
My wife pays you her compliment too. She's just seen the sketches and was blown by it. She thought at first that the sketches were by a professional !! Anyway she is taunting me now by saying that what talent do I have ?? Rough times ahead for me !!!!!!

Here I am, with some things to say about the sketches which were created by Anjana long back during the kash-m-kash of his life.
"D best thing in all sketches is eyes and lips.
How beautifully have u given shape to eyes that they litrally do the talking......
Amazing!
One can really live and feel what they are saying without uttering a single word.
Superb!!!!!
Rekha sketches, I liked them the most..."
Keep going!!!!

Excellent sketches, I also do sketching.. Would like to add that you need to improve the NOSE formation in your sketches.. I may not be good in observation but wished to tell.
