some unexpected street art
Malleshwaram is considered by many to be one of the last bastions of South Indian tradition in an increasingly cosmopolitan Bangalore. Dotted with temples and eateries, this is the last place one would expect to find artwork typical of 'Bohemian' haunts.
And yet, I stumbled upon some amazing street art today near the 18th Cross Bus Stop. If I ever meet this guy, I'll ask for lessons.

on smoking
“Smoking I find the most ridiculous of all the varieties of human behavior and practically the only one that is entirely against nature. Can you imagine a cow or any animal taking a mouthful of smoldering straw then breathing in the smoke and blowing it out through its nostrils?"

I sometimes wonder exactly how humans discovered that setting a certain leaf on fire and inhaling the smoke could give one a rush in the head. (This was drawn a couple of years ago. Sources tell me it's still hanging on the wall of my cubicle at the former workplace.)
