My latest work “A Bostonian two-masted schooner” is a ship sailing near the Castle Island, Boston. I used the Impressionistic Style, so the faces of the people are blurry and the colors maintain a fairly dark shade to demonstrate the play of light. Castle Island is a place where you can not only play and […]

People sometimes ask me what plans do I have for the weekend. And what do I say? Do I go shopping? Do I stay at home? Do I go places? Travel? Play? I say, “Nothing.” That’s it. I’ll tell you why. In my opinion, planning is for the weekdays. On the weekdays, you know what […]

About three weeks ago, I added another twist to my previously known Cracker Pizza. The one twist: It’s more like a real pizza. For example, in the old version, I used a cracker as the base and then added sauce and cheese. This one has bread as the base and then has pesto and cheese with varying toppings. […]

Today, I started my 7th grade year. I was excited to return to school, while at the same time, I wished I had more vacation. Leading up to this day, whenever anyone asked if I was excited to be back in school, I almost always said “No”. I thought that there should be some more […]

So, we decided to both do the same object, but from a different perspective. This way, we could both discuss our paintings and […]

Over the summer, during my two-month long trip to India, I got my first experience of a typical Malayali wedding. It was my  uncle’s wedding. In case you do not know what that means, it is a wedding of the people originating from Kerala, a southern state in India. People from Kerala are called Malayalis and they speak […]

On Friday, 17th June, 2016, I finished my sixth grade year. It was a tremendous year at school. I would like to thank my teachers and friends for helping me get through the year, and adapt to the pressure that would occasionally mount. Some of the biggest moments of the school year included Lego Robotics (City and State), Band, […]
