Walking into the City Palace museum in Jaipur in December 2008, we were enthralled by its vast collection of displays of original parchments and ancient manuscripts of Hindu scriptures. Paintings of Mughal and Persian arts are also on display. While browsing the paintings, we imagined a date with history, where we walk down lanes once trodden by kings and princess, where battles were won and lost.
We were engrossed admiring Mughal paintings, when I was approached to have my portrait sketched by a famous artist of Jaipur. And I acquired an art piece more priceless than Van Gogh or Monet.

ReplyDeleteEzza,
ReplyDeleteKak nong minat tengok lukisan2 ni. Kalau masuk arts museum atau art exhibition boleh leka tak kira modern or contemporary. Many years ago kak nong pergi tengok original mona lisa tu kat museum the Louvre in Paris, tapi tak boleh dekat dan tak boleh snap photo. Tak lah berapa cantik, tapi senyuman nye famous...

Anie,
Bagi dorang cantik lah tu… siap ada tindik kat hidung. Kak nong tengok semua lukisan indian ladies especially yang high class or royalties akan pakai barang kemas yang sarat marat... Tapi hidup dorang terkurung, nobody can see them except husbands or family members…

Madam,
My goldfish tu now on medication, dah tenat sangat.
Last Christmas we went on 2 weeks holiday in Delhi, Jaipur and Agra and then we flew to Srinagar in Kashmir for a few days stay on the boat house at dhal lake. We visited the ski resorts at Gulmarg and Sonamarg. Kashmir is beautiful in winter and of course it will be more beautiful in spring when the flowers start blooming. I plan to visit Kashmir in summer next time…

Zino,
Aa ah.. agaknye semua rupa macam tu kot. Tapi hubby kata kat double chin tu ada iras sikit2 he he…

Hi Nong, that's a very nice sketch, a Mona Lisa of you, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit that place you went to as I enjoy read about various Religions.
You must have enjoyed the food there during your stay I guess.
You have a pleasant week and keep well Nong, best regards, Lee.
Lee,
ReplyDeleteMona Lisa of me? Jauh sekali he he...
I like to try local delicacies when I travel. That is why I will surely put on weight after a long holiday...
U take care too...
Tak ada rupe u. mungkin bila di reincarnate nanti...
