Exploring Music

These days when I haven't got anything serious to do, I browse a lot. While doing so, I chanced upon a site a few days ago which although is for rock n roll music, but caters to a wider variety of music from different regions across the world.

The blog also runs a monthly carnival in which the owner of the site calls for contributions. The theme of each issue is pre-given. I sent one of my pieces from my site, which was accepted for the carnival issue. Do have a look at not only the different interesting contributions but also feel free to explore the site. You wouldn't feel disappointed.

The site's URL is http://www.soulofrocknroll.com/

The current carnival issue's URL is http://www.soulofrocknroll.com/?p=206

e - Exhibition

While cleaning my old stuff, I surprisingly found my once-lost sketch book, which is almost 12-13 years old. The moths have started preying on the book. The pages are torn too from the sideways. I thought it better to take the pictures of my "childhood skill" (pun intended) and put it here and share them with you guys. If you find that I was inclined to sketch female faces more than anything else, blame it on my "growing-up" phase. :D Enjoy:
