Take out all the tissue papers and disposable cups and start drawing now!!! Btw this also reminds me of wooden dolls...they are so much fun!!!

5) And life is nothing without beautiful nature around us...i just relax and forget all my worries after smelling a beautiful flower... just gaze at sky above...catch a beautiful butterfly in your hands. I can share with you some beautiful pictures i clicked while driving on highway in Gurgaon!..
