Girl and Porcupine: I came across a reel that went viral and has been circulating on social media. It was about a girl with her pet porcupine. Viewers were surprised to see not a dog or a cat, but a porcupine as a pet friend of this little girl. I often find animals better than humans, so I wasn’t surprised seeing these two befriending each other. The girl is walking at edge of farm fields and her porcupine is following her. In some other videos she is also seen petting and cuddling her beloved porcupine. The quills of porcupine doesn’t bother the girl, she accepts and loves her friend as it is.

This scene was so beautiful, it made me do a procreate drawing of it. I haven’t drawn or painted anything for months. I used to spend entire day and days doing my artworks. A person suggested me that I start doing artworks again, and do something though little, instead of doing nothing.

So here comes the “Girl and Porcupine”!

I saw the picture taken of sunset at Mars by the Spirit Rover at Mars, and I felt how space and celestial bodies must be appearing from other planets, apart from differences that must be there due to respective planet’s gravity, atmosphere, etc.

I did read it in literature, but it was only after coming to UK that I understood why winters are hated…

Rare are such couples these days who will stay with their partner, come what may. Everybody, no matter what gender, wants an easy cosy life. They do not want to build it together, let alone from the scratch. And they also don’t want to survive difficult weather together. What they do want is already available comfort and wealth. And they always have options ready to choose from if they find things too difficult for them. Together as long as joy and comfort are present. Growing old together is rarity. You will see couples, but what about two of them living as one. Not treating it like a business to have profit or loss from, but considering it as ‘us’, ‘we’, ‘ours’ whatever it is to be faced and lived.

I was placing my toys on table, I happen to place Orangutan in the background of a plane. I may not be able to put it in words the emotions I feel when I try to think about connection between humans and their ancestors (now extinct; and neanderthals) or other apes. This photo where you can see plane in foreground of Orangutan appeared much more than just a random placement of objects to me – I saw our past, from where we have come, from being apelike to inventing and building planes, and now we soar sky and beyond.
