Hand Doodling and simpler times

Today while sitting in camp feeling bored, I pulled out my black marker pen and started doodling on my backhand. A nice little doodle I might add! Very tribal, will post it on my blog if I bother later, heh.

It reminded me of a time in TJ, when me and Varun (Varun and I!)were playing around with our markers and pens and did simple 2-hand combo doodles.

2-hand Combo Doodles

2 simple pictures, one drawn on each back hand, that when revealed would pair each other in theme.

For e.g.

Hand #1: red and orange striped umbrella
Hand #2: raincloud

Hand #1: Green Chocmint icecream (with cone!)
Hand #2: puddle of green with chocolate bits

You get the idea.

It was so simple but yet so pretty :)

Life was so much simpler in school. Lots of free time to kill and lots of friends surrounding you to kill time with. So many times humming around the canteen, or in the classroom and filming riduculous videos, ah, good times, goood times :)

Then I thought about this isn't the only thing that has changed. When I used to see everyone in school (and because I know all of us stay late in school) we wouldn't need to "meet up" and a simple telephone call would suffice.

Oh how we loved to talk! Talk straight into the night, until our ears got hot from being on the ear peice for so long, and our throats slowly getting drier.

And some how we slowly traded them for meet up sessions, which are great too, but it takes too much planning and effort for each instance, such that we don't catch up on regular days any more.

With a whirlwind which was 2009 I'm ready to try and slowly take at the reins of my life again and get off my lazy ass to do what needs to be done to stay in touch.

One of my new year resolutions: to learn how to use the phone again :) keeping in touch is more than grand events and outings, I've got to keep things simple!
