I have revived my skills of painting after a decade. I am self trained in painting through practice. This is my first one in a decade, I did this last year (August 2018) And I am serious about painting regularly now.


This was inspired by the art piece on the wall of Tong Tong’s house in Pororo.

It was responsible for restarting by painting journey after ten years.

The Pairs of Hands

The Pairs of Hands by Annapurna Krishjeev

This is a poem I wrote on the eve of May Day in 2020.

Oh ! We Brutes

“And one day we shall eliminate the entire human race and establish the kingdom of animals on this earth,” said monster bear in a thundering voice.

“Excuse me” a small meek voice interrupted monster bear.

Monster bear had to stop. 

A small hand rose among the little wonders. It was Chingu. It wanted to say something.

“What is it?” Monster bear said angrily.

“How can we eliminate the humans? They are so intelligent,” said Chingu.

“That is the reason I am here, to educate you little brutes”. The voice of the monster bear sounded like a thunder to the young ones.

The little wonders had to accept that they are little brutes and in order to tell that they agree with the big bear, they all raised their heads high and responded in chorus

“Oh! We brutes. Oh! We brutes”

Monster bear was pleased with the response of the young animals. “So, let me continue.” Saying this the monster bear continued.

Oh! We Brutes

'Oh! We Brutes'

Friends, this is my new book, I published as an eBook on Google Play Books.

The journey of this book started in 2012 with a few dialogues between Chingu and the monster bear that I narrated to my son who was approaching his first birthday. My son, who could hardly speak tried to repeat the words ‘Oh! We Brutes’. I cherished that moment so much that I decided to write a book with the same title and present it to him, by the time he could read it by himself.

Initially, I started working on it, but as time passed, I became busy with my research work for Ph.D. In 2016, when I submitted my Thesis to the University, I revealed my dream of ‘gifting a book’ to my son. Few months later, on my birthday, the little boy of five years then, took his father to stationery shop and bought me a notebook to pen down all the stories I would like to include in this book. From that day, whenever, I told him any story, he would ask me if it was a part of ‘Oh! We Brutes and if I said ‘yes’, he would run for the book and a pen or a pencil and force me to write it down, before I would forget it.

Indeed, it was his continuous interest in this book that kept me going. I completed this book in 2018 and since then, I have been sending it to some traditional publishers. Some did not reply while one had rejected to publish it.

Recently, I decided to publish it as an eBook and searched on Quora https://www.quora.com/  for various options. I chose Google Play Books and published this book. I am grateful to the Google Play Book Team members, who have helped a lot in this effort and make my dream come true.

The front cover, back cover and other pictures in the book are photos of soft toys and other animal toys of my son. I used Forest Photo Editor app for editing these photos.

The Pairs of Hands

THE PAIRS OF HANDS

The pairs of hands those till the land

Till the land, those till the land

The pairs of hands those mill the clothes

Mill the clothes, those mill the clothes

The pairs of hands those lay the bricks

Lay the bricks, those lay the bricks

The pairs of hands those dig the mines

Dig the mines, those dig the mines

These are the hands those make the wealth

Make the wealth, those make the wealth

These are the hands those make our lives

Make our lives, those make our lives

But one thing that I understand not

Understand not, just understand not

Why these hands can’t feed their mouths

Feed their mouths, just feed their mouths

Why these hands can’t weave their clothes

Weave their clothes, just weave their clothes

Why these hands can’t build their homes

Build their homes, just build their homes

Why these hands have to dig their graves

Dig their graves, just dig their graves

Why these hands can’t make their means

Make their means, just make their means

Why these hands can’t make their lives

Make their lives, just make their lives

Just one thing that I understand not

Understand not, just understand not

Vitamin C

I created this drawing hand lettering during the lock down period, amidst the global pandemic of Covid 19. This is to create awareness on the importance of Vitamin C to boost immunity. The drawing illustrates a typical citrus fruit.
