My wonderfully talented friend and fellow blogger Lavanya gave us (her version of) a portrait of the Boy and me as a wedding present.
I love her artistic ability. I love how painstakingly she has detailed the picture, adding the little silver evening bag she and I shopped for together. I love how the Boy looks like Rohinton Mistry in this version (he doesn’t really, but I think I prefer him on paper). I love how pictures speak louder than words and this one screams ” OJ IS SKINNYYYYYYYY!” like nobody and nothing else will.
So here’s us, now hope over to her page and tell her I said hello. Ooooh, will ya look at that teeny-tiny waist?

If she has drawn it, then it must be true. Pictures do not lie and all that.
She is super good 🙂

Very good likeness, absolutely stunning art.
Pretty awesome!
what a priceless gift..and yes, the Boy does look like Rohinton!like the contrast of the Taj with the skyscrapers.
Absolutely amazing!
This is incredible
Left me inaudible
Exquisite detail
Words do fail
But the picture remains indelible!
What an amazingly talented artist your friend is! Wow, wow and WOW:)

Since I actually know what the “boy” looks like, this is even more awesome! So how’s the North America move been for you so far? Looks like you having fun!

M….: I wish, hon. She couldn’t fill up all that paper with just my frame, hence the skinny me.

Kavana: Hey missy, how’s it going? All set to move?
Dev: She’s done it all with a gel ink pen.
