She wonders if you've wondered about the image of the
soulflower on the blog...
Well... what does it means to her? It's an incomplete bud... it's surrounded by protrusions (thorns maybe?!) It's her soul... always
searching... always feeling...
sometimes ensconced... always free... sometimes silent...
othertimes chaotic... sometimes dreaming... always observing... sometimes smiling... sometimes still..!
And this
soulflower has become a part of her... it's a tattoo now! Loads o thanks to 'Russell', the person who did the tattoo! Russell's studio has an aura all it's own. located in a silent sleepy part of
Bengaluru called
Kamanahalli, the studio is a artfully placed a few steps from a coconut tree in the centre of the road! With a
Tibetan shawl as a curtain and a wall with an angel fairy rising from the flames... it mesmerized you the minute you walk in! The walls are his 'guestbook' with scrawls from all
happy customers! You don't have a choice.. you will be
happy once you go to him!! A tattoo is yes not
painless.. but
definitely (agreeing with a wall
scrawl here) less painful than getting eyebrow threaded! (n you have to be a
girl or totally kinky to know that pain!) :D
A lighting engineer for the concerts like Whitney Houston's.. Russell turned to tattooing
jus coz he was bored with life! Got himself a motor, and other tools and built himself a tattoo drill! Lo and behold! Has 15
tattoos of which several have been a self
tattoo... and 1 is in progress... the description of the in progress.. 'a dragon... another dragon below it.. and castle in ruins... flames.. darkness...the entire landscape!' He knows his stuff so well that there's jus one word to describe him: "Brilliant!" (Thanks Russ! :) )
Here's the work of Art! :)

Well.. the thereafter found her helping the Barwala move and setup house! It's a lovely place on the rooftop and for theirs to use for barbecues, beer and Floyd nights! :) She figures she was too much help coz by the end of it the market at the new place and the landlord all thought she was his 'wife!' (a voice inside her went meep.. double meep... meep meep and more meep!!!) :D
