Cut, Cut, Snip, Snip

Yes. You read it right. The cut and snip bug has caught me!

I was reading through some of my older story posts and I realized that they were spewed onto the blog as-is, on-the-fly. I mean, wow! I usually run my writing through at least a couple of iterations of editing (now) and I can safely say that there were absolutely none whatsoever! (then). I have decided to take things into charge and re-edit some of my posts to make them more reader friendly. Good for you *wink*.

First up - I had written Chronicles 1 and Chronicles 2 around 4 to 5 years ago. Just to remind you, this is a story about a little kid Shankar, his journeys and experiences. This was my very first attempt at writing a story. I feel that these 2 posts needed a bit of work. These are going on my drawing board again. Chronicles 3 and 4 stay as is.

Secondly - Many of you wanted me to put up my take on my poems. I plan to do that. You can see if your interpretations matched mine. :).

There, that is it from me for today. Will be posting soon. So here goes!

Have a nice day.

Best,
Suman

P.S. If you have a suggestion, a crib or just want to say a hi, holler back to me. I'm just a mail away. :)

Return of the Knight

The sun's presence was mild. The wind strong. Leaves were sent from their branches on their own journeys. The air made lovely swirls over the lonely land. Peace was disturbed by the howls of the wind. The coarse grain moved from underneath the horse's feet.

The rider eased off the beast...

His cape flew vigorously to his left. The scabbard lay still; but empty. He moved the cape away from himself and moved swiftly to the edge of the cliff. He clenched his fists deliberately. He stood peacefully though. The journey had taken him this far and he had a long way to go. The speech resounded through him as fresh as the morning dew. He had heard it days ago; through different voices. His Father had addressed the kingdom.

His gaze moved to the far reaches of the north-west. He could make out the outline of the fortress - magnificent and calm on the other side. He would reach there by nightfall. Dusk was on them and the moon was reaching out to the gray skies. His steed stood calm in the breeze. As he turned around to start off to his destination, the beast came to him. He quickly climbed on to the back of it. The steed pranced as if it were a sign of accepting its master's command and sped away in the direction of his new destination.

He was returning. Returning back to the Fortress of Solitude

Pencils : How to draw a ship sailing the high seas?

Ever felt fascinated by the navy and their ships? At least I have. I have always been fascinated about ships - be it the modern ones or the kind shown in "The Pirates of the Carribean". Of course the latter would be a bit tougher to draw!

Ok, so here goes. I present to you - MV LEGEND.



[With four artillery turrets at the front and a few more at the sides. State of the art communications to provide real-time information to the other operators in the sea. A helipad to move people and equipment for any land based missions. MV LEGEND could sail smooth in any kind of waters.]

Note: Going on a war would be injurious to your health.

May Peace be with you!
