Two artists

The one in the centre was done by Ash, and the one on the left by Mira as their entries to join the Tapasiya School of Arts. While we suggested the colors for Mira, Ash did his own selection. He continues to humour us with his explanations about each sketch he does, which have been getting too numerous to be on the blog often - some are repetitive, some ingenious. But one thing about his sketches is that he never erases to make a drawing better - it is just one error-free effort, no looking back.

Meanwhile, our trip to Vellore on the weekend went fine. Reached a bit late, but we managed to see Ash's physicians and my orthopedician. While Ash got a change of medicines and a warning (for us; to him the doctor said that he can have fish if he allows wet wraps) that we start him on the immunosuppressant if his skin continues to be so bad and if he refuses to allow wet wraps on himself. Right now, his cracked skin is healing thanks to the antibiotic.

We need to go again this Saturday for the final verdict and solution, if possible, to the swelling on one side of my spine. Old age and arthritis catching up :)

On the return trip, we stopped at the well-maintained Rajiv Gandhi memorial in Sriperumbudur much to dad's delight. The kids had fun running around.
