So here it is...a Momo(Dimsums)/fast food outlet which is situated just a few block away from my home. It is a fast food outlet, a small shop that sells traditional Indian and Chinese food. Yeah no people outside..cause they are cooking for me. And yes I have tried to paint it as it is. I know the name TONDOOR should be TANDOOR but I have painted that just like the original one.

On  serious note, this is an evening scene. Everyday I cross paths with this beautiful place and I must admit I am tempted to paint this scene. From morning till night this outlet caters to the needs of hundreds of people who likes Indian and Chinese fast food. At first I found it very difficult to paint it since I chose a night scene instead of a day time scene. After I painted this scene I showed it to one of my dear friend and he told me that this painting as something in common with a few paintings of Edward Hopper. I never knew I had something similar to the paintings of the great Edward Hopper. So, I checked his artworks and I was literally blown away by his night scenes. He is one of my very favourite painter till date. Thank you very much to my dear friend Ramkrishna Paul for showing me the works of the great Edward Hopper.

Chhath is an ancient Hindu festival and only Vedic Festival dedicated to the Hindu Sun God, Surya and Chhathi Maiya (ancient Vedic Goddess Usha). The Chhath Puja is performed in order to thank Surya for sustaining life on earth and to request the granting of certain wishes.

This painting is a quick study of the Chhath puja which happened here in my home Guwahati, on the banks of the mighty river Brahmaputra.

It was magical...the wave of orange washing over the landscape and suddenly the old forgotten boat brightens up. A begger makes home in this abandoned ferry. He is waiting for the rain and he thinks the old girl will once again come alive. I will wait for that day to come and once again enjoy the elegance and beauty as it strides across the river water with pride.
