Drawing from the Local, Local Drawing and Drawing the Local

An enthusiastic crowd makes a thoroughfare between the gates of Mumbai's lifeline creating a chaotic rhythm, humming with the swaying relay of the EMU Locals.Day in day out the diverse flock continues to make an impression.

Appearances make their presence felt with a fleeting flock gusting into the burgeoning relay of swaying EMU locals. Each day numerous faces show up creating a gallery of heads with varied viewpoints either seated on the planks or lined up holding the handle bars.

The encounters are a juxtaposition of sweaty necks, oiled hair, smelly armpits, and what not... a complete package tour of sensory experiences totally cost free. To garnish are the banal expressions of disgust and hassle. A rush for a safe seat, a push for the fourth couch to rest your pair of pelvic bones, a passage through the jigsaw of seated knees to find a convenient leg space to stand and many more spatial arrangements enhance your sense to compose your height and weight in the given 3D axis.

With a timely leap one manages a probable seat where he tries to either complete his slumber or screen the daily. Some smartly and stubbornly manage to eat few novels too. A mixed crowd of office goers and working class flocked together marching towards the destined bread winning.

A heterogeneous mix presents the variety in ethnic features and characters. Each characterized by the tinge of occupational tan, dressed economically, and scented with the urge to convincingly suffice the daily chores. The present drawings attempt to draw the local, from the local, of the local being locally local. Hope you enjoy the viewership!
