Vandana, I am so glad to hear that! I had unfortunately forgotten to collect the Ganesha on my last day at work :) regarding your caricature, I'll surely give it a try.
Anoop, you don't seem to approve of my recent efforts on birds? what can I say? I am still learning :)
Saw an Egret earlier now a heron..!! Sameer are u into birdwatching ? If so let me know how do u identify an egret: Intermediate/Little/snowy ? Shot this last month in India still wondering whats the bird ID: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bojanki/89189749/
Bojanki, I think the birds in your photo are either the 'great' egret or the 'intermediate' egret. my knowledge abt birds is rather limited.. but I googled abut egrets and learnt the following facts abt identifying them.
Snowy (or little) egret : dark bill, black legs, yellow feet, shorter than the rest.
Cattle egret: yellow bill, dark legs and feet, swollen throat; short, thick neck, orange/dull brownish shade on plumage.
Intermediate egret: with a relatively shorter neck than great egret, and a gape line that does not extend behind the eye. The plumage is all white. height abt 70 cm, upper legs are yellow, and the lower legs are dark.
Great egret: height abt 1 meter, rather long neck, has all white plumage, has yellow bill and black legs and feet.
you should check birds.cornell.edu and wikipedia for more info.
Anoop, i misunderstood your comment. thanks for the compliment abt the caricatures..

what is there for me to approve or disapprove? what I intended was, u do caricatures superbly compared to sketches like that of birds..
