4 Seasons of Chennai Weather - My first comic

I have always been a fan of comics and recently had come across quite a lot being created like a hobby. Some of my favorites include Oatmeal, Cyanide and Happiness. Also some by bloggers like TamBrahm Rage and The Daily Dinosaur. So I got inspired by a theme drawn by Oatmeal for Seattle and I created one for Chennai :) The above mentioned comics are vera level. Mine is a simple one done using Pixton.

Movies 2013 - Good, Bad and Ugly

I know this post is probably almost a year late. But I want to make this an annual ritual. So before I do it for 2014 next month, I wanted to do it for last year which I skipped because of a very ambitious cross-country road trip while in US (I am still planning to do a separate write-up on that too. Hopefully won't have to wait another year for that). Here's the one for 2012.
