Portrait...

A street artist in KL, drew this portrait of mine. I like to think that he saw my inner beauty when he drew this, as to be honest, only the eyebrows and double chin are mine, the rest belong to Rani Roopmati... not that I'm complaining, I love this picture to bits!!!

While he was drawing this picture a huge crowd had gathered to see the progress, from kids, to young boys and girls to older people all formed part of the crowd. It is really funny cause, people who were walking on the pavement would stop, look at the sketch and then look at me and back at the sketch. If I happened to catch someone eye there would be smiles all around.

All the while it was being made I was unable to see the picture, at one point, a horrible thought came in my mind, 'What if he was making a fool of me and drawing a picture of a monkey ?', like how whimsical artists sometimes do, so I asked my colleague as much, it was only when he assured me that the artist was really drawing a lovely picture that I could relax. The end result is for all see, it is a thing of beauty and I know for sure that I'm going to frame it the minute I land in India and this portrait of mine will be with me to the day I die...
