Arunita Barui’s Charcoal painting – Social media and me.

I’ve always thought of sharing my social media stories with my friends. But never did I share, for various reasons. Social media helped me with basic English language, speaking and presentation abilities, different speeches and workshops in Kolkata, Modelling in Sananda magazine, etc. Social media has gifted me feelings and memories to cherish … but what I am sharing right now, is an incredible feeling.

It feels incredible to present to you, a charcoal sketch by Arunita Barui. She is an incredible artist and she is a signed artist of Soul Vibes Records. I have come across her through Sayon and Debatma who are integral part of SVR. She is a friend of friend and I haven’t met her yet.

When I was trying out selfies (self shot portraits), she dropped me a message and asked for one of the photographs. I did not know how to react, but it felt good and I had sent her the three photographs which I collaged into the profile picture.

She is an incredible and choosy artist. I was surprised when she said, she does not generally sketch men because she finds them boring. I knew if she would actually do it, it would turn out to be something cherish-able. But this is beyond words and expressions. Incredible, outstanding, I don’t know what to say. Sharing with you – the original:

What I am feeling right now is an inexplicable feeling. I will carry this with me for a long time and might speak about such extraordinary person, artist and the sketch to my grand children !

This shows the city of Kolkata, with all its British era buildings, the ambassador Taxis’s.. the Tram and the hand pulled rickshaw.

And this is what she drew in protest of the rising rapes in the country:

If you find this incredible, share this on every social media platform you are in.
