Do Re Mi

Music has been and will always be a stress buster for me. I'm not talking about just listening to music, but playing & singing - not for an audience but for yourself. There's nothing else quite like it.

As a teen, before leaving the house for Board Exams - while others I assumed were probably scrambling for their revision notes - I would calmly sit at my keyboard and play a few notes. My mother always tells me how amused she was by this habit of mine.

The thing about this habit - which I still indulge in - is that I do it in my own time, usually when there's no one around..and this brings about situations like the one in today's comic strip!

P.S. Sometimes I record some of the songs that I play/sing just for fun. If you want to give it a listen, go to www.soundcloud.com/tnapki

Monkey see, Monkey do

Young people are highly impressionable. They carve aspects of their personalities and behaviour based on those around them, be it their mentors, their friends or parents. Actually, now that I think of it, it may not be limited to young people, everyone has someone they look up to in some way or another.

This week (can you believe we've reached number 70!) we talk about how I "learn" something from Mr.Ninja and apply the same - well, mostly just to annoy him.

Nutty Nephew

Introducing my newest character - the Nutty Nephew. Honestly, I have so many funny nephew observations and quotes I could easily start a separate series for him. So be assured you'll be seeing more of him in the future!

Kids have an interesting perspective of the world and that's part of what makes this character interesting. Hope you like him as much as I did drawing him up. Cheers!

Nobody's Listening

Some of the best comical situations in life (and more so on screen) arise from misunderstandings. They could be silly, they could be serious - but a story comes out of it nonetheless.

This week we talk about one such scenario where filling in the blanks was highly required.
