Some Sketches

Rosa Parks

parks herself

(in a bus), 

Refuses to budge

and sparks

a revolution

that dredges

man from

the sludge - 

a disgrace

called 

race

I did the sketch and wrote the lines almost at one stretch. Reviewed it later. When I sent this to my friend Suresh Babu, he promptly sent me the photograph below - the very bus on which Rosa Parks registered her historic protest.

He had seen and photographed it in the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit. I had never thought that such a historical vehicle would still be there to see. Thrilled.

Here are some more sketches done recently - without similar interesting history, though.

I hope these speak for themselves!
