Outdoor sketches besides being a lot of fun, have the power to rediscover the beauty of places that have lost their charm because of over-familiarity. When somebody in Pune mentions Mandai, people think vegetables, the maddening crowd, the cramped little lanes, the horrors of trying to find a parking place, the annoyance of having to go there on an errand...
In the midst of all this, the inherent majesty of its architecture is easily lost... Park your bike across the street, pull out your sketch pad and there's a good chance you'll find it again...
