This scene is basically from my native where the elderly people sit outside their houses and pass their time. When ladies play 'Dhaya Pas' which is a game similar to Ludo while they gossip. Whereas the male talk about the news they heard about which will be basically politics. It has a routine of sweeping their door front and make 'kollams' which is called as rangoli. They gather around at a house, choose a 'thinai' (the place where they sit outside the house) and have a great time together. This happens after noon and they wind up before it gets dark to go do their household routines. The title 'Maalai Pozhuzhu' means evenings. I would spend my holidays at my native and this will be my view every evening. I decided to make this because the time I spend in my native has been reduced these years and I miss the old days. Even the elder people who play these have been aged and they don't play it anymore. I wanted this to be my lifetime memory and never to be forgotten. This painting reminds me of those beautiful days I had back then.
