[Girjesh’s] Worries


Artist: Girjesh

Something that I’ve found interesting after seeing many of my friends draw pastel drawings is that a common theme for people to draw about is their worries. Over the next few posts, I want to show three pictures that have exactly that theme.

The first one is drawn by Girjesh, who is more commonly known by his friends as “G.” G is likely my smartest friend. We were both in physics together (G was specifically in Chemical Physics, Joint Mathematics), and we spent a lot of time together battling our Quantum Physics 3 class. G was of course a great friend to work with, but it was his criticisms of the academic world which I sincerely appreciated. He’s currently doing some real physics at the National Institute of Scientific Research at the university of Quebec.

G’s picture shows some of the worries that he was feeling the day he drew it. Starting in the top left corner and proceeding in a clockwise manner, his worries were:
  • Money
  • Death
  • Family
  • Happiness
