I live here ? So I ask my friends where does your home end ? how do you define your space in which you live the four corners of your room ? your apartment or the walls of your house ? So the air that you breathe within your house is different from the air [...]
Paani
Today another dream was rekindled. Paani. A film that has lived in my consciousness for almost 5 years, when I watched 50 women and children standing in the hot sun in Mumbai. Each carrying a bucket waiting for a tap to start dripping with water. Paani means Water in Hindi. I had just come down [...]

Something like 76 oils on canvas in the first 10 days. Or something ridiculous like that. It's crazy, but then so is the creative urge. I came back to [...]
