Mohit and Reena recently shifted from their Diamond District home in Bangalore to a new place in Delhi. They asked me to make a Khiladi table that would also serve to remind them of the fun times they had here in Bangalore.
I decided to make a table based on the rough architectural plan of Diamond District (DD). The central core has chess and snakes & ladders. The Main game is based around the walking path at DD. The penalties and rewards of the game are based on various parties that they attended or hosted and also on the personalities of their friends and neighbours. There is also a built in ‘?’ mark based game for their four year old daughter.
The flip side to this table has a complete felt base with four pockets to play a modified game of snooker/pool!
The pictures are a representation of just a small slice of their memories…

I recently had the pleasure of spending an entire day at Ramya and Bhupender’s place on the outskirts of Bangalore. As you can imagine, I could not have left without taking a picture of the table and the wardrobe!!

Just started doing portraits again. It’s been a while, so am kinda rusty. But, I think it turned out ok. Did many reworks on the same piece. I think it looks like Josh now, just a little older. I am hoping to do a lot more portraits. Hopefully by the 15th one, they will be bang on!!
It’s done in acrylics and is approx. 10×12 inches.

A warm thanks to Sushmita Biswas for a wonderful article in the latest issue of
The Telegraph. The article is called ‘ Designs on India’. It features many young and new age designers who are out to embrace everything that is Indian. With a twist of course!! It feels really good to be in such creative company.
