David and Goliath. There is a huge debate on at the moment about Dior copying work from People Tree and from what I can see. Yup it looks totally copied and not just ‘inspired’. And I am not condoning ‘inspired’ either. Just that Dior did not even make the effort to take an idea and […]
What a wonderful way to start the New Year! In Lonely Planet 2018 no less!! 🙂 Thank you Supriya Sehgal for reaching out to me and Joe Bindloss for your patience regarding the images. And even better is that I am in the company of a very dear friend Meghna Khanna of Levitate who also […]
Another new year rolls in and brings a future rich with infinite possibilities. So what am I going to do about them? I really don’t know. But I am looking forward to a fresh start. This is also the tenth year running for my blog. It has been a personal diary of sorts. It started […]
It’s interesting how with every interview some answers stay consistantly the same and some change. Drastically sometimes!

This paint splattered green kurta is about rebirth and renewal. It is the second ‘self-portrait’ in a set of three. I let so many negative people and things make me bitter for a while. But that bitterness started to hurt more than the people and things had. I am a positive person by nature and […]
I get asked this question at least once a day on an average – Why did I choose to make jewelry with wood, textile and elements of stained glass ( for the first edition) when I could have used semi-precious metal and stones? The answer is really very simple to me. It follows the principles […]
That black kurta speaks of the pain I endured. This next one I hope to be of healing. This olive green kurta is also about five years old now. It has seen me through many days and nights of painting. Every splatter is a subconscious mark or gesture of joy or frustration. There are deliberate […]
Insert here… In an earlier post I mention this black kurta that could probably replace me at events. What probably cannot be stressed enough is just how much this kurta has seen and been through with me. It is almost a metaphor for my life and milestones in a way. For almost all of the […]
