Sometimes I get asked why I don’t ‘invest’ in ‘branded’ packaging. Why, when I ship out items I choose to use older packaging from purchases made by family and friends. Apparently, as a successful ‘brand’ I should spend more on the packaging. That the customer experience is led by good packaging like ‘un-wrapping a gift’ […]
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bobbee Singh of Old Delhi Motorcycles on ‘The Fusion Projects’ last year. We bonded over discussing the tank I painted for Royal Enfield. You can read about and see pictures and video of the collaboration with Bobbee here. That project was a breeze. I did not really have […]
This commission was difficult to do for myriad reasons. I could not refuse as a very dear friend asked me to paint it for another dear friend of hers. (You can see another commision done for the same friend here.) The time to finish the portrait was 4 days. I finished it in two!! And […]
I chanced upon this article quite by accident. A happy accident! What a wonderful way to start the day 🙂 Thank you Julian Manning, for the shout out in your Feb 2018 article in the HomeGrown on the Royal Enfield cafe in Goa 🙂 – “A special shout out to Aarohi Singh who killed it […]

But in those 18 months, she meant everything to Swati. Swati of The Color Caravaan has been doing stupendous work for many years now. We […]
As I mentioned in the last post, I made three dresses in two days on a recent vacation. Here is dress #2. This one was made with left over fabric from a kurta (tunic) that my masi (aunt) had got tailored at some point. It is made up of a lot of cut pieces. If […]
I got back from a much-needed break a few weeks ago. And while I did absolutely nothing the first few days, by the end I was itching to do something creative. So I made three dresses in two days! I will share them with all of you here in time. I sort of had my […]
