It’s been a long time…
.. been a long time, Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Rock & Roll, Led Zeppelin Vacations seem to unsettle me. Now, dont get me wrong I love them like everyone else.

An afternoon in Ashulia
And now my “series” has a name! An afternoon in Ashulia. This makes it all of three pieces in my newly named series. 😀 The Ashulia Lady was accompanied by a gentleman and came down the road along with the garment factory workers. The two held themselves a little aloof from the others but stoppedContinue reading “An afternoon in Ashulia”

Paan khaye
I first noticed him standing across the road, arms akimbo, watching us take photographs. After a while he came over unasked and posed confidently for Anil.

This was one of my favourites for the longest time and Ramesh’s too, probably for different reasons. I’ve known that Kishori Amonkar is one of Ramesh’s favourite classical singers ever since I first met him. I found this photo ref of Kishori singing in the Maurya Hotel magazine. The minute I laid my eyes onContinue reading “Kishori Amonkar”

A journey begins
It all started thanks to my younger sister, Gala. I had taken some drawing lessons in Feb and was stuck on wanting to paint but couldn’t/hadn’t taken the first step. And it was around then that I came to visit my sister in July 2004. She sort of nudged me to it by giving meContinue reading “A journey begins”
