Chaiwalas

a chaiwala... dwelling under a tree... for ages... at times for generations! and so are the chai drinkers. and the most favorite with a cup of chai, is a wadapav. most perfect of all combinations. Dedicated to all chai n wadapav fans!

Indra Smriti

Indrasmriti is a small attempt towards remembering the most respected god from the Rigved, who is no longer worshipped as a god nor there exists a temple of him. The title speaks all about the project- remembering Indra, once again in today’s era.The idea originated as an opportunity for visualizing the dynasty of Indra. But as the time travelled more and more mysteries about the Vedic and the Hindu sanskriti were revealing. The thought of Indra was no longer an idea. It took a shape of its own.

It started evolving and revealing itself. Of course, the method which I followed made it possible.

This evolving and revealing process is never ending. As we can see numerous icons of Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesha, Ram, and just by looking at them we can state the icon. We tend to understand the character and recognize them. But Indra’s character / icon is not so visible through Hindu iconography.I have travelled from the Vedas to the Hinduism a journey of 5000 years, which I must say was the most exciting experience of my entire career so far. For this I would like to thank my Gurus, IDC and all the people who believed in me and supported me.Following are the pages of the book which I have compiled. For more information, contact me.

the Wall

a grafitti i did in IDC during the ICOGRADA 07. basically representing the flavours of Mumbai where the theme of the whole event was "Design Local"

An assignment i had done in my first year of IDC. the character of a typical politicial

equals to cactus... just a metaphor. i know cactusses are better than them. my take on

on the task of ruining India.

REJECTED WORKASMS !!!

a post after a long time

MY hard disk crashed. the worst tragedies u come across in ur life. i am in a process to recover it...in due course of time. i got a new hdd, for time being, working over it. so scanned a few sketches n thought of updating the blog. have been waiting to update it since a long time... time is timeless. long time is even more timeless. don't u think so? and this time has inspired me. so i wast time in doodling. and some time cribbing over "segate" a brand that makes so called good hdd drives. but useless in my case. i am n useless case, my mom usually says that. so i thought of buying an external casing for my hdd. but guess what....EVEN THAT PROVED TO BE USELESS...!!!! this proves nothing but useless technologies n my useless logic's.

so just enjoy my illustrations n if u feel like using ur hdd to comment..pls do that. guys, donot buy hard disks. thy are usless.

remember..... hate hdd

these are how pune(pune, a place in maharashtra from where i come from. my native. a small and beautiful city with small n unhealthy roads) roads are. i know i am talking completely out of context. but being out of context is a context itself. but who knows a context? please explain it to me. please do come contextual enquiry about context. and also about pune roads. the cycle, early mornin, i was it n sketched in 15-20 seconds , just added a cat near the cycle with milk container. my city is full of cats. so i added a cat in the traffic scene also. that doesn't mean that i like em. OK guys, irrelevancy is increasing here, Ill go.

chai (tea) time

a Clown

just a phase of my emotions.. was smiling and laughing but deep in my heart, the happiness was somewhere els...at some place...with someone....like this clown. he makes all smile as it is his job but deep under him, in his heart...hes is just lost. neutral about his real happiness. things and emotions around and in you do reflect your expressions.

the leather lounge bar

i hv done a series of six illustrations of beautiful ladies for a calender design of a bar of which u can see three. my goal was to create 'that' atmosphere of a bar. seductive, and a getting out a high feeling ven u look at them. at the same time improving my skillset was secondary goal. happy seeing!

the crow lane

A dream full of crows. A 'crowish' evening. you alone below a dim street light. and you become a crow for a reason. The Alchemy Happens. An Encounter with the real YOU.

doodles....they keep happening!

doodles keep on happening! i will die if i stop doodling around...!
