First up- Happy New Year everyone!! I hope this year brings you joy and happiness. 2012 flew by. Too fast. Too much happened… A lot of love and growth and a lot of learning. Between Poonchh and doing really large canvases, I realized my kitsch work had taken a back seat. It was a discussion […]
Literally. I actually did make/paint this cover 🙂 The Good Homes December 2012 issue celebrates everything that is art! To commemorate this special issue they asked three artists – Nilofer Suleman, Viveek Sharma and me 🙂 to paint what a ‘Good Home’ meant to each one of us. I am really thrilled to be in […]
Of all these inspiring women online… Archana Srinivas is perhaps the one person who has had the most lasting impact on my life. It was sometime in 2008, that I saw her blog – ‘Rang Decor‘ for the first time. And I loved it. And it was seeing how effortless she made blogging ‘appear‘ that […]
Next in this ongoing series of ‘Effortless friendships‘ is Rajee Sood. Rajee and I have been interacting with each other for over a year now. In fact, we share a common love of dogs 🙂 And she was one of the few people I shared The Poonchh Collection with, before anyone else even knew I […]

We made a video, the first of many I hope!! Reza, Supreet and I have been wanting to make a video for a while now. So the other day, Reza came home at about 10.30 in the evening, to just do some experimental shots and shoots. And he got a monster Canon 5D MK II […]
It was a pleasant surprise to find my work featured in the Chandigarh edition of the Hindustan Times (April 2012). Thank you to Puja Raina Mahaldar for writing a great piece celebrating ‘Hand painted fashion’. Click the image on the right to read more… Â
This April, is the 4th anniversary for BBC Good Homes, the Interiors Magazine in India. And they have gone all out, in redoing the entire layout of their magazine. And in keeping with the celebratory theme in mind, they asked a few designers and artists from across the country, whether we felt strongly enough about […]
The dogs took over 100ft from Feb 10-12th 2012. From life-size silhouettes to paw prints leading the guests in…. it was three wonderful doggie days. I met and interacted with old friends, made a whole host of new ones, and realized, there are enough people in the world who still care for those that can’t […]
