Of Art and Abstraction
My poems are usually reactionary – meaning I write in response to incidents or scenes, or evens that move me or through me in a way that requires immediate outburst. I edit and re-edit my poems; then try to redesign the scratched-out portions into interesting artwork much like Tagore! My poems are therefore infrequent compared to my artistic pursuits. The creation of a painting or piece of art is a far lengthier process.
In Search of Shambhala
A young artist had come here all the way from Bengal, sat with his steaming glass of tea, taking in the serene grandeur around him. He had come to Naggar that very afternoon and was out for a stroll on the roads that snaked their way across the hill town. This is where he met a foreigner who is in quest of Shambhala.

Wasim R Kapoor
His respect toward his work and dedication toward art is exquisite. An evening with Mr. Wasim Kapoor will be forever cherished by me. As a writer myself, I will always remember what he said – Art is supposed to set you free.

The Magic of Meditation
People have lot of misconceptions about meditation. The simplest right answer is – Any mental activity where you are focused on one object, subject or thought for duration is meditation.
Dugga Dugga – Photography Exhibition

Women indulge in activities everywhere be it in sports field, farming, fighter pilot, vegetable vendor, construction site, household, chore, NGO, teacher, army and the list goes on.
Bhutan
Bhutan is among those rare countries who have passionately upheld their unique culture, traditions and have continued to safeguard their pristine environment.
Better Half
It was a night of heavy breathes; warm kisses and embracing. As long as the earth is moving and these two half souls reside, the urge of compiling into one will always be there.
