Hi,
These are the little collection of my takes and misses.
Somehow, seeking out to capture, or rather set free
the bizarre dance of oceans, faces, streets, bodies,
colours and movements, I have begun to see that every
take I've attempted is a miss in some way and every miss, a take.
Perhaps in these misses, you will find some of my takes on light,
darkness, art, beauty, fear and life itself.
If you miss it, it will still be a take.
At some point, I realised that what I loved most was to be
swept into the eternally swimming kaleidoscope of sights. Since
then, every role has been an excuse to be drawn further into
It. Art Graduate. Illustrator. Graphic Designer. Advertising

Tramp or Music Student. Every place became a playground.
Chennai. Kochi. Palakkad. Singapore. Australia. Calcutta.
Varanasi. London. Mumbai.
Hounder through the red streets of Calcutta, beaten black and
blue in Varanasi, bundled out of swank offices, screamed at in
Breathtaking Bollywood sets, locked into penniless projects and
pushed beyond the limits. I have somehow managed to keep my
eyes on my take. Always the one man, zero budget, poverty
Prone, semi-starved beard grower.
And here’s what I have to show for this. A smorgasbord of
Curious stories. TV Commercials. Short Films. Documentaries.
Cinematography Explorations. Paintings. Fine Art Photography
Projects. Illustrations. Typography Experiments. Graphic
Designs. Brand Identities.
Medium, rare, done, overdone, half done, even undone. In
Different patterns, strokes, frames and pages.
Dig right in.
And if you like anything. Do pong me a ping.
