One Fine Evening at Home

A Quick Skech

A quick sketch of Daniel at my office.

Changing my career

I have decided to start my career in story telling. You know why? coz, Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work.

Here we go…



I’m your father. Who is this?



Maneka sex scandal. White tiger involved.



Will this do (lazy cartoonist asked)?



I never said that. Large please.



Second coming. Viji is missing.

Poster for CESVI

Photographed and Designed 12 posters for CESVI (NGO).

This cutie is a daughter of bonded labourer family in one of the rice-mills near 'red hills' (madras). this family is paid Rs.20 (0.40 $) per day.



We have over 60 million child labourers in India!. A large number of children employed as bonded labourers by the non-farming sectors like small-scale textile, firecracker, leather goods manufacturing, brick kilns and granite extraction units are from the families who are subjected to distress migration from the rural villages. In the cities, children from these families are employed as bonded labourers in restaurants and eateries or end up employed as bonded beggars or fall prey to sex trade.



And our great government has very strict law against for those keeps bonded labourers. The fine is only Rs.1000 (22 $).

2011 Calender for CESVI

Designed this 24 sheet table-top calender for a NGO. Had a great opportunity to travel down to some of the southern coastal villages, mostly affected by tsunami in 2004 to photograph little children from some of their centers.

Manapad

 

Manapad. A place that is very close to my heart and shall remain close forever. To me it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The calm water lashes against the shore and retreats silently. In the distance, small boats appear like tiny specks riding the waves. The beach is clean and silent; the absence of stalls is conspicuous. Red tiled white little houses. It is not difficult to imagine the peace that descends in the stillness of the night here.

This predominantly Roman Catholic coastal village around 70 km from Tirunelveli. I hope some day our tourism department will promote this wonderland. If you are planning to take a vacation next time to south india, visit and enjoy the beauty & tranquil that is so unique to the place.

Note: Be there on the hill in the afternoon. The colour of the sand and the sea and those little houses … AWESOME!
