A day in Indian Express

Recently I was invited by ‘IE’ (Indian Express - Pune) to
spend a day in their office to make caricatures of their staffs. This was my
first attempt as a caricaturist. bit nerves with my first model, later I
find drawing a caricature is much easier than making an ‘egg omelet’, literally
takes the same time.

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.
