Warli Artwork

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1D3VX2ha6GGHvutibd_QWOPefNxbcUwY5Stepping into Warli art has become a quiet, powerful extension of my sadhana, where each triangle and circle turns into a small act of devotion to Lord Rama, Hanuman, and the world of village life they protect and bless.  


## Discovering a new visual language  

- My journey into different art forms has always been tied to inner exploration—writing, photography, and painting all help me understand myself, my faith, and my purpose more deeply.  

- Warli has given me a **language** that feels both ancient and fresh: a tribal idiom rooted in simple geometric forms yet capable of holding vast stories from the Ramayana and from rural India’s everyday rhythms.  


## From canvas to iPad  

- In the hand-drawn canvas with multiple scenes and figures, I could slow down, layer narratives, and experience how a single epic like the Ramayana can unfold as a continuous frieze of devotion, battle, and grace.  

- Moving to the iPad for the second painting allowed me to refine lines, experiment with composition, and discover that even digital tools can carry the same bhava when my intention is to offer, not perform.  


## Ramayana in Warli lines  

- In this series, Lord Rama, Shri Hanuman, and their companions become stylised Warli figures—triangles for torsos, circles for heads, spirals for tails—yet their stance, weapons, and gestures still radiate courage, loyalty, and bhakti.  

- The simple visual grammar lets me focus on essence rather than ornament, turning each panel into a distilled meditation on dharma, friendship, and surrender, whether it is Rama blessing Hanuman or the vanara sena moving through forests and rivers.  


## Painting as devotion and meditation  

- Every stroke in these works is my seva, a way of serving my deities not just with flowers and mantras, but with time, attention, and creative energy shaped into form.  

- Because a single Warli story painting takes days, sometimes weeks, the process naturally becomes like **meditation**—my breath syncing with the lines, my mind learning to stay with the smallest detail until it feels complete.  


## Joy, discipline, and sharing  

- The long hours I spend composing scenes, balancing figures, and refining tiny elements keep my faculties alert: eye, hand, and imagination stay in constant conversation, sharpening my focus instead of draining it.  

- Above all, there is a quiet happiness in knowing that when someone looks at these paintings, they may feel a spark of the same joy, devotion, and stillness that I experienced while creating them—and in that shared feeling, my art finds its true **purpose**.

Ichigoichi

Image
  This Japanese mindset will make you love your life again. Have you ever felt like life is slipping through your fingers, like you're rushing from one task to the next, one achievement to another? But, somehow it all feels empty. You might scroll through your phone, binge, watch a show or check off goals on your to-do list. But deep down, is this lingering question -  Is this all there is? It's a heavy thought, isn't it? But what if the problem isn't life itself. But the way we're living it.  Today, I want to share with you a Japanese mindset that could completely transform how you experience life. It's called Ichigoichi, which roughly translates to one time, one meeting at its core.  This philosophy teaches us that every single moment we live is unique,  fleeting and unrepeatable. Think about that for a second. Every interaction you have, every sunset you watch, every cup of coffee you drink is all happening for the first and last time.  ...

Tipsy : Marilyn Monroe of Desserts

Image
A Historical Overview Tipsy Pudding, often associated with the British colonial era, has a history deeply embedded in the culinary traditions of the United Kingdom and its former colonies. Originating from the classic British dessert known as "tipsy cake" or "tipsy pudding," this dish was first popularised in the 18th century. Its name derives from the use of alcohol in the recipe, which was believed to "tip" or intoxicate the pudding, hence the term "Tipsy." The pudding’s basic components include layers of sponge cake or ladyfingers soaked in a mixture of alcohol (typically sherry or brandy), which are then covered with a rich, creamy custard. This combination results in a dish that is both indulgent and sophisticated. Global Presence As British influence spread across the world, so did Tipsy Pudding. Its presence was established in various regions, particularly in former British colonies where it adapted to...

Adventures of an Injured Spine at Base Hospital

Image
It was a crisp, bright morning, the kind that makes birds chirp cheerily and humans contemplate existential questions. I had landed — quite literally — in the confines of the stately Base Hospital , a military establishment that takes the phrase “on your back” rather too literally. My L4, L5, and L5-S1 discs had decided to play musical chairs with my nerves, resulting in what medical professionals call PIVD and what I call PAIN IN VERY DAMAGING-PLACES . In other words, I was horizontal. Flat out. Immobile. Reduced to the noble state of a beached whale, with all the grace and elegance of a potato in a tuxedo. Now, let me clarify — this fall wasn’t a result of any valourous military endeavour, or a duel over honour, or even a particularly slippery banana peel. No, it was far more inglorious — a mundane tumble with all the drama of a fall interrupted by gravity at 9.8 / m sq. I kept neglecting my condition for a month and landed up here in Base Hospital.  ...
