Happy Birthday Aaie
My brother, Aditya and I gifted this custom-ordered oil portrait to our mother on her 60th birthday last month (Feb.15th). Well, it was mostly my brother’s idea who got it done and I just went along. Aditya liked this idea so much that he plans to give a similar gift to any relative who turns [...]

Hitler’s Art Collection
Hitler’s art collection goes online. It looks quite different from the cafe and the bedsheets they tried designing in his name in India. How long before someone vandalizes these just like his wax figurine at Madame Tussauds’.

Fun with Pie Charts

Superhero Priyanka
It seems like the good folks at Virgin Comics are working overtime at cranking out desi superheros. First they launched with much fanfare with an idea of tapping into our immense treasure chest of mythological tales. And then they even made Sachin Tendulkar into a superhero. Yeah, I know as if that dude needs any [...]

Krishna and the Cow
Talking about weird (or offensive) art, Mandar came upon this strange image in a small restaurant in the holiest of holy Hindu city of Benaras [hat tip: Ash]:
Now pray (no pun intended) why no stone-throwing and rioting in this small restaurant? Don’t give me the twisted logic of gau-mata and baby Krishna. There are plenty [...]

RIP Laurie Baker
Laurie Baker, the British-born architect settled in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala died today at age 90. Known primarily for his work in designing low-cost housing by using local materials, he was a source of inspiration to all those architects who wished to return to their roots [image source].

Sachin Tendulkar – Virgin Super Hero?
In a land that reportedly lacks serious heroes or role models, we feel the need to reinvent them constantly even when we don’t really need to.

Revival of Desi Comics
Book previews are something that I love about being a blogger; partly because you are gladdened that someone values your opinion. Of course, your loyal readers and even friends and family reinforce that opinion by visiting you everyday in hope of reading yet another of your posts however rambling and ranting they might be.
