• We are connected

  

  The train is chugging along. We’ve booked seats in the AC compartment- the windows are sealed, so, you can’t open them. Since it is the monsoon (rainy) season, it’s cold in the compartment with the AC on. So, I step out with my husband to take a break from the AC and I stand in […]

• Art: Ganga Aarti

  

  It took me four and a half months to complete this painting- not because the painting was tough but, because I always found enough excuses not to sit at my desk and paint- first, I complained that the weather was too warm to paint. Then, when I moved my desk to a smaller room with […]

• NaPoWriMo : Day 23- ‘Home’
