Deeply saddened by the demise of my friend Sudhir Kakar, famous writer, universal scholar & “father of Indian psychoanalysis”.
I fondly remember our conversations about India & Germany, where he lived/studied.
Benefitted vastly from his knowledge.

Today, India sees the biggest elections in the world kicking off! It’s a festival of democracy & a great day for every single citizen that can cast their vote. I admire the logistical masterstroke making it possible for people in this gigantic country to express their will.
What happens if 4 eminent artists come together to turn a gallery into a living space for 15 days? I was able to find out today while visiting the fascinating Layout11 exhibition at Akar Prakar Art Gallery. Well done, LayoutCollective! I highly recommend a visit!

Whenever I stand in front of hundreds of forts, temples, palaces & tombs in India, I feel like time stops for a moment.
Buildings tell us stories about our history. We can read them, we can learn from them!
India is blessed!

Volume IV was a thought-provoking visual treat.
Martand Khosla seamlessly blends architecture and art when he reflects the challenges of uncontrolled urban growth.
In drawings, paintings, miniature doors and staircases, the city comes to life in his studio!
