…has gone through stages.

I arrived in UK in August 2002, to work as a doctor and hopefully, make some progress in my career. With time, I had the opportunity to buy a compact camera, which was then upgraded to a DSLR and finally it was my phone camera when I realised that the type of photographs I ever liked were candid ones. I have a distinct memory from the time I was a teenager looking at street photography in a newspaper magazine in India; so that is in many ways turning a full circle.

Somewhere on the way, there came sketching and drawing, for which I have never been formally trained apart from a rather distasteful spell of three months where I learnt under a rather rigorous teacher how to draw basic shapes and sizes, animals and houses. Over the last few years, I have tried to self-teach painting, at times rueing the fact that I should perhaps have had some formal training in draughtsmanship.

Finally, after a lot of thought, not least because of the investment involved in terms of finance and time, that I took the plunge to develop this website. I hope my love for the arts is perceived through what I have displayed here. I will be happy to know what you think of my untrained efforts and will welcome constructive criticism to help me grow.
