During rainy season, when it's water water everywhere, we see dogs and cats and many other stray animals running helter skelter for finding just that one dry spot.....that one small patch of dry land/corner. It's quite the opposite of a weary camels' quest for water in miles and miles of desert all around......Just a shot taken near my society.....

Art experiment: A poster done for a flash mob- protesting against rapes
Merging a flat 2-d print, and then creating a collage out of newspaper cuttings- cuttings that all mentioned news of rape, molestation, sexual crimes etc.....and then, out came a lovely combination of 2d n 3d- a poster that was used to communicate angst against rapes happening all over. done with a young fresh team at lc media, this poster evoked hundreds of ppls comments/views/and also some anti- comments when it was used by a flash mob, which later converted into a rally. at new bombay. done and executed 2 weeks back. jai hind.

When you're a frog, you can't afford to be scared of the rains.
This goes out to all those entrepreneurs, all those mad hats, all those who are following their dreams. All those who believe in their idea...and are stuck to it like a frog stuck on a rock. Truth is, even an Airconditioner has to sweat it out to bring the cool air inside( see how it drips), even a deo salesman sweats it out to sell that first batch of his target...and even a matress salesman gets sleepless nights to make and close that one big sale. Hey, but it's your chosen path. Consider yourself blessed..for you're the chosen one. Jai hind.
My First wall-art experiment. In Collaboration with Artist Divekar
The tree jutting out of the municipal school was always there. Sticking its neck out, proudly, and yes, safely. It was very nice of New Bombay Municipal authorities that even while constructing the wall, they didn't cut the tree, rather they built around it. They saved a tree, and a life. Cut to the scenario we see n hear day in day out- of how greens are being attacked, chopped, and destroyed. Perhaps, i thought, this tree, if it could speak, would be shouting and screaming its lungs out- PLEASE SAVE ME, PLEASE PROTECT ME.
Well, a dash of colours, a master artist at work.......and here you see.
From idea, to execution to...a perfect Finish.
Concept: Ashish Vyas. Artist: Santosh Divekar.

When in emergency, pull gold chain.
Nowadays, it's become the easiest method for criminals to get a quick buck. It's like so casual now....that everyday just in Bombay, we have an average of 4 chain-snatching incidents. Looks like - they have too much inspired by the Indian Railways' safety/emergency chain. Bus- when in emergency( cash crunch) pull chain.

It just wasn't 'one more bench'
The General Phycisian in my neighborhood added an extra-bench outside his dispensary, so that patients who were flooding the premises, can atleast sit peacefully. n waiting patiently.
People coughing, shivering, pale, sick, groggy, weak, wrapped in shawls....just like any ordinary dispensary/hospital OPD.
It was that extra bench, a bench that's going to sit 6 more patients. It intrigued me. And why.
When one single doctor in this whole of India adds one more bench, this might be happening as a dominos effect.
1. Doctor earning 200 buks more.
2. One more prescription- one more cut.
3. One more MR will get some points/commission.
4. Chemist gets one more bill.
5. One more stockist, transporter, logistics manager, salesman, delivery boy get one more order.
6. One more unit of electricity used in the factory.
7. One more person will get the stamping/printing/ foil work.
8. One more technician/micro biologist would be assured of one more days work.
9. one more basis point movement in the company's stocks. Listed on NYSE, BSE,NIKKEI...etc.
10. One more quarterly results announced, one more percentage rise in the stocks.
11. One more investor happy he made money.
12. One more investor falls sick, hearing about his loss
13. One more Pharma company releases its results
14. Clap clap clap. Results are great.
15. One more guy, while clapping falls down. Injures himself. And is rushed to the nearest clinic. Of the same doctor who added one more bench today.
Repeat:
