Footer Final!
Getting all set to spend almost the entire night for this game.
I’m not really for either ; I’m just looking forward to a good game, and some coke and pop corn with family…but if you really want to know, and if you insist, I think I’ll go with Spain.
See you soon!

“Singaara Chennai”
It means “Beautiful Chennai”.
It has now been almost 12 years since I left Chennai. After staying in Chennai for almost 30 years and spending all my childhood there, I miss the place dearly. Every once in a while, there is something or the other that comes up that takes my thoughts back to Chennai. I miss the people, I miss the culture. I miss Marina and Beasant Nagar Beach, I miss Saravana Bhavan… I don’t miss the sweat though , I get enough of that in Mumbai
I miss the swings in the verandahs, the smell of filter coffee early in the morning, the Hindu newspaper…
Here’s one for the typical “Chennai Mama” (the next door uncle)
He’s seems to have liked the coffee his wife made for him, and he’s making sure his wife knows!

Updates :-)
There seem to be many things going on around me. While there is a feeling of being a little scattered, I’m happy that there’s tons of work to do! And that’s keeping me going. Apart from my regular work, Illustration/animation projects that are currently going on are:
1) Researching on making a comic book. Though it is at a very preliminary stage (currently working on character designs), I’m finding it quite interesting.
2) Black and White Illustrations for a book of memoirs – stories based in Kerala, India
3) A set of cartoons on India
4) Two animated books for children
5) Two comic strips
6) Storyboarding my next animation film.
7) Other miscellaneous illustration work that I promised my daughter I’ll do
phew! I hope I will do justice to these projects. I’ll keep posting updates as we go.
Until then, here’s a wonderful link for cartoonists/caricaturists/comic book artists that I stumbled upon while doing research for my projects. Please click here.

Internet Troubles :-(
There has been an internet outage around here on campus. I’m posting this with my blackberry.
Good to be back here after a break. The monsoon seems to be just about setting in Mumbai, with a few showers now and then. Not the typical Mumbai type of rains, but enough to bring the temperatures down and clean the trees.
Nice to see fresh, green trees all around…
See you soon!

The Monsoon…finally!

After 30 years, the weather man's prediction about the timing of the onset of the monsoon has turned out right...Yaay!! ...But wait a minute... just this ONE DROP???
High Fives !!
Here’s a poster illustration done by my 12 year old son, Nikhil.
“Deforestation” and “Global Warming” celebrating with high fives as they look at a concrete jungle, while 2012 is looming large.
He really means it. He spent all afternoon making this poster. I promised him that I’ll put it up on my blog.
Guys, please help me help him — Please spread this message around.
Thanks!
