Guiding you to Sexual-Emotional Wellness through the use of Creative Psychotherapies, from a global Indian lens
An acting stint in a one minute film with just a handycam and a few table lamps about love.
The make-up is after multiple attempts at looking 45 years old. 🙂

The market is a breathing, murmuring, living organism.
It calls out to me.
Hands in curry powder. Paper exchanges. Dog eared notes.
Stains red.
Between rounds of tea and generous fistfuls of cashew I travel with her through her pockets of memory. She calls out to me.
Parvathamma, the lady selling spices in one by lane of this monster of a market leads a life of parallels. One fine morning I pointed at her life a camera lens in her face. She never refused.
Being her shadow was never too intrusive.
You do your work and I will do mine, she said. I sometimes look at her portrait and wonder if a life is stored in the shape of a face. Or in the wisps of the silvery greys of hair.
I offered her some money once.
She did refuse. Invite me to your wedding she said.

We dabbled in ink, with pens, brushes and paper trying to crack the frontier of synthetic biology.
Six months flew past, partly at the National Center for Biological Sciences lab and partly in our garage lab at Srishti as we isolated, transformed and ligated microbes, knowledge and new experiences.
When art became science and science, art and doing became knowing, I knew some boundaries had disappeared for me .
With my winter pursuits taking my time, I shall postpone explaining for later.
Until then, our online journal can be found here (our summer wiki) and our website-here.
We also have an Illustrated Handbook for iGEM 2009.
‘Item’, ‘Hot piece’, ‘Chick’ or ‘Figure’?
How else will you objectify me?

‘Hudgi’ refers to’ girl’ in Kannada.

Love creates.I, like most people am on a never ending search for it.
Mostly,its through ‘work’ that I seek it.
A desperate search for what gave me the most joy in terms of material and media.
Mixed, I discovered. And so, I indulged in the unfailing love of glossy magazine cutouts,watercolour,inks,wax and coloured pencil.

Emerged out of my love for spontaneity, a four imperial sized four colour composition.
With all my respect to the destroyer of obstacles.
For The Vizag Junkie. Out of respect for bird watching, green trees and Hyderabad rocks.
