<div style="background-color: white; float: none !important; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 0px; width: 861px;">
I bring back many things each time I travel—ticket stubs, maps, snow globes, and more memories than my brain can hold. They’re all precious—and occasionally hilarious—but some of these recollections stand out more than others. They are brighter, bolder, more visceral, as if they are recorded in high-definition. They are also, I realise, accompanied by an unusual feeling. Like an almost-epiphany that’s been niggling at me for some time now.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; float: none !important; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 0px; width: 861px;">
The first time I felt this way was in New York a few years ago, where I went to a concert at the Yankee Stadium by myself. I tried to convince myself that the night would be great even though I was going solo but the words “loser” and “OhMyGodWhyAmIDoingThis” played on loop in my head as I rode the subway to the arena. Self-conscious level: Maximum.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; float: none !important; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 0px; width: 861px;">
When I got there, I started chatting with the girls sitting next to me, then the opening act started, and before I knew it, we were dancing in the aisles and harmonising to the chorus of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me A River”. Somewhere between “Pusher Love Girl” and “Empire State of Mind”, I had this out-of-body moment, as if an alarm went off in my head reminding me to absorb the details of this experience. At the time I couldn’t be bothered because Alicia Keys had just come on.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; float: none !important; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 0px; width: 861px;">
It happened last year too, when I went on my first safari to Ranthambore with my dad. Our guide was telling us about the national park’s forests, as our jeep followed a small stream that flowed quietly among the trees of banyan and <em>jamun</em>. A hush fell over us, and for the next half hour, my dad and I communicated wordlessly with each other. I’d draw his attention to a luminous yellow bird in a nearby tree with my eyes and he would gesture with his head at an emerald-coloured bug that was scurrying along on a leaf next to me. Despite the excitement, I could still feel the same gnawing tug I felt at the music concert.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; float: none !important; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 0px; width: 861px;">
I finally figured out why this year, when I was on holiday with a few of my friends in the Andamans. At the time, I had my toes in the warm waters of the most beautiful beach I’d ever seen: the crescent-shaped Radhanagar beach, flanked by thick forests and a blue sea so bright, it hurt the eyes. Like many beaches in the Andamans, Radhanagar is in the business of stopping you in your tracks but that Thursday in January was particularly stunning.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; float: none !important; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 0px; width: 861px;">
As the day drew to a close, the sky took on shades of orange, pink and bruised grey. The sea was blanketed in ominous clouds, save for a small gap, through which a few blazing rays of sunshine beamed, setting the nearby hills on fire.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; float: none !important; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 0px; width: 861px;">
I was lazing in the warm shallow waters as my friends tried body boarding (and wiping out admirably). Nearby, a little girl squealed in delight as her dad walked her deeper into the incoming waves, and for a few minutes a dog came by and gave me company. And that’s when I felt it: It was like something was anchoring me to the ground, as if the Universe was telling me that this place was important to me for some reason.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; float: none !important; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 0px; width: 861px;">
These the-planets-have-aligned-to-bring-me-here moments occurred at times and places when I was discovering new things about the world and myself. In Radhanagar, I’d spent the week getting my beginner’s diving license and acquainting myself with the magnificent underwater world. It was like I’d unlocked a new level in a video game. Perhaps, this is why my brain created a mental marker for me that evening at the beach, which was the culmination of that trip. To remind me that stepping out of my boundaries had brought me here.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; float: none !important; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 0px; width: 861px;">
In Ranthambore, I had entered a forest for the first time. Immersing myself in its giant, humming ecosystem, that was more complex than anything I could wrap my brain around, humbled me. It made me realise how much I still had to learn about the planet, a feeling that was reiterated in the Andamans.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; float: none !important; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 0px; width: 861px;">
And as for the concert, that was my first truly solo outing. I’d been to the movies alone but that night of dancing and singing with strangers taught me how much fun it can be to experience something just for me. Each of these experiences opened new doors for me and showed me new worlds. They shaped and continue to shape how I travel.</div>

<i>Children in India are conversation starters; sometimes they
are like the barbecued meat that makes its way through wine chalices and
awkward talks at family gatherings. “Show them how to dance”, “Sing the song
you were singing yesterday”, “How does dada
laugh?” and so on. Come on, they aren't clowns and certainly it’s not their
responsibility to start a conversation.</i></div>

I recollect so many such instances as a kid when I was asked
to dance, sing and imitate someone, I enjoyed it all because I loved the reactions
I would get. It would be even more special when someone would ask me to do it
over and over again. But as I grew older I realized, I was made to do uncanny
things just so that some conversations would start at an otherwise boring
gathering.</div>

We take conversations very seriously. Sometimes we have got
nothing to speak or ask at all but we still do because we are obliged to. And
mostly we forget that conversations are natural, they are stubborn feelings which
take time to evolve. They aren't time gap fillers or deep fried munchies
cackling in a quiet room.</div>

rocket science. Some people like to keep it exceptionally intellectual and some
try to keep it humorous with plain tongue-in-cheek comments. That’s not conversation.</div>

Sometimes conversations are loud yet meaningful, they have
something that bring people together. The best ones start with no intention or
inhibitions; they are free like the sky and blotted like the clouds. The most
beautiful ones are simple, warm and quiet. The most humorous are full of wit
and smiles; irrespective of your geographical existence.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's beautiful how Kyoorius, India's most carefully curated Design Magazine and website has been chronicling my journey for the last six odd years. Here is my piece in their 'Opinion' column on my most recent escaped to Morocco. This piece is more about the design aspect. I am sharing some more pictures specially for all of you.</span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was grinning as I glanced out of the aircraft window and saw a place that I had only seen on Discovery Channel. Its aromatic cuisine and bustling streets were all going to be right in front of me in a few minutes. Flying through those three continents, from one country to another, that academic degree from a design school seemed even more trivial now. There I was, standing with a box of colours in a strange country, to showcase my work and translate anecdotes into visual journals; no different from what I had made at 9 years of age with coy brush strokes hardly visible on canvas.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Art was introduced to me by my grandfather, and a very special teacher who came home and painted with me. My mother had introduced me to cooking when I was very young. You might wonder how these two things are even remotely connected. It was incredible how my parents nurtured my art and love for cooking.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">In India, art and design residencies are still finding their feet and are often caught between commerce and infrastructure, however they are quite common in the West. All sorts of people participate, immerse themselves in the spaces and collaborate with each other, in turn making these ideal networking opportunities. For me, it was a way to identify my calling.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was invited for a month long residency at <a href="http://www.theultralaboratory.com/" style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; color: #417ba5; font-size: 16.7999992370605px; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Ultra Laboratory</a> in Casablanca, for artists and independent art spaces focused on research and experimentation. Rita Alaoui, a contemporary artist and bookmaker, founded this residency a few years ago. Rita had patiently gone through my project proposal when I wrote to them to take part in the residency and we instantly connected when I spoke of Indian cuisine. There was one more connection between us, which we figured out much later – a love for making books. Through the residency, I got to experience many other things which were far more interesting than illustration. Sharing some of my mom’s and grandmother’s secret recipes in the workshops which I conducted not only helped me earn a livelihood in Morocco during my stay there, but also became a conversation starter. It overcame language barriers and spices became my language.</span></i></div>

On the evening of the show, I was thrilled to see people from all walks of life exploring my books and to find that they did not need my help to interpret them. They came from a very different culture, and it would seem as though we had nothing in common and yet we had so much. </i></span></span></div>

Working independently does have a down-side but on the whole, it opens you to an ocean of possibilities and collaborations to look forward to. I have been traveling alone since I was 16 years old and illustration has helped me find the balance between travel and work. Just goes to show that if you are in sync with all your senses and are open to all sorts of conversations, you can create your own opportunities and gain some mesmerising experiences in return. </i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have an <i>organic</i> connection with books; its pages, its secrets and dreams. I can spend hours staring at books, not that I would read them;
just stare. The way the threads hold them together and sometimes hold onto
them; it makes me instantly have a conversation with its <i>presence</i>.</span></div>

<o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;">My grandfather has been gifting me books since I was little.
Books on speeches, legends, drawings, birds, trees, science, architecture; just
everything that makes this world what it is. As time passed by, I flipped through them </span>once in a while<span style="font-family: inherit;">. Read a few words here and there and forgot about
them. What I never forgot was his audacious signature at the beginning and end
of the books. Those dog eared edges grew older </span>over the years.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The inks
would leave an introvert smell and the corners of the page would fall apart.</span></div>

I am coming back to this space after the longest gap of
time. It feels like returning home after a long whimsical travel; and the last
few months have been something of that sort.</div>

<i>I was once again back to the cozy hills in the north of
India. The wind was familiar; precarious. I was there after almost a year but
nothing had really changed. That’s the thing about mountains in any part of
the world. The look audacious from a distance but as you come get closer, they
have their wrinkles, their tales. </i></div>

<i>Winter was at it’s all time high and I was not quite
prepared for the adamant weather. I had my little journals with me and I would
draw all the conversations and cuisines but this time there was something
larger, vaster waiting for me. It was a beautiful wall standing right in front
of the snow-clad peaks waiting for me to translate my thoughts onto it’s
textured self.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>The story was simple; it was about people from different
pockets of the globe coming back to Mcleodganj from time to time, making their
temporary home there. Pink House, which is probably the most popular amongst travelers
and explorers wanted me to make their wall speak with their guests.</i></div>

<i>It took me back to the time I had spent with my teacher. He would
often ask me to not get conscious of the surface I was drawing on. He would get
me buckets of water and thick extrovert brushes to let my mind flow on the
papers. He would make me draw a lot; and he would draw along. I was happy I had
followed what he had told me once, “No matter what, draw every day. Make the
strokes and lines a part of your system and then no size or surface will ever
matter.”</i></div>

<i>I began drawing on the first day of work and my mind was
initially distracted by the height I was standing on. I have terrible vertigo but it
seemed to have lost somewhere in the drawings. As I made the first few strokes,
I felt the connect with the wall. It had started opening up to me. It was
nervous and cold too.</i><br />
