A letter about The Panspermia theory

Panspermia theory is a hypothesis that life exists throughout the universe by transfer of life from other planets. If it were true, Apurva writes then it would essentially mean gazillions of years ago we were perhaps a part of a different galaxy or planet and the aliens we are obsessed with, indeed could be us! 

How exciting!

I draw for her a collection of shapes, patterns and lines which represent the complexity of appearance of life on our planet. 

A letter about wilderness

This is a letter which got lost somewhere for ten months and was eventually found and given to me a few days ago. So this one quite special. Priyanka writes to me from a holiday she is taking, from the beautiful coffee estate of Chikmanglur. She passionately describes her beautiful surroundings and yearns to live in the wilderness.

I draw for her a woman in thought, a woman in a contemplative mood, a woman who is aware of her surroundings, a woman who is trying to find a meaning of her existence, A woman like herself!

A letter about love and loss.

@shakshigodawat writes about her father who passed away recently. Her letter is brimming with memories of how thoughtful, caring, kind and affectionate a man he was.

I draw for her a portrait of her father. Although I will never know how he physically was, but from his daughters words I certainly know what he felt like.

A letter about books.

Shivangi is a voracious reader. She is currently taking the 666 challenge where she is reading 6 books from 6 countries and 6 continents.

I myself adore books. I love how they can make me imagine, feel, understand and correlate at the same time. For Shivangi, I make the beautiful world only to be found inside of books.

A letter about the Bombay Rains!

Jamshedpur girl Sreejita in her letter asks me how I feel about the Bombay rains. I cannot relate in words but I tell her through the colors how much I love the monsoons here and how much they remind me of home.
