It's been quite some time since I last sent out an email update, but rest assured, a lot has been happening behind the scenes. Today, I shall catch you up on all the latest developments.

Summers with kids at home can be quite a handful. Even though mine are now teenagers, keeping them engaged has been a challenge. The scorching temperatures, reaching a staggering 40-42°C (106°F) for the past month, made it particularly difficult to plan exclusively indoor activities for them. Thankfully, my parents, who live in the same city, came to my rescue, and provided a much-needed change of scenery for the kids. While juggling their classes and activities, I have been keeping busy experimenting and refining the theme and style for my upcoming solo show.

As the Indian summer draws to a close in about a week, the kids are back in school, and I am brimming with excitement about the results of what felt like an endless series of experiments. Finally, I have the mental space to process it all and document my creative journey. The show is set to commence on September 12th at the prestigious Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai. That's just 90 days away, and I have a ton of work ahead of me.

Stay tuned for exclusive behind-the-scenes insights, updates on my progress, and the triumphs and challenges I encounter along the way. I invite you to be a part of this incredible journey with me.
