I lead product for ecommerce channel at HUL. Having built these products from the ground up, I’ve gathered a few key principles/lessons that have helped me along the way.

If you know me, you probably already know I’m a huge Studio Ghibli fan. The works of Hayao Miyazaki have deeply inspired me - I’ve watched every film, explored some behind-the-scenes interviews, and recently read The Complete Works of Studio Ghibli by Colin Odell and Michelle Le Blanc. Founded by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, Studio Ghibli is, in my eyes, the gold standard of visual storytelling. Every frame feels thought through, every character arc is quietly profound,

This InkingMay, I tried something truly unique—transforming Excel spreadsheets into a digital canvas. Read on to discover how rows and columns became my new canvas for season 9.

Often dismissed as trivial, comics are a profound and serious literary medium. Here are my top 5 picks of comics you should read.

A few months ago, I explored relationships through simple line drawings on my blog . This experience inspired me to consider how I could represent emotions using basic colours, lines and curves. Around the same time, I discovered mindful art, which encouraged me to learn more about it and practice mindful art exercises. One particularly impactful exercise is the body scan. This art activity helps you become more mindful of your body and your emotions in a nonjudgmental way. T

Every year since 2017, I have celebrated growing old by doing this deeply personal ritual called ‘#InkingMay’. Long story short, I paint on all the 31 days of my birthday month (May) every year. It started in 2017 as a very random occurrence when I decided to celebrate crossing the milestone age of 21 by doing something I loved, everyday. Little did I anticipate that this spontaneous decision would evolve into an annual tradition, persisting year after year and season after s

An illustrative blog on the art of Kintsugi.

A few weeks ago, I came across a book titled 'Writer’s Block'. Flipping through a random page, I stumbled upon a striking image: the word 'Waiting' on the left, accompanied by a black silhouette of a woman on the right. This image sparked a cascade of thoughts. I found myself pondering the numerous places where we find ourselves in a state of waiting: standing in queues at public places, hailing a cab, waiting for our order at a restaurant, awaiting our turn at the airport ba

She got flowers today. It is 13th August 1996. As she blinked her eyes open, the world unfolded before her in a haze of light and unfamiliar faces. But among these unfamiliar faces, a man stood out – his eyes brimming with joy, joy that knows no bounds, and he is holding a bouquet of flowers. Lillies. White lilies. It seemed as though time itself paused to witness the silent exchange between father and daughter. She got flowers today. It is 14th February 2014. Her doorbell ri

As I sat idle, I started contemplating about how some circumstances and relationships change in life. Of course, the complexity of life, of relationships, of time, cannot be captured so easily, I still tried to represent all that in the simplest of forms: lines. I started with sketching the gentle rhythm of my breath, as I inhaled and exhaled (You can try this as a mindful art activity for 5 minutes as it brings your attention to your breath and calms you down) As I was think

You still crave lemonade, but the taste doesn’t satisfy you as much as it used to. You still crave summer, but sometimes you mean summer, five years ago. I read this quote somewhere and I thought how perfectly it captures the emotion of Nostalgia. It is a quite complex paradoxical emotion and hence we say it is bittersweet. Sweet as we are reminiscing the best times of our lives and bitter because we realise it no longer exists and we must return to the present. It got me thi

A blank canvas is an exhilarating and a terrifying thing. I've got this empty space just waiting to soak up my ideas, and that's pretty darn cool. It feels like I am at the crossroads of endless potential and the void stares back, both daunting and inviting. My heart is racing as I hold the brush, knowing that this empty space is a way of self-expression. A part of me wants to chuck everything, while the stubborn bit won't let go. Sometimes, I pick up the brush, face the can

In the middle of an ordinary day, extraordinary moments unfold on the streets. Among the familiar routines, stories of resilience and hope paint the canvas of everyday life. The old lady near the doorway, immersed in reading the newspaper, holds a wealth of wisdom accumulated over the years. It is not the result of a classroom education, but the lessons that life has taught her. As the aroma of freshly made jalebis fills the air, it becomes an invitation to indulge in the sim
