SOCIETY Magazine Interview (July 2012)

I am honored and quite flattered to have been featured in Society magazine (exclusive interview for the July 2012 issue). Thank you Society (and Ujjwala/Anupama) for a wonderful interview. Photographs: Sandesh Ravikumar
   
SOCIETY (www.magnamags.com) India's leading celebrity magazine that reports extensively on corporate tycoons, socialites, sports, designers, artists, models and other movers and shakers of society. A cornucopia of culture and colour, a melange of gossip and scandals and all in all a cutting edge product which goes beyond the realms of Page3. Society is undoubtedly one of the most reputed magazines published in India.

VIMOCHANA '2012 (Media Coverage)

Vimochana 2012 Calendar

Vimochana, a registered NGO based out of Bangalore, India, was initiated in1979 to seek a just, humane and creative society rooted in politics that would lead to transformation. Vimochana (meaning liberation) strives towards making violence against women unthinkable and creating a violence free world for all, especially for the more marginalized and vulnerable communities. Apart from this Vimochana, aims at drawing in all sections of society to strive towards a world free from all forms of war, violence, intolerance and conflicts. For further details, visit www.vimochana.in.

As you know, I have been supporting various causes with my art. I make a desktop calendar every year with my charcoal sketches and help raise money for a specific cause. The past calendars were in support of Dream A Dream (2009), Sneha Nilaya (2010) and Asha Niketan (2011). This year I am supporting Vimochana. I have tried to capture the innocence, angst and beauty of womanhood in the 2012 calendar.

Please extend your support to this cause by purchasing the calendars. Like previous years, each calendar is priced at INR 500 (80G Tax Receipt will be provided with every purchase). Also, please forward this in your networks. Thank you!!
