Bidding adieu to the year gone by..

Bidding Adieu to the year gone by..
2009 was like a roller coaster ride for me..
With a lot of highs, some lows.. And lots of sweet memories.
This year looks to be very promising ..
Happy 2010 to you and to me ;-)

Why I stopped blogging after April 2009..

Hello World..
First of all thanks a lot for your mails and interest in my blog.
That is the reason why this blog is coming back to life.
My top three reasons to stop blogging last year..
  • # 3 I was really sick for a couple of months..
  • #2 I was planning the biggest event of my life so far..
  • #1 The most important one- Siba Ads picked my artwork from my "Shree Ganeshaya Namah"post and used it for the following full page ad (30th August 2009) in Hindustan Times Cafe:

I end all my blog posts with this line "Feel free to use it as your desktop wallpaper, contact me if you wish to use it for commercial purposes. "

Wallpaper for December- A tribute to Mumbai

This month's wallpaper is a tribute to all those people who lost their lives in the Mumbai terror attack.May their soul rest in peace.

It is a tribute to those injured in the terror attack. Those who still lie in the hospital battling for their lives and peace of mind.

It is a tribute to all the Army personnel, the Marcos and the National Security Guards who fought to save the city and the hostages. They are truly courageous.

It is a tribute to all those selfless civilians who work at the "Taj", "Oberoi and Trident" hotels ,"Leopold " Cafe, "CST" railway station and "Cama" Hospital and those who lived in "Chabad House". They saved a lot of lives, some even lost their own life whilst saving the hostages.

It is a tribute to the survivors. I pray that they feel peaceful and safe when they sleep at night.

It is a tribute to the city of Mumbai, to each and every person living here. We all have been traumatized by this attack.


In the picture above - the background signifies the terror we have faced.
There is a white candle for peace. Peace in the city. Peace for the souls. Peace for the country.
The bird Represents our right to freedom from terror, terrorism and terrorists.

So many lives lost. So many families destroyed. Will we be able to forget horror of these three days?
Mumbai was considered one of the safest cities to venture out in the night. This attack just took that feeling of safety away from me.
Mumbai has a spirit. Mumbai will bounce back. Yes, We can!
However the spirit has taken a major beating this time. :-(
Do we have any other choice? We have to bounce back.
People in Mumbai cannot AFFORD to stay at home. Living in the city is expensive. Those of us who are privileged to live in this City have to work hard so that we have enough left for ourselves after the taxes (we pay 33% of india's taxes, that's 1/3rd of all of India's taxes ) have been deducted from our income.

Does the fact that the city bounces back every time it's been hit entice more terror attacks?

I am a citizen of Mumbai.
My daily prayers now include "God bless the people of Mumbai".
