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. "
Siba Ads cut off my copyright line and used the artwork for commercial purposes without seeking my permission or paying me for it.
This is for you Siba Ads
Please note that I choose to share my artwork with everyone, however I do not give anyone the right to use it commercially unless the artwork is paid for.
All the artwork on this blog is copyrighted. And I reserve the rights to all the images.
