The quiet elegance of afternoons spent in wooden chairs and soft cotton.
My dadi, Mohinder Kaur, born in Sialkot. A lover of music, stories, and philosophy. A gentle force that brought our family together.

Ratika enjoying a head massage while reading in Preet Nagar, Mughal Garden.

Ajibo, beneath the kinnoo trees.
Having handed over security duties to the junior staff,
she now enters her soft retirement,
stretched in dappled light,
dreaming of citrus and glory days.

Quick gouache of our most loyal elder,
resting where the sun is warm and the oranges are sweet. 🍊🐾

Arjun, post aalu paranthas and cricket, Mughal Garden, Preet Ghar, Preet Nagar.
He fought bravely.
Against bouncers, butter, and the late October sun.
Now he rests on a khes, the like of which have seen both childhood games and post-lunch naps.

Quick gouache sketch from the kind of day that paints itself.

Anuja eating gateaux in the Mughal garden at Preet Ghar, Preet Nagar.
Because when in Punjab, one must snack like royalty.

Quick gouache studies from a family afternoon where we swapped stories, laughed barefoot, and remembered what it was like to run wild through these fields for the first 10 years of our lives.
Some places never leave you; especially if they come with cake. 🎂🌿

We are testing out a few spots for this gorgeous Lady in Red Sari under the Red Pilkan Tree.
