Waise toh every Diwali is special but this one was special in other way. I was back from the hospital and on prescribed bed rest the whole day. Pune had an eternally long power cut that day (that means no DVDs...No movies). I was in no mood to read so the Khurafaati Khopdi that I am, planned to make some prank calls and surprise people whom I haven’t spoken to in ages.. Tried to sell credit cards, house loans, club memberships to most of the unsuspecting shikaars, posed as a psycho fan called all Kalakaar type old friends (to my delight none of them had my new no. and I was pretty successful in pester them all).
It was fun catching up with all the cartoonist friends with whom I started my cartooning career long back.…Diwali actually turned into a True Happy Diwali…Power cuts during bed rest aren’t that bad…are they??
Posting some of my old cartoons…and a pic (hope you can differentiate between the pic and cartoons)

PS. Listening to Requiem For A Dream soundtrack, brilliant music…awesome tracks by Clint Mansell.. I was listening to a track called- Winter: The Beginning Of The End, and was shocked to discover that the track Confidence (which used to be one of my most favorite instrumental tracks) from Johnny Gaddar was copied...err.. I mean…plagiarized... I mean ‘inspired by’- Winter: The Beginning Of The End…

welcome back, dost. trust your health is wealthy again. you must be the the first blogger i know who got hospitalized because his blog popularity (measured in comments) dropped!! anyway, glad you recovered quickly.
zapped that in all these weeks of knowing you (oh is it years already??), i never asked to see your drawings. you draw better than i guessed. especially loved the "Baap" cartoon for 91.1FM. how do we get to see some more of your work?
I have tons to learn from you dude .
Superb ....superb .
prank calls to friends? not a great idea. as if they are already not pestered by credit card calls.
But the cartoons are so cute...and funny.
