I remember, while I was studying 4th or 5th standard ( way back in 1981-82), dad encouraged me to compete for talent search scholarship of department of culture at Mandi House, New Delhi. With his guidance, I go it thru and stated receive scholarship towards continuation of my hobby – Clay Modeling. Every alternate year dad use to take me to Delhi and I use to appear for practical test so that the scholarship is continued. In 1988, I was proposed by one of the jury member to join Deptt. of fine arts and he can get me the same; as my work speaks for itself. I was dreaming to become engineer, hence could not take this proposal further. I think it was right decision because my current profession ( Human Resources ) has given me huge experience in people dynamics and practical life situations. But I kept light of art ignited in my persona and this has really helped me to bring innovation to my professional assignments.


After we have lost our mother in 2004 his work suffered a bit and we have tried to support in all his efforts and endeavors. During all these years I have seen my father creating sculptures on many topics.

He is a saint artist. His contentment lies in creating the art not selling or talking about it. I always wanted to bring him to limelight but I was also struggling to be successful in my HR profession. When I look back I see 13 years have passed away and I have done very little in this direction. This is an honest expression, but feel I could have done better. I took up a job in Delhi 2 years ago with an objective of bringing him from Patiala to Delhi so that he can interact with people of his sphere, but he could not do. Memories of my mother have not allowed him to move him with us. Realizing this situation, I have shifted my family back to Patiala in July 2008. There is huge satisfaction as a son that my wife is taking care of him and kids are finding it good to be with their grandfather.

He is back in motion again. Sharing his few art works which he created way back in 2003.
