1. Could you define what your work is about?
My work is all about absurdities in our daily life. Mankind has developed a skill to conveniently conceptualize these absurdities, as if they are the inevitable part of our existence. This study is very interesting and I have been doing this for quite some time now.

2. Choose, describe and comment two of your work
"Panic room " 2006
Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms that may include chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or abdominal distress. When you see these signs in the society in the context of economical, political social issues you are bound to experience this.

Export Design 2000 (Work is about Kidney racket)
Once upon a time, there used to live a Pandita, (a scholar) who was a Trikaalagnya (one who knows about future). One day with his divya-drushti (Power to visualize future) he saw that in his next janma (birth) he will be born to a Varaaham (pig) owned by a Rajaka(washer man). There will be white spots on the head and legs of him then (when he will be born as a pig). He called his son and told on what day and time, he will be born as a pig. He asked his son to come then and immediately kill him and give him vimukti (freedom) from that hiina (low grade ), durbhara deham (fragile body). Feeling pity on his father, he accepted to do so.

The son went on the specified day to the Rajaka and identified the pig which was just born and had white spots. He took it to kill it, but the pig pleaded him not to do so. It told him that it liked the smell of dirt, garbage and it is very happy to go around in dirty places. He asked the son not to kill him and leave him. Surprised seeing the pig's words, the son went away.

4. What does the expression "indian artist" mean to you ?
One of my recent work is titled "Souvenir maker- Designed in America Conceptualized in India, Made in China, sponsored by Korea .. ..Yes we are conditioned to think under flags..."

where I have converted barbed wire making machine in to a Souvenir maker and have also applied for the patent.

5. What would be your slogan ? what is the very short expression you would use to describe what you are, what you think or what you create ?
In a mental asylum, a mad man was fishing in an empty tank. to tease him ,another man asked, "How many fish have you caught?" The first man replied, "You are a fool, this is an empty tank and I am holding a rod."
