The Eyes of the Thar

His poetry and drawings come together, words and images weaving an intricate web of reflection, repose, distance and intimacy as they meld thought and feeling and compel one to pause and wonder.

The reader is taken on a timeless journey through the carved havelis, the frescoed walls, the wondrous life of royalty and the colours of desert fairs to the vast open expanses of the dunes with nomads on camel backs winding their way through eternity.

This journey is not a solitary one, for in the captivating figures of Jasma and Durga, of Nazri and Arman and others, the sensuality of glance and pose, both, entice the reader to join them and experience the mystery and austere beauty of the desert.
