My Editorial Cartoons & Media Features

For over three decades, my pen has been my voice. From the daily masthead at Hindustan, which greeted readers every morning for nearly ten years, to complex political commentary during the Rail Budget, my work has always been about one thing: showing a mirror to society.

I moved from the chaos of newsrooms to the classroom because I believe in passing on the craft. My editorial journey taught me that art is not just about technique, it is about observation. Whether I am drawing a front-page jacket for the Cricket World Cup or creating a detailed feature illustration for HT Wknd, the goal remains the same. I want the viewer to smile, think, or sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable.

This experience defines how I teach today. In my workshops, I do not just talk about strokes or digital software brushes. We discuss the realities of the media industry, how to make your work relevant, and how to survive the grind of being a professional artist. If you are looking for an honest assessment of your portfolio or want your students to learn from someone who has actually lived the editorial grind, my doors are open.
