Our Creative Adda: Artistic Collaborations and Community
For me, art is rarely a solo act. This collection gathers my favorite moments with mentors, colleagues, and the wonderful talents I have the privilege to work with.
A candid selfie after the inaugural concert of the Jackfruit Festival with my fellow musicians and the respected Shubha Mudgal ma'am. It was a fulfilling and heartwarming evening celebrating the talent of the Srishti kids.
Another happy group picture after the 'Sunny Symphony' concert. The smiles on everyone's faces capture the joy and success of the evening. It truly takes a village to put on a show like this.

A gathering of artists at my home for 'chai and charcha'. It was an honour to first give a talk at their studio and then host them. The exchange of ideas and art is what builds a strong creative community.
About Our Creative 'Adda'
My home is often a buzzing 'adda' where artists meet for chai and conversation. These informal gatherings are where ideas for new plays and music collaborations are born, and I am always looking for more people to join these creative discussions.
Collaboration is at the heart of everything I do. Whether I am working with the students of Srishti Special Academy or spending an afternoon learning from Sugama Sangeetha legends, the focus is always on shared knowledge. These visual glimpses are not just performance photos. They are proof of the community we build.
When we talk about an 'Adda' session, it is about creating a space for art to thrive. Sometimes this involves a masterclass on Bhavageethe, where we dive into the nuances of Kannada poetry. Other times, it means hosting artists for a chat or putting together a performance for the Jackfruit Festival. My goal is to make these interactions accessible, welcoming, and open to anyone with a love for the arts.
If you are planning an event or looking for a workshop that moves beyond a standard lecture, I bring my team of musicians and storytellers to you. We focus on storytelling that includes puppetry, music, and deep dives into folk traditions. Each session is tailored to your audience, ensuring that we respect the art form while keeping it relevant for today.
