Come sit at my corner desk

The Letter · twice a month

Namaskaara! Pull up a chair. The chai is hot and the paint water is, regrettably, also brown.

Twice a month I write to a small, growing circle about what’s on my desk: Shilpa Shastra drawings, Tanjore gold, Golu displays, and the occasional monkey mask that cracks under 1.5 kg of clay. Expect ritual, design, a project lesson or two, and honest notes from an immigrant studio that is currently one corner desk and three cups of water.

A thank-you gift
