Passion for Art

During his years at the Jabalpur Medical College, he would pick up a pencil and sketch pictures. As he grew, his hands became quicker and his thoughts & expressions found their way into sketches & paintings.
Some of his paintings were retrieved from the hostel room in recent years, along with scrap books and collages. This was just the beginning of a long association with art.

| Slowly he got busier in the long hospital schedules, the sketches started diminishing but the interest in art remained deep inside. In 1977, he started his own collection of paintings, the first one being a watercolor paperwork. Due to the long hours spent in the hospital and operation theater, the paintings on the hostel wall were a welcome relief. Time spent in the company of his paintings was a definite source of relaxation. |
