Diwali Ank

This Diwali was special indeed. Noted cartoonist Prashant Kulkarni was kind enough to include me with some young cartoonists in a "दिवाळी अंक" essay he wrote for रुची by ग्रंथाली प्रकाशन. This would be my first दिवाळी अंक. Prashantji did create a nice Q&A about inspirations, history and influences for me to answer. What I do appreciate is his crisp summary of me as a person and a cartoonist. I am indebted to him for the continuous support and encouragement he as showered me with time and agian. I am thankful to the editor Mr. Arun Joshi of ग्रंथाली प्रकाशन for his support to our field of cartooning. P.S: While I may no longer be "young", each cartoonist is young at heart.
