It's not the man in the cartoon but the cartoon in the man.

GPS
I was working on GPS theme for a cartoon competition. They mentioned that every cartoon had to have their brand "Prestigio" or product no matter how much out of place it looked. So I made these.

Rewriting History
I had created these cartoons for a competition with the theme "Rewriting History".
I could never really make out why the Taliban destroyed the Bamiyan Buddha. My best guess that they were out of international news for too long and like any wannbe star they needed constant publiticy and attention. All the nations cried fowl but nobody acted.
On one hand we have Ben Franklin whose character is praised throughout history for his honesty and courage to face the consequences of his actions and on the other hand we have Bush who hides behind a huge army of bodyguards. Bush has a penchant for guns and I could not imagine a soldier of the champagne division to actually use an axe to chop off a tree.
Who does really know what was the true event. History is the slave of the victor and corrupts with time and tale.

Insight
I will be out of IITB in the coming semester and so I believe that these will be my last cartoons for Insight. The magazine gave me that gave me so much exposure and experience will be missed in the coming days.
PAF (Performing Arts Festival) is a big thing in IITB. 3/4 hostels come together to put together a huge play with a huge set in the open air theatre. Lately the crowds have been missing from the event. Made for the editor's request.
Staff Canteen (SC) is a place in IITB which gives good enough food at low prices and is open for a large amount of time. The problem is tea, people drink large amounts of tea and there are not enough ceramic cups thus plastic ones are used. They are generally junked around and the area around SC looks like a garbage dump.

A Few Stray Clicks!

The main IIT road.
This is definitely not IIT.

The Thinking Man
I was thinking about what Ronin's Thinking Man was thinking so intensely. Is he thinking of the questions which have no answers, or some simple everyday activities. These are some of my ideas, if you have others tell me.

Current Topics
The Indian Express 18/3/08
China is one big player and Tibet is going to be the next kid to rag on. If it were not for the widespread use of cellphone cams and internet, the crackdown on FREE TIBET movement would have been muffled. CPI(M) is true communist party, if United States sneezes they scream, but for China and Russia all behaviour is excused.
The CBI is a tiger which is brought to help save the world only when all the damage is done. Those poor people just can do very little with all the political and social interference in a long dead event. Not their fault really, but it is not that there is no fault of theirs.
