I design with a fire to see an aura of beauty around myself, in the world I live in. 

Clothes for me are the epitome of inner grace and for that matter they don’t have to be expensive. They can transform a human figure, add an ethereal dimension to realism they are visionary and timeless. They are a spiritual relationship with an ambiance. They are the essence of nostalgia, the fragrance of the present, and the dream of the future. When I sketch clothes I design a trance made of moments of the past and present, and project them as valuables that people would cherish. To me these clothes are sacred as they enclose the temple of the human form. I have sketched clothes for ten years interpreted them as silhouettes, as embroideries, as surface textures with the sensibility of a painter and filmmaker. I have designed to provide a vocation in my village, Kotwara, to upgrade the craft of Chikan and Zardozi in my city, Lucknow and its environs.
