Why did you choose to get involved with the Non-Governmental Organization in your mid-career path?
During my service period, I have been posted in some sensitive departments of the government of Delhi. During that time, I have experienced some emotional and mind-blowing incidences. I was posted in the SubRegistrar Office in Pitampura, New Delhi where Sale-Deeds of properties are registered. One day a very old lady, aged approximately 70+ came weeping during the evening mentioning that her only son has left her outside Palam International Airport in a cab saying that he is coming back just after completing official formalities. The same day during the afternoon she had sold her prime property in our jurisdictional area. Her son took all the money from her after selling the property with a commitment that he will take her to the USA to live with him. After leaving her in the cab, he didn’t return back and when she tried to contact the airport authorities, she was told that her son has left India. Now that lady has no shelter, no money, and no other source to stay with/survive. We were helpless to do anything for her. Which area of art are you interested in? Is there any other area you would like to discover?
The freedom that contemporary art proffers is quite expansive. It does not privilege any one medium or form. We create all types of work - be it moving
Which core arenas does your organization work in?
