“I will make poetry if it’s the last thing I do,”
From When the Suffering Is Over
Ascent to Madness
“I have always been an outcast. An impostor and a charlatan... I have never felt comfortable in my own skin. And yet this state of mind has been imposed on me, I feel, not due to some internal defect, but rather forged out of the unfortunate confines of the communities I have sought to mold into.”
Sher Khan, Ascent to Madness
Selected Paintings
“Exploring the themes of isolation, hopelessness and emptiness, what emerges onto or rather out of the canvas is an amalgamation of sub consciousness, dreams and madness.”
When the Suffering Is Over
“I will write a short poem about the sun. How he longed for some sun. Did the sun even exist?”
