Kindness

-saying thankyou and valuing what others do
-keeping things simple for yourself
-being glad for all that you have
-having fun no matter what
-being articulate and understood

There is a fine line that separates he who is heard and trusted, from the constantly unreliable and incapable mad man, he who has no place in society no matter what his cause.

The simple things in life.

Simple joys.

Simple aspirations.

Simple fun.

Simple excitement.

Looking good. Enjoying good food. Good friends, loving the family. Travelling. Keeping fit.
Keeping up to date. Keeping busy.
Charting exciting new (simple) things for the future.
Knowing my priorities, and working on basic discipline : being on time, giving in work on time.
Living in the moment. Being honest. The reflection : keeping yourself sorted.
Not being lazy. Feeling light. Keeping anchored to your roots.
Valuing what you create/know/do - whatever it is - and learning to share happily and confidently.

A simple love for being, me.

It's really that easy and fun!

Balance,
simplicity

colour
dressing up
moods
family and friends
great work

honesty
new clothes

partying
fashion
music
good conversation,
staying fit.

Go Discover Rhymes : Interactive early learning smart book

Graphic design and illustration for the 'Go-Discover Rhymes' series of the Go-Discover Interactive early learning smart books. This was a set of 8 educational smart books that used touch and sound technology via an interactive pen, for children between 2-5 years of age. 

This set of interactive books was launched at the book fair in delhi on February 11, 2013.

These are the pages i designed and illustrated in January for one of the 8 books - the book of Rhymes. The other books were the book of Numbers, Alphabets, Stories, Animals, Fruits and Colours. This was the last addition in the series, and this would not have been possible in the time we had without the support of the wonderful Sonia Swaroop of Go-Discover books.
