Dance, baby, dance! Posted on September 8, 2006September 8, 2006 When I was in the ninth standard or so, I decided to try my hand (and feet) at classical dancing. There was a dance teacher in school called Mrs Dhingra, who would take classes at her home. I bravely enrolled.

Anita Recommends Ancient connections to come alive through “Ghadai”, an initiative by the Kumbhars (potters) of Kutch Posted on December 14, 2014December 14, 2014 The arts and crafts from the Kutch region are well known today.

Potter, potter, make me a …pot! Posted on October 17, 2006October 18, 2006 Somewhere in the bowels of Fraser Town is a non-descript place called Pottery Town. It’s not really a town, just a street that houses about 30 potter families. And have been for quite some time now. Apparently, Pottery Town was born when the Government gave 60 potters a designated area on a 30-year lease. Over the years, the potter’s days of glory has declined and many of the new generation don’t want to take it up.

Excellent work, Anita. let me know if you are interested in holding an exhibition of your paintings in Chennai and I’ll help you with it. No, I’m not kidding. Reply
You’re welcome, Jil. Kribs: If you buy one from me, that’s enough for now 😉 Hopefully, someday, will do an exhibition, but I will need to work a great deal more for that to happen… Reply
Nice one 🙂 The best things I like about your paintings are that 1. They are not abstract 2. They are beautiful 🙂 Reply
Thanks Arun 🙂 But there is actually a beauty in abstract that only a person who understands that art can appreciate. Also, it’s much tougher to do abstract art, believe me. I tried it and realised that sticking to realistic stuff is easier! Reply
Wow..thats really neat. Good stuff Anita, wish I ll meet up with you sometime, once I get settled in Bangalore, to discuss painting in general. I have passions for painting and that hobby of mine poor little doesn’t find enough of my attention and time. And that painting of yours reminds me one of mine done back in 2002. Reply
Thanks Vin. I haven’t met too many people who I can chat or appreciate art with, so that would be nice. Are you in Bangalore already or planning to come here sometime? Reply
