"When I am with you, we stay up all night
When you are gone, I can't get to sleep!
Praise God for these two insomnias
And the difference between them."

(Jalal-ud-din Rumi of Konya; translated by Coleman Barks)


I take insomnia as a part of my life.For me its not about the nights and about not sleeping.Its about wanting to stay awake.Wide eyed and open. There are some thoughts which don't let you sleep and you can't sleep without them! I draw to find myself who keeps getting lost in many thousand stupid and wise and random threads of thoughts about things I see around and events that happen to me. I believe my inspiration lies there somewhere in the most entangled part of the threads.This blog is a collection of some of my visual works.
