My Gurus
In our journey of achieving higher milestones there are a lot of people who make us envision our dreams and guide us to achieve them. Amongst many such people we find a few, who we look up to as Gurus. I always felt that our Gurus, our Teachers need higher recognition than just in our speeches or interviews. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
By mentioning them in this space I want to initiate a process to mention them prominently on the website so whenever someone visits my profile they would also know the foundation of it. The tradition of mentioning Guru’s with high regards is often seen in Classical performing arts, I feel it's a wonderful tradition all should follow in visual arts too.
Prof. Vinay Saynekar
Saynekar Sir has been a Mentor to me in the journey of pursuing a career in this field of Design & Calligraphy. He is someone who has always guided me in the right direction whenever I have been stuck or lost paths. His one piece of advice during my college days changed my perspective and approach towards my work. To summarize the same, the advice was to not let the work of existing masters reflect in my work, instead create a unique style of my own that would define me.
Shri. Ram Kasture
From the foundation of Calligraphy to Advanced Learning, my Calligraphic upbringing happened at classes of Shri Ram Kasture Sir. While I learnt various styles, forms, and visual expressions under his guidance, the most important life lesson happened by just looking at his dedication towards calligraphy. He always said that, Whenever you are about to draw a calligraphic expression, stop your breath for a moment and then let loose.
Shri. Vivek Pandit
Apart from how we are in our profession, it's equally important how we are molded as a person. Pandit Sir, Founder of Vidya Niketan School laid the foundation in my upbringing of the most crucial days of my life. His personality has always inspired me since childhood. His Disciplinary approach, Patriotic belief system, Pure love towards Indian culture and traditions and a zest to raise thousands of children with the same principles has helped subconsciously in shaping me as a person.
