ALTHOUGH HE GETS BORED TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF, HIS BACKGROUND IS CRUCIAL TO UNDERSTANDING HIS ELECTRICALLY COLORFUL ARTISTIC WORKS. HIS INDIAN FASHION DESIGNER MOTHER VERSED HIM IN THE JOYS OF COLOR. HIS FATHER, A POET, WORKED TIRELESSLY IN INSTILLING A SENSE OF OBLIGATION TO NOT ONLY THE WORLD, BUT THE HIGHER SELF.
