From Novembers past

And just like that we’re in November 2020. From the blog archives I find that Novembers have either been prolific with travel and conferences or dry and desolate as the Gobi desert. Here are 3 favorites ones over 2006-2019.

This is from 12 year ago, about missing the brown boy when I lived in Sweden: Why Skype isn’t enough

and this one is about a color: A ray of grey from 2011.

Parenting, and your sense of self from 2017 is a letter written to myself, trying to find myself after becoming a mother.

Old posts from Octobers

I see that Octobers have been a little low for inktales.

In 2009, a journal of tristesse – filled with Conversations with the Anteater:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 7
Part 8

In 2008, I happily drew The Big Joshi, ate a lot of yummy Swedish godis and introduced the culture of the Bengalis (Ray Babu’r Ekdin) to my classmates.

In 2006, a month of journeys and meetings.
An old flame from an old sketchbook.
Dia and I went to Amritsar.
Viv and I bumped into friends everywhere.

In Augusts past

I’m not sure if you like these self-referential posts, but I think they help new visitors find some old, but nice, posts on inktales.

Anyway, here’s what I have done in Augusts past:

2010

Blogging the Paris journals – Day 02 | Day 09

Leaving, sadly | Thinking of love | Reading Toothpicks and Logos

Mourning my dead Nokia phone

2008

My mother’s new ringtone

Nothing to speak of.

2006 (Click on the images to see larger sizes)

Some things haven’t changed | A commissioned work on sexual harassment | My first animation film, 2001 |

Some pages from my Alphabet book, which you can buy here (though royalties are pending for years)

Writing I am… | Wish – that’s probably one talent lost

Some sleepy drawings

I can hardly recognize this girl.
