"I got it from my mom"

Growing up in a conservative Indian family, kirtans and chalisas about gods are part of everyday life. No matter whether it is a living room or bedroom, pictures of gods and goddesses can be seen. Whenever I ask my mom out to a art gallery she always insistes me to visit temples, as it is well known for marvelous sculptures. Indeed they are celebrated for architectural gems. When I was a toddler, my Indian mom gotta Ganesha (elephant god) embose painting down town. My mom is inquisitive about learning art and craft, so am I.

Time files, it's been a decade now, from helping her to showing my new craft items, I grew up to be a 16 year old just an other teenager.
