My Story: After Losing My Hands At The Age Of 10, I Painted More Than 1 Lakh Paintings

“I was playing with my friends near a sugarcane grinder and somehow both my hands got dragged into the grinder and that is how I lost both my hands at the age of 10. I was depressed and clueless; I stayed at home for six years without doing anything. Gradually I started writing with the help of my mouth and decided to start my education. In the year 1976, I shifted to the city and got enrolled in a school and cleared all my exams by writing with the help of my mouth. As I was growing up, I got interested in making paintings and decided to hold brush instead of pens. I enrolled myself in one of the best Arts College of the city and obtained the degree in the same and since then there has been no stopping. So far I have painted more than 1 lac paintings and have worked for many big names. My paintings have been sold in many parts of the world and currently I am associated with many National as well as International Organizations. I breathe paintings and live paintings since last four decades.

Never underestimate yourself and never lose hope.”
