Aparna endures. Like a bad perfume in a crowded boardroom. Or a fart in yoga class. Or a misplaced olive in a sandwich. She also knows you saw her doing that thing she did last week. May you and she be ever bonded through secrecy, lies, and deception all topped with a thin layer of ingratiating superficial affection. Hugs!

Influences
Snoopy, Grover, Gonzo, most muppets, Home Movies AND Home Alone, the cute aesthetic (laughing babies, confused kittens, etc.), old ladies who don’t give a flip, catty teenagers, dreamboats, flamboyence in all forms, bouncers from Bah-stan who like to pahty hahdkor, inanimate blobjects, bread pudding, a little speck of the human experience.
Also, TV shows make many appearances in my living room. Oh, it doesn’t work the other way around? Well, son of a rapscallion!
Films
I was in a selfmade Bollywood film at the tender age of 10. It’s not on IMDB. It’s obscure. I prefer to keep it that way.
Other work TBD.
Albums
I have many books full of family and friend photos (also some still-life samples). It would be vain to title and date them, and share this information with disinterested voyeurs (no matter how vicarious or vicurious they may be).

To be nobody-but-yourself—in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else—means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e.e. cummings
