BETWEEN HEAVEN & HELL

Its almost 5 years now that I have not made any cartoon. Swallowed all my anger against the evil designs of politicians and fanatics in the name of Almighty God against the helpless common public. How many writers reporters and cartoonists died or sacrificed their freedom of expression over the last 5 years, in India and all over the world. I didn't want to give easy publicity to such people through my cartoons. Now I feel a ray of hope of freedom of expression is emerging. I have made up my mind to restart cartooning through this blog.

A Cartoon is supposed to make people laugh or atleast smile. Or make them think differently through humorous strokes. I too wish, to make everyone happy. But the daily news and happenings make me sad and angry. How else could I react other than making a cartoon ? Log on daily and feel free to share ur views with others.
