People always make the mistake of thinking art is created for them. But really, art is a private language for sophisticates to congratulate themselves on their superiority to the rest of the world. As my artist’s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance. - Calvin

May it be a hot afternoon, hot with passion, flushed with emotions.
May we be travelling, travelling together.
On a road less taken, for a view less seen.
May the heat be difficult, may your presence be comforting.
May the sights enrich my mind, may your love enrich my soul.
May the hands be free to exclaim, may the minds be intertwined together.
May it be one hell of a journey, may life be nothing but a journey.
May we never find a destination where we cease to believe there is more to be seen and loved.
May this ever lasting journey fill our spirits with emotions that survive and pulsate even beyond the globe.

हमने आग लगा दी है
दरख्तों को दरकिनार करके 
कतरा कतरा करके यूँ लगायी है 
की आग भी सहम जाए ऐसी गरमाई है

अब जलो तो सही की हम तमाशा देखें
किस कदर जलते हो तुम इसका नजराना देखें 
सब कुछ हार जाने की बड़ी तलब सी जगी है
पर जो हमसे और हमपे सब हार गया 
ये महफ़िल सिर्फ उसके लिए सजी है
