Chhavi Creations

Born in Nasik, pre-schooling in Jabalpur, Kindergarten in Rajnandgaon, Primary education in Durg, then remaining education in Gwalior.
Graduation in Architecture from Madhav Institute of Technology and Science, Gwalior. I worked as an Architect/ Interior Designer in Delhi and Bangalore before joining Film and Television Institute of India in 2000.
Interests: writing stories, poems, plays as a hobby too but my favourite pastime is sketching. Give me a paper and a pen/pencil/crayon/coal and I'll kill time happily. I have also participated in many Kavi Sammelans.
Designed the cover and format for a poetry book called "Tum Gaao O Meri Peeda". I even got a chance to present a paper on "Gandhian Philosophy and the concept of Low-Cost Housing" at the International Conference on Gandhian Studies. The paper has been published in a book called "Relevance of Gandhian Thought".
FTII taught me to appreciate a film and that also resulted in four of my reviews getting published at rediff.com

Apart from my FTII projects like Catalyst, Sanskaar and Guzaraa Huaa Mausam which were screened at film festivals and channels like Star One and NDTV Profit, I also got to direct three short films - It Takes Balls, The Return and Ehsaas Emotions Etc.
For me, all media are associated with expression. Now, with my effort called "Chhavi Creations", I hope to make a mark in feature films as well as documentaries, ad films, serials, short films, music videos and so on.
