Cecilia Makiwane, Philatelic Stamp issued by former Ciskei

Cecilia Makiwane, the first black registered nurse in apartheid South Africa was honored by a philatelic stamp issued by the former bantustan republic, Ciskei. Proud to have that stamp with me finally in my possession. Bought it from a Pretoria collector. The Cecilia Makiwane Hospital in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape is also named after her.

The Fort, Gwalior

Pastel on Paper by Amitabh Mitra

I always love painting the fort when I am not in Gwalior, rough pen drawings encircle a lingering legend, and thoughts of you do stay with it as always. The fort within is a river turbulent when skies remain unseen and suns have long drowned; summers have balked to rebel torsos, even before I had left. And I think of you just as I think of breathing in such a river. In darkness of such nights, someone whispers of longing, longing of this river to become a fort again, longing to see your eyes again in disbelief. If only another sun could rise again.
