Art for a Cause
In order to empower the spirit of sportsmanship and bolster the prosperity of the rich sporting culture of India, we have partnered with the Mukul Madhav Foundation. The foundation creates opportunities for underserved communities in Healthcare, Education, Environment, Social Welfare, and Sports. A portion of the proceeds from "The Fourth Umpire” series will go towards promoting sports activities and athletic endeavours amongst the undeserved communities in our country.
In the most critical moments of our lives we find ourselves, not unlike a captain who must carry the team to victory, who must decide where each piece fits and how might they move. Every moment, and every move we take in that moment, has the potential to change our lives forever.

The arrow of time knows only what lies ahead of it. It doesn't look back, it doesn't wait for us to catch our breath. It tempts us to match it's speed, to forget who we are and our purpose as we descend into a blind pursuit of a mirage. But time travels in diferent paces with diferent people. It ambles, trots, gallops, and appears to stand still. It is like unto an illusion that mirrors our circumstances, and our state of mind. Like a beating heart, a moment is splintered into a million, preceding the run up to a decisive final delivery. And then in the blink of an eye, it races past as if it never slowed down. The arrow of time lives within us and to accommodate the quirks of time, is to come to terms with our state of mind.

To achieve success and growth, freedom of thought and action is essential. The bird when caged cannot reach its full potential but when free and in control, the fledgling spreads its wings soaring high into the fields of aspirations. The elders and matrons impart their knowledge and guidance through a variety of creative strokes, a soft touch, a cut, an anchor, a swing, or at times just standing firm. Through hard work, controlled and balanced thoughts, an open mind, always adapting and calculating to the field of play, viewing the fielders and world not as obstacles but as opportunities to find and fill the gaps. Through a fierce sense of commitment, hard work, and perseverance new heights of success and glory are reached.
