review by renowned art critic Ramji from which is quoted below:
“He carries the mathematical way of thinking into the domain of art and helps to bridge the gulf between artistic awareness and mathematical knowledge and he succeeds impressively in his attempts, as his works show.
It is evident that he is able to fathom the core of geometry and its inherent corelation of surfaces and lines and he is able to translate this awareness in to creative works which trancends mundane geometry and lifts it into the realm of creative art.
The creation of rhythms inherent in mathematics into art forms which give scope for individual creativity, is the keynote of his works. And by virtue of this his works are highly personal and entirely in a different mileu from the traditional modernistic and avante garde too.”

2000 : conceived , designed and proposed The Millennium
Monument (which will be 250 meters tall)the aims of which I quote below
“To create a unique monument that will celebrate and inspire an optimistic view of the 21 st century.To demonstrate and symbolize the potential of creativity and optimism.
Is meant to inspire, educate and entertain.
Will be futuristic but the detailing and other embellishment will be traditional. Specimen calligraphy will be engraved
from all known languages of the world on the square sides of the sculpture that will act as its natural texture. Deciphered and undeciphered hieroglyphics from ancient cultures may also find a place on the monument. The idea is to unite
the different manifestations of languages and scripts under one monument to glorify mans attempts to communicate, express and preserve his thoughts on the unity of existence.”
