Where math meets Gond art
For Akhil, son of chess legend Viswanathan Anand, the world isn't black and white, it's bursting with colour While his father, Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand , may see his chessboard as 64 squares, for his son, Sai Akhil Anand, the board holds infinite patterns. 'On a chessboard, I don't just see pieces. The knight moves like it's in a maze, the bishop traces an aperiodic diagonal. It's all patterns,' says the 14-year-old. Akhil says he finds math patterns everywhere, like the Fibonacci sequence or golden spirals, 'even in a plate of gulab jamuns or murukkus'. You Can Also Check: Chennai AQI | Weather in Chennai | Bank Holidays in Chennai | Public Holidays in Chennai He has already developed a distinct artistic style of his own, blending such patterns in Indian art forms characterised by bold lines and vivid colours, and an underlying message of environmental conservation. Initially, Akhil's interest in art seemed like a form of expression with amusing sketches of animals or the apple falling on Issac Newton's head, says Viswanath Anand. 'But over time, he started taking it up seriously and seemed to enjoy himself a lot. More importantly, he found happiness in it. He would work on something until he got it right, and that reminded me of my own past with chess tournaments.' During the pandemic, says Akhil's mother Aruna, they noticed he loved sketching, especially animals. 'On realising that patterns in nature are always perfect, he started to use them to create ideas based on mythology,' she says. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dementia Has Been Linked To a Common Habit.

'That left a deep impression on him. His works have been inspired by madhubani, gond, worli, kalighat and pichwai styles.' Akhil has produced a good body of work, many of which are in the gond style with a contemporary touch, says V Umashankar, an artist at Cholamandal Artists' Village. 'His treatment of the subject and handling of the medium is quite impressive.' Akhil's debut solo art exhibition titled 'Morphogenesis' will be held at Art Space by KalpaDruma from Aug 1. Morphogenesis alludes to mathematician Alan Turing's theory, says Akhil, of a mathematical model for patterns in nature, like a zebra's stripes.

Rishabh Pant Cracks 'Engagement' Joke With Yuzvendra Chahal Amid RJ Mahvash Dating Rumours
Ignored Indian cricket team spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was the subject of a hilarious 'engagement' joke from Rishabh Pant amid dating rumours involving RJ Mahvash. Chahal got divorced from Dhanashree Verma earlier this year and there have been a lot of chatter around his rumoured relationship with RJ Mahvesh after both of them were spotted together on several occasions. Archana Puran Singh recently dropped a Behind The Scenes (BTS) vlog from the shoot of Kapil Sharma's show where Pant was seen having fun with Chahal. Pant jokingly put a ring on Chahal's finger while Archana commented, 'Are you now engaged to him?' Rishabh was quick to reply 'Iski toh ho chuki hai pehle (He is already engaged)'. Yuzi clarified and joked "Jaa bhi chuki hai (It is over as well)". It was a reference to his divorce with Dhanashree that was finalised this year. The conversation did not end there as Archana invited Chahal to visit her home in Mumbai but added that he must be too busy to make the journey. However, Pant said - 'He is here all the time!" Chahal was amused with the exchange as he replied - 'Sabko bata de tu (Why don't you just announce it to everyone?)" Rishabh left everyone in splits as he started shouting on the set. Meanwhile, amid the India vs England Test series, a video clip from a Netflix broadcast of a 'Kapil Sharma Show' episode involving Rishabh Pant, Yuzvendra Chahal and Gautam Gambhir is going viral. "In most families there is a jethani who's calling the shots. Who is such a player? Someone who orders everyone, even if they're just taking advantage of their seniority," Kapil Sharma can be seen asking. "Rohit bhai is like that," Rishabh Pant said. "Maine kaha, Rohit ka naam lele, abb toh retire ho gaya (Take Rohit's name, he's retired now)," Gambhir said with a smile on his face.
