Why we fear darkness? It is only the absence of light. But that absence too, is necessary to see the brightest moments of our lives. Sometimes life feels a little hazy, and you crave hope and positivity just like you wait for clear skies after the days of thunderstorms. Ekta brings that sunlight into people’s lives with her soothing voice, and changes their najariya to look at life.
With Open Easel, we’re multiplying this positivity and bring joy to each one of you. Watch this full episode on YouTube and share your thoughts in the comments. Link in the bio.

Ekta Sandhir is known for her calming voice, her insights on daily life, and of course her positivity. At the Open Easel, Ekta said something that stayed with us. What she has created is a reflection of who she is, her canvas sums up who she is. It gave us immense joy to facilitate her expression on the canvas. Her energy is infectious.
That's what Open Easel does. It doesn't ask you what you want to paint. It asks you who you are.

Whatever your age, you can be young and energetic by choice. Mrs. Sunita Nadgir defies her physical age and is childlike in her approach. She painted enthusiastically at the Open Easel. As she was painting, we learnt that Mrs. Nadgir is an avid trekker. She takes a group of her friends to the Sinhgad Fort trek every Thursday. When she painted, I could see strokes of confidence and certainty. We need more people like her who inspire us to try something new. The Open Easel is an opportunity to be childlike and fearless.
Nothing should stop anyone from trekking or Arting, no age no any excuse.

Working with someone whose work you admire most is not work but pure play. Ekta Sandhir has been spreading so much positivity throughout her career that it has made her aura spiritual. ✨
What she did on the Open Easel, which you will see is an extraordinary piece of artwork. Now looking back, I realise that it could only have happened because she has clarity of thought. She helps defog millions of minds daily through her work. I facilitated her expression.
