Times New Roman & Countrymen
A single India is presented here from two vantage points in time. The small bites of “classified” text sell the excellent-quality-superb-condition-dynamic-India we live in, while the illustrations are “declassified” Hindi film visuals from the India we grew up in. Of course, everything is open to interpretation…

Ghosh’s artwork is intricate and arresting. Times New Roman & Countrymen occupies a very niche sector both in terms of publishing and buyers. A joyous ode to classified ads offers a unique insight to India.Anindita Ghose / Mint

A representation like this has the ability to unlock whatever psychoanalytical or sociological meaning these images might possess. But if the form does not irk you, or you are not done with its idiosyncratic novelty yet, Ghosh’s canvas is appealing, stimulating and entertaining.Pragya Tiwari / Deccan Herald
