Das Din- a hindi kids book

So this book happened! Das Din, my first Hindi interactive book! Pridhee was a joy to work with and hopefully there will be more in the future too!

Christmas was here!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We got back a couple of days back from Mangalore and are off today to Cochin. So excited! Here's to a wonderful New Year ahead!

Lovely little thing called love.

Sorry, the big brother music people may put an advert on the video because I'm using a song that is copyrighted.

Now go forth and be lovey :)

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi

I was overwhelmed and stoked with the help and feedback I got when drawing goddess Lakshmi, that I knew that I was going to do this more often. The extra mails asking for other gods ensured my interest too! So here is Ganesha, the most fun god to draw and again, thank you all for your help with the feedback. And Happy Ganesha Chaturthi!
Oh yes, and ofcourse, like all god drawings, you can download this image for free and use it (for non-commercial purposes) as you please :)

Let's go back to bed.

Friyeah!

Independence day and a press release!

'Twas the best long weekend ever but when I look back, it all felt like a day. Like it usually does. Sigh!




Thank you Nikhil for the write up in The Hindu & Ajay for the article photo :)

Vaha Maha Lakshmi

I cannot remember what religious festival it was but I remember I had drawn Ganesha. He’s probably the happiest Hindu god to draw! Once I published it, I got the loveliest comments for it but one not-so-happy mail. I responded with apologies and more importantly, reasons. I didn’t want to make an error again. Why was he upset? What did he not like? I never got a response which, kind of, made it all the more worrisome every time I put out drawings for religious events.

Everyone on Facebook and Instagram was so very kind helping me out with the details that I would have spent hours researching. I truly appreciate it! You guys are the best!

At the bottom is a link to a jpg that you can download, print and use for free!
May you truly be blest with gold-plated happiness and mountains of health!






Oh! because I get asked all the time: I use a Pentel brush pen with the cheapest ink I can find at the local stationary store. I think I'm using student-grade Camlin at the moment.

Happy New Year

Happy happy 2016! The year is already proving to be strangely lovely. Different, worrisome and wonderful. My kind of year!

In other news, the calendar is doing superbly and we're thrilled! We've gotten the sweetest photos as well! Blessed and grateful!

Christmas and calendars.

It's only one day in the year but I sometimes feel like I spend the entire year just waiting for December to have that cosy Christmasy feeling and play Christmas carols all day long without a tinge of guilt. To the point where New Years hence turns into the evil day that ruins it all, by changing the mood of festivities and ending it all abruptly. And this year's Christmas seemed to run at Bolt speed. Well, only 362 days left now!

But on a grateful note, the New Year's calendar is here!! Hoorah!
This year the calendar revolves around 'Letting go'. While you colour, you can let go of those little things that nag you- that silly insult someone said to you when you were a little girl or the game your team lost because you failed to catch the ball. Give yourself a colourful chance at being one step closer to a freeer you!

Your colour-in 'Let Go' calendar here!

I coloured in the 'Fear of Change' one because though my life revolves around change, I'm a little nervous about next year already threatening to turn my life upside down. In a good way but a scary way. I cheated and coloured in a random month though:)

World Toilet Day

Today is the UN's World Toilet Day. World Toilet Day is a day to take action. It is a day to raise awareness about all people who do not have access to a toilet – despite the human right to water and sanitation.
