why did I even make this..

I was raised in India in the heart of the city of food, music and poetry; Lucknow. My parents are artists in their own domains :) Growing up I was usually in my own little world - thinking about cool comic characters and trying to create my own ones. 

​

From video games and musical artists, to comics and books, all the way to my closest friends and ex-girlfriends, I basically turned everything that I  made me feel - love, hate, joy, sorrow or any other strong emotion, into strokes of the pencil. My mother stored all of my early drawings. Even though I didn't think much of them at that time (I was 7) - she understood what they meant.​ 

​

It was my way of saying I love this feeling and it's me, diving into my own world! There is so much energy behind what we feel and I guess this is one way I choose to realise it :) It's not perfect but that's the best part!

​

This blog exists simply for me and you :) It exists for the love of feeling something weird and trying to express it. The goal is to just realise that with a pencil and dump some of my thoughts here! 

​

I hope you enjoy! I try to post monthly so check back once in a while :) 

​

Thanks mom! I wont grow up :P
