    Nora and her friends

    This is part of my children’s book project. This is not a fully developed story yet. I took elements from various existing fairy tales to come up with a different take and view on combining the fantasy worlds and stories.

    Leaving Home

    This is a one page comic that I did recently. Leaving home in India for higher studies in the United States was a huge moment for me, on one hand it was exciting and on the other hand, I felt profound sadness at leaving my loved ones behind. I wanted to capture that emotion in this comic.

    Where do I belong?

    This is a page from my graphic novel, ‘Where do I belong?’ This is a story of a young boy and his family as they become refugees because of state sponsored violence against minorities in their country. This page shows how the boy is standing amidst a sea of people, afraid and lost.
