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.
Circus: Can you find the spotted dogs?

This is part of my hidden objects series. This series is a part of my children’s book projects. In this colorful image of a circus, I have a spotted dog. Hope you can find it.
Find the Frogs in the world of Mushrooms

This is also part of my hidden objects series. This is slightly different, instead of finding one specific thing, I include ten of the same item. Can you find ten frogs?
