I Dream. I Draw. Therefore I am.
2012 had started off on a very heavy note! I was all of 16 and the fact that I had decided to opt out of a coaching centre that was milking money, time, energy and my dreams out of my system. The pressure of having opted out of that coaching centre (say X), didn't …
Back in 2009, I'd walked into Noida, a city that falls under the belt of National Capital Region or NCR, as we call it, with a pocket full of dreams and aspirations. I'd hoped that moving in to Noida from Kaniha, a small village in the outskirts of Talcher, Odisha would be my pathway …

Some of my favorite pencil sketches from over two years ago, still feels like yesterday!
So my summer vacations are finally on and I’ve taken a break from a lot of things and moved back home so that I can finally concentrate on things that I’ve always loved doing. Sketching happens to be one of them. Also we don’t have a WiFi connection at my place and the dongle that I’m left with isn’t really the kind of thing you’d associate with high-speed Internet, a.k.a it’s effing slow!

Where I currently live is far-far away from the city. So there’s no traffic, hardly any people, or any noise. So I am mostly hibernating and then the time I’m left with is usually spent in sketching…

Since I discovered Photoshop (that was back in July 2015), I've been trying my hand at different styles of sketching and illustrating using the available set of tools in the software. But all throughout remains my love for colors, and almost all the brights colors in the entire spectrum. Kolor me Kitsh came out as …
When I'd started off Effeminare back in 2014, (amidst all the resistance that there was) I believed that if I could reach out to even one individual, then that would be enough. While walking through the stats for my November post, I realized my posts have reached 38 countries ranging from Canada, USA, Netherlands, Germany, Guernsey, Belgium, …
I don’t think I would’ve ever thought about writing an article about this, especially months after having been through the sort of Internet bullying I was subjected to, not that it made me feel any less fabulous about myself (mostly because I honestly don’t give a fuck). But I’m very well aware of what the …
I have been trying to get this out of my system for long now, but let’s just say it has been pretty difficult. In fact to put it in simple words, I’ve been scared to even talk about it, simply because it involves someone so influential and someone who I truly admired and …
The recent attack on Pulse, a gay bar in Orlando has been immensely shocking and devastating and has been a huge jolt to the LGBTIQA community from the entire world. Enough speculations have been made on how the attacker was a closeted homosexual and had been a regular at Pulse himself. But the attack is a …
I very clearly remember this one time my father, my sister and I were watching 'Gladrags Supermodel Hunt' on television way back in 2003-04 or probably before that and they had a swimwear round. So they had all the men and women parading down the ramp in thongs and under-wears and there was suddenly …
