I have written and illustrated several children's books for
publishers like Tulika. This is my fifth book with them and second as an
author. One of the painting titled ‘Facebook‘ was a rendition of a tiny
sketchbook that was filled with drawings of my friends. This painting increased
my curiosity to take it further. The idea of putting a book together for
children emerged when I started compiling all the details of my friends, who
were from diverse background doing very interesting. The book was to keep the
information of the individuals as authentic as possible while it remained
narrative and interesting that clubbed various aspects from their daily
activity in an simple order. Ideal approach was to put all the information in a
condensed manner and represent it in the format of a comic book or graphic
novel.
