FOLLOW ME FOR MY DISTRACTIONS & INSPIRATIONS
On a morning stroll after ages, I savored the quiet streets, doors still shut, and sleepy dogs; a reminder of how peaceful Pondicherry used to be when we visited as children. Just as I ached for the safety of that past, the refuge my father's hometown used to provide, I was gently interrupted with the question, "Are you Kirit's daughter?" And in answering, met an old friend of Daddy's, who must have recognized something of him in me. ✨ "Resist chronology. It will always try to impose itself." Delhi providing us colour, calm and charm amidst the chaos.

Sunday night drama ⚡ In her stillness, I begin to hear myself again. Breathing easier because of @suparnamathur ♥️ With both a heavy heart, and hope, I share the first in a series of what I've termed 'conservation mythology' - tales written in a modern mythological style that highlight threats to survival facing different species. 'An Orca Wails' is inspired by the endangered Southern Resident killer whales of the Pacific Northwest. Less similar to origin myths, these stories tread close to being extinction myths, but I hope that will not always be so. Link in bio to read the myth, written and illustrated by me!
