“A devoted artist and illustrator, I transformed into an author when my children entered my world. Four enchanting books emerged from my creative realm: “Tales of Hannu the Monkey God,” “Tales of Gannu, the God of Beginnings,” “Tales of Vishnu the Divine,” and Tales of Shiva and Parvati,”. These illustrated gems delve into Indian Mythology, a playful gateway for children to explore stories about our traditions and culture.

Curiosity sparked when my child questioned my chants before a deity. To quench his thirst for knowledge, I crafted these captivating books, intertwining shlokas, mantras, and timeless tales. With two superhero-obsessed boys, I aimed to introduce Hanuman alongside Batman and Superman, fostering cultural richness in their imaginative landscape.

In an era of diminishing joint families, storytelling from elders faces extinction. I sensed the need for a revival, easing the burden on mothers to impart wisdom. The overwhelming love I received after the first book was released fueled my passion, and my children, now my art critics, became my guiding light for making the next three books even more captivating.

As an art enthusiast, I find solace in sketching, cartoons, caricatures, paintings, and pen-and-ink creations. Workshops and a comic strip titled “Idli-Vada” emerged, inspired by my children’s antics. Parenting unfolds as a joyous challenge, urging me to never surrender.

Navigating the labyrinth of freelance artistry, where credibility often falters, I persist, echoing the mantra: believe in yourself and your craft. Amidst life’s cacophony, silence the doubts, for dreams and goals materialize with unwavering perseverance. Embracing the perpetual journey of learning, I affirm that the symphony of creativity knows no end.”
