"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalThis book is a compilation of thoughts and experiences that are visualised in a series of lyrical writings, poems and artworks. The idea is to juxtapose sketches both in colour and ink, artistic and literate, to create a narrative.
This narrative attempts at charting the readers’ thoughts through the mundane and mysterious contemplations on the everyday experiences and the feelings of young people growing up in India. The aspirations, yearnings and frustrations of the young find an expression in the prose and illustrations, as if the passage of life was being observed from the side lines. An attempt is made to create a singular expression of ideas and emotions, where the paint and the pen mix to create a stream of consciousness that can exist detached in the space of our mind.
The contributors view this print as a space where they have felt the freedom to express what was entrenched in their hearts: their myriad experiences, sometimes sad, sometimes confusing, sometimes joyful in their simplicity, if the mind is brought to a standstill and made to introspect.
Anoushka Thapar and Sarah Choudhary
From a very young age, expressing the unsaid with a stroke of her brush has been Sarah Choudhary’s talent. The ideas in her mind portray themselves through her paintings of a story on the canvas. For her, paint is the medium of speech. Art express those emotions, which for her, words cannot capture. This lends a unique perspective to her ideas. This eighteen-year-old, an ex-Welhamite, is currently studying spatial design and Architecturein Central Saint Martin, University of Arts, London. She is a passionate basketball player and an accomplished classical dancer.
For Anoushka Thapar, exploring the unexplored through her words is a passion, which turned into a personal printing project. Her writings are introspective and mystical in nature. They talk about time, life, beauty, reality etc. She usually writes poems and lyrical prose. She is presently working on a fictional novel. Being a seventeen-year-old, she is currently studying at Sat Paul Mittal School in Ludhiana. She is an elocutionist, par excellence and a leader in the making with very high linguistic skills.
By observing her daily routine and Sarah's artworks, she has converted her thoughts into words.
