Cat on Guitar
This was my first Big Sketch from 2013
I figured I never uploaded it but was always part of my home decor. And yes I was obsessed with cats and now what are the odds I have a ginger cat with me my Lou @mrlebucha

I didn’t have words when I was hugging my trans siblings. The anger sat in my chest, but I couldn’t say anything.
But when I spoke to my parents, it all came out. Because this isn’t abstract. When you vote for a government that brings in laws like this, you are voting against our existence. You are looking for them to understand you, see you, hear you but feeling unseen, unheard and conditional acceptance hurts makes you feel lonelier than ever after all you called because you needed their love.
And that hurts. It hurts a lot.
I am not looking for half acceptance. Love cannot be conditional. You cant be proud of me only when i am earning and being worthy according to you and make me feel unworthy when i am navigating career, life and my being.
These are hard times. And as I’m learning more about my neurodivergence, I’m realizing how deeply all of this affects me.
For a long time, I shelled parts of myself. My gender identity is very much cis male but my expression has often been non-binary in the he/they space and there is no one way to non binary. And hearing “it was just a phase” hurts because I realised I refrain from tapping into it in my everyday life to still feel desirable and shape myself accordingly loosing my authenticity. I’m still battling that.
But silence is also a choice.
Choosing your battles doesn’t mean you ignore injustice. If we stay silent, we are benefiting from the privilege we have.
You don't have to be an animal to support animal rights
You don't have to be queer to support queer rights.
But you are Human and Trans rights are Human Rights.

Why did I stop?
Maybe because art doesn’t always pay the bills.
Maybe because I was busy trying to shape my creativity into a filmmaking career.
Do you want me to share that journey?
Or maybe… it’s better if I just pick up my camera again after ages and go photograph the world.
Did you know I made this art?
Happy Pride Everyone!
No caption because pictures says a thousand words and I don't have time to write a loooong gratitude emotional queer joy post.
I am sure people wont read so to those of you reading
much love to y'all.
I know I have been away from the scene. I am doing well and the constant journey to strike a balance between things important in life is on going and Hey! u have my number lets talk on phone like the old times instead of sending reels 😜
Just felt like you all haven’t seen my face in a long time since I kinda stopped posting. This app isn’t what it used to be and honestly, I stopped being active because it was getting too negative. I’d scroll, get enraged and end up schooling people on their nonsense. But when mu account got suspended trying to educate people, my dear friend @durgagawdestudio reminded me that’s also engaging with the negativity.
Now I use OPAL to limit my time here and it’s helped a lot. I’ve said this before: I’m not here to be an influencer, just to be. Even today, I was about to post and that same perfectionist voice kicked in. "Oh! let me make a full carousel with all the important photos.” Then I logged off without posting classic avoidant personality as my recent personality clinical diagnosis suggested. But now I can’t get back to work unless I finally do, so here I am.
I realized I haven’t updated about my ADHD here (only in stories). So sharing those with these post because i really dont have time to create a curated content on it and kudos to people on this app who do that and are building their own brand.
And yes! new buzz cut! Feels so different. Y'all have seen me with long hair for three years and I haven’t posted in nine months since this short-hair era began. I swear, if you comment “Chapri” and disappear, you clearly don’t know that I didn’t grow up in Mumbai but way out on the outskirts in Boisar - being a bit of a chapri is in my blood.
Let me spam a little now like I did when I was 23 even though I’m 32. Maybe @forever21 should really sponsor me at this point or @olayindia 😭
The last photo I clicked as a 31 yrs old.
As I am about to step into another year around the sun, I promise myself to return to photography, something I somehow drifted away from.
I have so many photographs I’ve never shared. I remember joining Instagram for my photography journey… but the world feels different now.
Took a quiet evening walk and found this frame.
Promise me it gets better from here.
There’s still so much life to live, and so many years ahead.
Happy Birthday, Lana Del Rey! 💙
Started this sketch of Lana Del Rey back in 2023, but like many things, it got paused midway when priorities shifted. Happens more often than I’d like to admit.
Today, as I reflect on imperfections, I found the courage to be a little vulnerable and share this unfinished piece. Please be kind.
Posting this on her birthday feels just right as last yr i couldnt dare to post incomplete work.
How i love to hear this woman and the art of sketching

Aurora Borealis with soft pastels on black chart paper ✨
Found this timelapse in my GoPro archives! I was drawing this when my sister sent me photos of the Northern Lights from Iceland—perfect timing since I was deep into experimenting with soft pastels back then.
Art became my creative escape while working full-time at an investment bank, a way to balance work and life. It’s time-consuming, but I need to get back to hyperrealism. Let’s see where this journey takes me!
