Hunarr Bahuguna - The Budding Illustrator

19 Nov 2021

The pandemic has changed so many things.
For some, life changed, businesses collapsed, finances fumbled, for others, basic necessities were at stake.
However, I have come across people who used this whole lockdown and social distancing constructively and fruitfully.
People found time to pause and do self-introspection, spend time with family,
perceive hobbies, picking up new skills to learn.
Some of my friends even started their business ventures during the pandemic.
I somehow feel this pandemic has been an eye-opener, helping us set our priorities rightly,
realizing what matters, really; investing time in the right things and people,
making us hear our inner voices to eventually nurture our hobby and passion.
Almost two years, and we now are capable of living without traveling, shopping,
and many other luxuries that otherwise we're easily available! The generations to come would read stories of survival from this pandemic !

I also tried making most of this pandemic in my way,
kept writing almost every single day to keep myself sane,
and it helped me; so well that I ended up releasing two books!
Today I am going to share another story of a little girl who also made the best use of all
time she got in lockdown and is all set to make a debut being published as an
illustrator in my book "Whispers Of a Budgie" at the age of 9! Read on to know more!

She enjoys working with patterns, colors, and designs.

Upon asking, “What made her draw?” she says, “Actually Aunty, I was very poor at drawing.
I made my very first drawing when I was pestering my dad to play with me,
he instead chose to rest on his favorite couch!” inspiration can come from anywhere if we are genuinely seeking it!
Also talking about her plans,
she dreams of writing as well as illustrating her storybook!
It was an absolute pleasure working with this hard-working, super talented, and dedicated girl.
I wish her loads of success, love, and best wishes for her colorful life ahead !
