'CHILKA'

This is an page from a comic called 'Chilka' that I made with Vidyun Sabhaney. It will be published in August 2012 by Penguin India, as part of an anthology of comics compiled by The Pao Collective (https://www.facebook.com/paocollective).


 "Narrated by the trouble-making rishi Narad, this story tracks the journey of Baba- an amnesiac yet old-school warrior who believes that it his “destiny” to save the Pandava Arjuna from his rival Karna. All this from someone who can’t remember what he ate for breakfast in the morning! Unfortunately, Baba‘s debilitating memory problem is accompanied by the will of an ox, leading him rather unceremoniously to the eye of the storm -the Battle of Kurukshetra! This comic started as an experiment and the pair intends to create a full comic book series on the Mahabharata of this nature."
