Siddhant

The book "Siddhant" has been inspired by the actual artworks of Siddhant Khattri, a contemporary artist. Watching his pencil dance gracefully over the canvas is a visual treat that could stir the creative bone in every person who witnesses this magic. The story has been intricately woven to bring out those aspects of an artist that people fail to recognize during their mundane life journeys. It is about the journey of a young artist, Yana, who refuses to agree that she is a fluke of nature born in a house of scientists and engineers. Her journey to discover the voice in her head that guides her when she draws, leads her to the history of her maternal grandfather who had never been mentioned at her home. With the limited sources she has and the judgemental feedback she gets about his life, she is on the verge of giving up her search and her art for good, when she discovers what a true genius he had been. Here was an artist, a genius, that the world had measured on the same scale as commoners.


This book is the author's version of an artist's life; and they have planned to take this journey together to reach out to the world!
