ABOUT THE POET & ILLUSTRATOR: Sarita Talwai and Nidhi B.R.

Sarita Talwai

Sarita Talwai is a Bangalore-based counsellor who especially likes working with children and parents. She is also a certified Gallup coach. A part-time writer, a full-time reader, and a crossword addict, she has conducted creative writing workshops (children’s batch) at Bangalore Writers Workshop. Her friends insist that she is mostly a curious bystander, and she is inclined to agree with them. She spends her free time reading poetry and attempting to write the perfect haiku.

Nidhi B.R.

Nidhi B.R. is an architect and designer who believes that good design has the power to infuse joy into everyday life. With a minimalist approach and a sharp eye for detail, he creates functional yet thought-provoking works that blend simplicity with depth.

His illustrations go beyond the obvious, inviting curiosity and exploration while revealing hidden layers of meaning. When not designing, he finds solace in sketching and immersing himself in nature, drawing endless inspiration from its quiet elegance.
