Illustrated for Bioscopia – Kolkata Q***r & Trans Film Festival, this series came from a place of deep love for q***r and trans joy — the tiny, everyday moments that quietly hold our lives together.

Standing in that space and watching people pause, smile, recognise themselves in the characters, and take photos with the work was incredibly moving. It reminded me how powerful it is to feel seen. So often, q***r stories are framed only through pain and survival. Those stories matter, but they are not the whole truth. Our joy matters too. Q***r lives are joyful. Trans lives are joyful. And that joy is soft, loud, ordinary, radiant is also political, healing, and full of hope.

I’m deeply grateful to .for.equality for the trust, care, and space. Working with you allowed me to grow in confidence and return to my practice with gentleness and courage. It reminded me why visibility, tenderness, and holding space for each other matter so deeply.

Ending this year with immense gratitude, and stepping into what’s next with excitement and curiosity. I’m open to new creative collaborations and freelance work — feel free to reach out ✨

A few years ago, I met this very cute girl on Hinge, and I’ve had a crush on her ever since. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when she gave me a very pretty ring, and I gave her (hopefully!) a very pretty one too. 💍

It still feels surreal to experience this day, to hold this love, something my heart had always quietly desired. Growing up, I never really saw the kind of love that made me believe in its possibility. Love was something I chased, something I wondered if I’d ever truly understand. And then I met her, and somehow, it just made sense. I don’t know if there’s a scientific explanation for what happens in your system when you meet someone who’s meant for you, but something definitely did happen in mine. From the tough days to the days we celebrated our wins, from needing space to learning how to hold space, we’ve grown, we’ve stumbled, we’ve figured ourselves out, and we’ve kept believing in us. To have someone who learned to ride a scooty just to take me places I’d never been, who plans things with so much love and effort, who proposed to me with so much thought and care , it still takes my breath away.

You’ve made me believe in love in ways I didn’t know were possible. You’ve made me want to do better, to shine brighter and to live fuller. The universe knows how deeply grateful I am for you. This is the beginning of something new, something beautiful, and something brighter. And yes, I am very, very, very deeply in love with this beautiful woman. ❤️

New York with RAP has been nothing short of life-changing. This journey gave me an incredible cohort, people I can now call my own, friends from across countries and continents I never imagined I’d get to meet. To share space, stories, and dreams with all of you has been a privilege I’ll carry forever. My only wish is that our paths cross again soon, because this bond is too precious to let distance take away. Grateful and indebted to everyone who made this possible.

On this Youth Day, let us all remember that our Youth carry within them the power to reimagine and rebuild the world with courage and compassion.

From a 15-year-old questioning gender norms and emotions,
to a 12-year-old breaking free from generational shame with the courage that comes from right information,
to a 13-year-old dreaming of stronger schools, kinder streets, and a community free from judgment, these voices remind us that change starts young, grows strong, and transforms everything it touches.

Rangeen Khidki Foundation proudly celebrates our youth’s truth, courage, and the world they are already building. 🌈

When I watched Project Priyo on the big screen at KASHISH 2025, I was overwhelmed. Emotions flooded in, but words somehow escaped me. What this film has given me as a Dalit q***r enby person, as a social work professional, and as a filmmaker, is truly beyond articulation.
Project Priyo is a collective dream, nearly two years in the making. A culmination of effort, care, courage, and community. From writing the proposal with who grounded and held me through every phase, to receiving the support of Numun Fund that made this possible, this journey has been one of deep collaboration and love.
All of us at Rangeen Khidki Foundation poured our hearts into this documentary.
Lucky Neog , with his quiet brilliance, captured magic through the lens and shaped the story in the edit. , , , and the fearless stars of this film, shared their truths with an openness that stays with you. Sanjina Gupta and held the project with immense care and conviction every step of the way. not only handled all things finance but stood up for us when it mattered most.
We were also held by the many cafés, homes, and hearts that welcomed us, made space for us, and reminded us that storytelling is always a shared act. And to everyone who has watched Priyo, to those who saw a part of themselves in it, you have my deepest gratitude.
When the nomination for the Ismat Chughtai Award for Best Woman Filmmaker of Indian Origin came in, I wasn’t sure how to feel. As someone who doesn’t exist within the binary, it was complicated. But after many heartfelt and encouraging conversation , I began to understand that sometimes, taking up space is part of creating more space.
Thank you to the jury and team at for believing in Priyo, for holding space for it, and for awarding me the Ismat Chugtai Best woman filmmaker of Indian origin.
This win is collective💙
I hope this is just the beginning for more films, more art, and more storytelling by us, for us.

Summing my whole personality in this wasn’t that hard honestly.
Don’t need Ai to make me look like a toy, if i can make a joke out of myself I can do this bit too

Thank you Babasaheb, for giving us the courage to dream, to dissent, and to fight for dignity and our rights.

How much of myself is shaped by what the world expects me to be? The more I look, the more I lose sight of who I am. Caste, gender, and age dictate how we are seen and often, how we see ourselves. The mirror should reflect us, but sometimes it only shows the weight of everything we were told to be.

As we move through Dalit History Month, this is a reminder that our histories, identities, and reflections are ours to reclaim.

Today has been a hard day but the past few weeks have been truly a pain in my 🍑
I know am not in this alone so am putting this thought out there so we can all sulk together or yk find solidarity.

Should be the cover of a book I need to write. But in all honesty it was supposed to be the cover of a zine i was working on and never completed.
But on the other note, it is a good reminder on that s*x , external/ internal genitalia or bodies do not suggest gender.
