The Artist's Voice:
"I started doodling when I didn't even know what I drew was called a doodle; for me, it was just drawing random patterns. It didn't require much effort or attention: I could listen to the teacher talk about electro magnetic field while I was drawing patterns on the last few pages of my physics notebook. But as happens with most of the things, when school ended, this too stopped. I would draw when I had to (for projects and activities) but it wasn't like before. After 5 years, I surprisingly, started again. I love colors and being surrounded with colors. So, when I saw the plain white walls of my hostel room, out of boredom, I decided that by the time I leave the MBA college, one wall of my room would be filled with colors. I couldn't paint the walls as it was against the rules, so I started doodling and pasting the doodles on the wall. Although the objective was to cover the wall with colors, I started enjoying the process. I realized how much it helped my mental well-being. I am an over thinker; my mind seldom stays calm but when I draw, it feels like, I can control my thoughts. As a kid, I may not have realized it but as an adult, often times, we find it difficult to appear sane in the eyes of others. Don't we? This became one of the few things that kept me sane. I couldn't completely dress the wall with my drawings before I had to leave the hostel room. College had ended but this time, doodling didn't stop. I promised myself that I won't let this habit of mine be forgotten; I would draw regularly and religiously. This is why I started my Instagram page, The doodle diet; to be regular and consistent. Doodling is no longer a hobby or even a passion. It is something that makes me comfortable; that helps me take care of my overthinking brain; something that I know, is always in my control; something I know I cannot ever mess up. I don't care or think about thinking twice or not making mistakes when i draw; I feel free. Although I like the validation that I get online, it is mostly the journey, the process of making something creative with the not so creative thoughts that I enjoy more.."
