"Art has always been my backbone. I never knew I could draw until I was 12. My classmates used to ask me to draw biology diagrams for them. It was back then when I actually started playing around with all the colours and shades. But, I did feel that something was missing and I wasn't satisfied with it, so that's when I started drawing with a black gel pen. It changed my life, I never loved something as much as black gel pens. It has a little piece of my heart. I used to maintain a note pad with all my drawings and while I was in 9th grade it was stolen by somebody. I was devastated and cried my eyes out. I stopped drawing after that incident. It felt so difficult to start everything all over again. Few years passed and I went through a massive heartbreak, getting cheated on ain't easy, you know right? LOL! That was the toughest time for me and I was in college, my marks started dropping, I got backlogs in my very first year. I tried everything but nothing seemed to work. I started to hate studying, I didn't attend my classes and started failing even in internals.
That's when I again picked up my black gel pen from where I had left it and drew something on my book and in no time I felt good. That was the time when I changed. I got myself back on the track. I started drawing on my notes so that I could enjoy whatever I study, I started drawing on my face and everywhere around me.
That's when I saw the real me, that's when I felt really happy. That's when I came to know that my favourite colour is yellow." - Varshaa Bharadwaj
