Chitrakar || Rehan Kaushik

Rooh is an artist who paints dreams of an utopian world on his canvas – a world free of hatred, war, envy and war; a world enchanted by love and compassion. In all his dreams, his constant trooper is a magician who leads the way. Rooh traverses through different territories, finds himself in the throes of love, snaps out of it but his dream plays on. In the misty mountains of Tibet, he finally encounters a sage who is believed to possess the potent seed that can transform the world and manifest his only wish. Heavy on magic-realism, Rehan Kaushik has moved between the two spheres of dream and reality with such precision and ease that we readers are lured into the fantastical cosmos of ‘Chitrakar’.
