Taarika John

Cochin born Taarika John is a compulsive reader and artist, and has been one from a very young age. As a child , she often had her fingers covered in paint, or her nose buried in a book. As an adult, nothing has changed, she says. 

"I love illustration and I am a chatterbox. I like to make people laugh. In social situations, I am often identified as a "story teller." "

I absolutely love her 'Kerela Alphabet' , that hits home (with me being a Malayali). Pretty endearing.
