to Escape in
When Time Became Liminal
A Partition novel, through the book cover, we depicted the turmoil of the times with a family making the tough journey across the border. The wave-like pattern and haziness emphasise the 'liminal tides'.
A Stroll Through
the 1950s
This book is an ode to vintage Bollywood when Nargis-Raj Kapoor and Shanker-Jaikishan were at the helm. For the cover, the iconic scene from 'Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua' was sketched out along with the buildings of Bombay in the background. The pop of yellow brings it all together!
Discrimination by the'Brown Goras'
The book delves into the societal schism afflicting Indian immigrant communities in various countries. Therefore, for the cover, we opted for the Toronto skyline in the background along with a torn paper effect to depict the oxymoron 'Brown Goras'.
Ekarat's World
Was Layered
Published posthumously, 'Ekarat' is a striking collection of novellas and stories. The minimalist cover—the silhouette of the author with a bigger shadow falling behind him—hints at his struggles but, more importantly, depicts the huge impact he left on people. He will always be remembered through his words .
