Vohra

Aishwarya Vohra


Being an Air Force wife, illustrator and designer, Vohra has lived in different cities, and come to appreciate their uniqueness, which she saw rubbing off on their residents too. She wanted to create a calendar that celebrated these cities, and gave people things to identify with, thus honouring our desiness. The collection includes cities like Chennai, Amritsar, Mumbai and Hyderabad, and Vohra hopes to expand on her Dil Se Desi range next year. The desk calendars are priced at Rs 599 and the wall calendars at Rs 699.

Nikita Vaidya

Nikita Vaidya

Vaidya loves observing people, how they talk, their posture, how their hands move as they speak on the phone, the colour of their skin, their clothes and hair styles. After the first lockdown, as people slowly resumed their regular activities, Vaidya realised how important it was to have them around. She started clicking pictures of the people she saw around her and illustrating them, these ultimately forming her People calendar for 2022 (Rs 400 plus shipping). Each page has a cut mark on the top and can be used as a bookmark too.

Annada Menon

Annada Menon

Illustrator Annada Menon has developed two calendars for 2022. There is quarantine with a cat, a series dedicated to cat lovers who spent the lockdown in their company. It also celebrates those who newly became cat parents during this time, and is available in both desk (Rs 699) and wall (Rs 799) formats. Menon also has the Let’s play dress up desk calendar (Rs 699), with illustrations that are a reminder of our childhood when we wanted to try out our parents’ or siblings’ clothes and accessories, sometimes even putting on little fashion shows. Only, the sibling/friend in this series is an animal, Menon’s aim being to celebrate both animals and fashion. Both calendars have an extra month of January 2023 which is a colour-it-yourself page.
