Having watched AMC’s The Walking Dead combined with a healthy appetite for my undead friends led me to sign up with Leaping Windows, India’s first online graphic novel library (only operational in Mumbai for now) within minutes of finding out about it. I had to get my grimy paws on the graphic novel that served as the inspiration for […]
I hated going up to the bathroom in boarding school. In the night, during study hour, when I was done with whatever Tinkle or Enid Blyton that was hidden in my text book, I would wander up there. There was an open window at the end of a long corridor, lined on the sides with […]
