Zine Shop

I purchased this one from the flea market over the weekend and being a Sindhi who knows little about Sindh and always longed for more, the first couple of pages left me in tears, which was followed by the warmest hug from you ❤️ Well, I finally found the courage to read the entire 24 pages and even through the sobs, I feel lighter. Knowing that there is someone else out there with the same story, the same longing for what could have been somehow brings me peace. Thank you for writing this, this is my most cherished piece of literature in a wardrobe full of books.

Hello 🌻 You don’t know me but a friend gifted me your zine Trigger Warning. I’m so proud of you for putting your story out there. Your story is mine too and I suspect many others’. I cried as I read your words — the same words I’ve written in my journal. I just wanted to text you and say ❤️ you make me feel brave.

Strolling through Bandra yesterday, I stumbled upon your work ‘An Affair with Food.’ After glancing inside and connecting with a page, I decided to purchase it. Just finished reading it and it moved me to tears. Dealing with eating disorders and body dysmorphia has been a long struggle for me and I’m always on the lookout for relatable content. Your piece offered the recognition and solace I sought. Thank you. I’m eager to discover more of your creations. Much love. 🤍

Hii Hansika, I just discovered one of your books called ‘coming out’ and I can’t put my thoughts in words how well you have created it! Every word every illustration just beautiful! You are beautiful and so is your art ❤️

Hi Hansika! I just got your work — an evening with starfish, I really loved it a lot couldn’t stop re-reading it! Thank you for this beautiful piece!! 🩷😊

Hi, I just read your short essay on Sindh and partition (a motherland I could’ve known), and just want to say it was really beautifully written and illustrated. I bought one for my friend (who is also Sindhi) and she loved it as well. So just wanted to say thanks for sharing :)

I bought this today and I am a fan already. From someone who’s been insecure about her body her entire life. Thank you for this ❤️

I’ve just spent my flight back home reading a few and wanted to say how in awe I am of your ability to take something so heavy, intangible and messy and to create something so life affirming out of it. Esp trigger warning. Thank you. Really.

We went to this zine store in Mumbai yesterday and found a particular zine interesting, picked it up and then realized you had authored it! We both picked one of our favourites from the stack — both authored by you 🥰 And it was your birthday yesterday, such a coincidence! Thank you for creating such wonderful art and for existing 🌻
