Aryaa - the comic book
I know it's hard to read this here and I wish I knew a way to upload a pdf on my blog. Till I figure out how to do that in blogspot, you'll just have to download this and read it like a jpeg. :( The artist in me says Boohoo! But zee engineer says, "If you leave behind an email id, I'll mail you the pdf. Promise!"

Aryaa - Official press release
No reporters! No cameras. No problemo. The author, the cartoonist and the media manager (who happen to be the same people) will do both the questioning and answering.
Q: Who is Aryaa?
A: She's just a regular kid with perhaps a wee bit more special powers than the rest of us. Of course she has no clue she's special (like the rest of us, anyone?). The comic traces her path to discovering her extra-ordinary powers, finding why she has them and how she eventually puts them to use. Set but not restricted in the backdrop of corporate world.
Q: Will people sue me after reading this?
A: Aah, I don't know wether to be flattered or offended. But that's a good question. See that is why I write under a secret pen name (7Miles Per Hour) and a secret publisher (Lawn Mowed Cheap Publications).
Q: Why pick 'Aryaa'?
A: I liked the name coz it means Saraswati. Also I didn't want to create a superhero called 'Adrianna' or 'Celtica' becasue this comic is Indian. Indian setting, Indian story, Indian spirit. You'll find Everest Reddys, Uttam Banerjees, Rainas in it too. You don't have to extrapolate your imagniation. Aryaa is YOU. Made, drawn, published for YOU.
Q: Is Uttam Banerjee you idea of a perfect bachelor?
A: Who said Banjo was a bachelor? But yeah, he is pretty funny and he does have a ruthless charm, if that is what you mean. Though why he remains so put off with the world is a secret yet to be revealed.
Q: Everest Reddy, he isn't real.
A: First thing, that wasn't a question. Second thing, in this cynical world we need a little hope and goodwill. Reddy is my contribution towards bringing a little joy into an otherwise brutal comic book. And I have met an Everst Reddy in real life, so I am not being unrealistic. Also don't underestimate Everest's role in the episode to come. Who knows?
Q: How did you concieve the character Acharya? What is the conept of Fourth dimension?
A: I just hate it when people leak names and stories from unreleased episodes. You will know about Acharya when I release 'The Awakening'. (Tight lipped silence)
Q: Raina...
A: Ok enough questions. You just don't seem to want to wait for the second episode to release before spilling out all the fun facts. Thank you. This press release is now officially over.
