CHHOBI

Is a small graphic narrative depicting a strained relationship between a father and his daughter.

As kids we often do not understand the complexities of another character, let alone another adult but we never fail to understand the physical cues that comes from the opposite person. Because kids are very receptive to the body language/ signals that they get from another human. So from an early age onwards we either gravitate or distance ourselves from certain people.

This often happens at a very basic level in a family. We are usually either close to our mothers or our fathers a little more than the other. Sometimes even after the lack of interest a kid tries and tries to break that wall and get close to their parent. While other times they don't need to struggle at all for that company or love or interest.

This graphic novel shows the story of a young girl who longs for her father's presence in her life but somehow it always becomes a distant dream.
