Aarush Prashanth

Aarush Prashanth is a 15-year-old boy who is currently studying in Grade 10 in Victorious Kidss Educares, Pune. He is very enthusiastic about making comics and understanding human behaviour. As a child he kept making caricatures and comic strips as a hobby and then in his teens, he somehow had this knack of resolving the challenges faced by his teenage friends. In fact, his friends called him ‘Therapeutic Panda’ as he always had some solution for their problems. So, that is how his love for psychology and understanding human behaviour kickstarted. He has blended his passion for psychology and art and has produced this Comic book, ‘The War of Minds’ that provides emotionally hygienic practices for maintaining a sound mental health. The author wanted to make a difference in the mindset of people reading informative graphic novels. He wanted to add the element of science fiction in his comic so that it interests the reader. The characters are from a sci-fi world with an apocalyptic setting. He is a regular practitioner of meditation and Sudarshan Kriya of the Art of Living Foundation. He understands the impact of such practices. Hence, his comic aims to provide solutions to not only teenagers but to everyone who has faced a challenge or a setback emotionally. Through this comic he aims to make people smile when they are going through difficult times. Happy Reading!
