The tale, released on April 15, is told through 11 black-and-white illustrations. Pranita Kocharekar, 23, a freelance illustrator and artist based in Mumbai, released a short children's story on Instagram about a whale who is teased by people because he is 'fat'. Over the past six months, a growing number of young artists, poets, writers and animators from across the country have taken to Instagram to tell stories of places, people, and social issues through photographs and photo-driven posts. "Rajesh's dream is to work in a hotel and not do what he is currently doing," says Joshi, 34, who travels frequently and takes his pictures on his travels. It is a 365-day project, launched on January 1, that has him asking tailors, vendors, mechanics and others from across the country to share their dreams on the social networking site. This image is part of Joshi's photo-stories initiative titled Tell Me Your Dream 2015. Joshi shared Rajesh's photograph and life story on his Instagram account, and got more than 500 Likes and comments in one day.

Late last month, in a narrow bylane in Pune, product designer Siddhartha Joshi met a 15-year-old behrupiya or traditional impressionist named Rajesh.
