this image above is how my concept sketches are being layed out.Jasoosi (meaning 'detection or inspection' in Hindi)
is a very sneaky sly character.
Jitu (my cosmic copartner and co writer of Khoya (co-kho)
who works at greenpeace was telling me about how there's a new wave of environmental sluething or spying.
I found this fascinating! No more are our spies simply defending some damsel in distress or govt secrets
but they defend the earth.
This is how Jasoosi was born.
She's a slinky character. You never see her for too long.
She appears with those wind spindly thingies and disappears within seconds.
She does however, help Maya and Talisma along their journey by helping them along the way in their greatest times of distress.
She carries a little satchel on her belt that contains a whole host of different interesting items that can be used for sleuthing.
She also carries within it - Fireflies.
Remember fireflies from the first story? The beginning of Khoya?
A single firefly being trapped in a box?
Well that's the symbolic connect.
These fireflies can ward off the Nasha and chase it away by numbers of them flying into patterns like the seed of life, anahata yantra and other such mystical symbols and maps.
This again comes from personal experience of watching thousands of fireflies morph into patterns and glow in tune with each other.
They first come across Jasoosi in the Dark Forest.
This is what the map looks like when one traces one's fingertips along the surface of the Ipad screen.
thinking of how I can add more pop ups that are personal and use location and weather detection that the ipad possesses.
these are all WIP ofcourse :)
