A young girl selling mawa cakes on a Mumbai train noticed Diya Mary Joseph, a fourth-year student at Rizvi College of Architecture, using a brush pen in the train compartment (see bottom right pic). Joseph had spotted her first; she was sketching the girl in her 10x10 centimetre self-made sketchbook. The girl wasn’t Joseph’s first subject. The 21-year-old picks one or a few unsuspecting subjects to document every day on her three-hour commute. And if they catch the artist mid-stroke, they’re delighted to play muse, like the child with the cakes was. “She happily flipped through all of my sketches,” Joseph recalls of the encounter.
