Candid Tales
Written by Adithi Rao - based on travels of Candida Louis (India on the motorcycle) | Illustrated by Ruchi Shah
'Candid Tales' is a travelogue chronicling the travels of Candida Louis - India on a motorcycle. She is a biker who has
traveled across India and other countries. The entire book captures little moments, good samaritans, crazy travel conditions
and the kindred souls that Candida met along the way - while biking across India - Varanasi, Himachal, Ladakh, Kashmir, Rajasthan, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Being a traveling artist myself I have also visited most of the places she went to. So the union of her stories and photos mixed with my illustrations and sketches was an intriguing blend. It was printed as a black/white paperback with some small achromatic collages dotting the pages.
