"I started painting more in 2016 and I used to post the pictures of my art on the social media platforms for which I received a great response. It encouraged me to paint more. Earlier, I used to think it is my hobby but during this time, I realised it was my passion," she said.

Being an artist, Tabish sees even a broken cup and chinar leaf as her canvas.

"I paint on canvas sheet, papers but I also paint on waste material like chinar leaves, wooden block, broken cup, plate eggshell, and stone. As I believe that nothing is useless, it is the way you see the object. When those useless things are painted, it is turned into a beautiful art piece," she added.

On being asked about her parent's reaction to her painting, Tabish said, "Currently, I am in the fourth year of my medical course. My parents have always been supportive. They have encouraged me to pursue both painting and MBBS." 'Lockdown', Book by Scottish Author Peter May on Pandemic, Once Rejected For Being Highly Unrealistic, Gets Published 15 Years Later.
