Artist turns Indian Tinder experiences into beautiful drawings

An Indian artist has been illustrating the real-life experiences of Tinder users in the country on Instagram and Facebook. Called the #100IndianTinderTales, the project crowdsources candid and intimate stories of love, desire and fleeting encounters. Indu Harikumar, an illustrator and writer from Mumbai, began the '100 Indian Tinder Tales' project in April after trying out the app, first during a visit to Vienna, and then back home. She started with her own experiences and those of her friends, but the project grew into an attempt to "document urban desire without any sort of judgement" and to understand how other people navigated Tinder. "I am interested in people's stories, what makes them tick, their fears, their aspirations, how they overcome things," Harikumar told Mashable.
