a pet brings out
the best things in our life. They
elevate our mood. Pets provide
us unconditional love and loyalty.
They are the warmest companions.
Here is a conversation with
Heena Khokha, a former model
at Grazia India and Miss Maxim
2011, who has not just excelled in
her professional life but has been
compassionate in her personal life
especially with the bond she shares
with her pet, Snoopy!
Recalling the childhood memories,
Heena shares that she was always
surrounded by animals. Her father
was a forest officer. She used to
have eight rabbits and a deer when
she lived with her father.
“Snoopy is a cuddle baby. He is
six-months old. We celebrate its
birthday on the first week of
April. I love animals. Back in my
mother’s home, I have got two
pets named Liza and Louise,” she
exclaimed with joy.
A companion around is always
a blessing and so does Heena
belief when she shares, “Snoopy
loves to eat dog food, chicken
balls and green vegetables.
Having him around is the best
thing ever. Snoopy was a surprise
gift to me by my husband. I
didn’t own a pet for a very long
time and then snoopy happened.
I remember when we got him I
was having a tough time going on
with my work. But after looking
at him I forgot all about my
stress. He is a naughty baby and
wants to cuddle every time.”
“Pets are stress busters. They
release our stress and boost our
mood. When you own a pet and
come back home from work, you
always know somebody is waiting
for you eagerly. When I come
home, it jumps around me and
makes me forget everything. It
just makes me happy.”
Nothing is more joyous than
owning a pet and sharing the love
and compassion between each
another forever!

The technique
These paintings are done on
handmade paper, made of material
consisting of bamboo, cotton,
popularly known as, Sialkot paper.
After the lines are drawn on the
paper, it is given a coat of white
paint. The surface of the paper
is polished by rubbing a smooth
stone on it and colours are applied
on this surface. The painters use
stencils to reproduce more copies
of the painting. Square formats, a
background usually consisting of
double story building structure with
elaborate shikharas, lotuses and other
decorative elements, faces in profile,
with intense eyes, like, lotus petals,
and heads oval in shape with receding
foreheads, signify Basohli miniature
painting. A distinctive technique of
Basohli paintings is the depiction of
ornaments, like, for jewellery, thick
raised drops of white paint are used,
and, for emeralds, particles of green
beetles are used. Sadly, this style of
painting began to decline in the 19th
century under the impact of Western
colours and technique of painting,
but not before it achieved excellence
in the art of miniature paining.
The legacy
Basohli miniature art within its few
inches of length and breadth seems
to translate legends of ages, faith of
generations, eternal yearnings of
those who were in love, glow of
youthful faces, serenity of soul,
and human efforts of pain and
pleasure.
