Why you need to learn to say No!

    I have been trying to get this out of my system for long now, but let’s just say it has been pretty difficult. In fact to put it in simple words, I’ve been scared to even talk about it, simply because it involves someone so influential and someone who I truly admired and …

The Silent Mourner? No More.

MEET ANWESH SAHOO

Hi! I'm Anwesh Sahoo, former Mr. Gay World India 2016, and welcome to my world of 'Effeminare'! I'm a fashion illustrator, a freelance writer (find most of recent works at swaddle.com), a model, a dancer and a TEDx speaker. I am a voracious writer, optimist and a lover of old-school Indian art, music and fashion. While I’d like to believe that I’m a firm believer in practicality, a part of me loves living in a world of possibilities. That’s exactly what "The Effeminare" is all about. A parallel universe where I get to be an illustrator and draw everything I love, from fashion illustrations to a Utopian world I'd want to be a part of. I look at my life as a thrilling mystery novel written by God and since the novel has only started, I’d go with- ‘I am still evolving’!
