Mansingh Vyam, who is in standard XII, creates ink drawings of birds and forests on paper. As a young child his parents, Durga Bai and Subhash Vyam, often took him to visit the village of Sonpuri, where he spent a lot of time watching the birds in their natural habitat. He feels birds are much happier in the village. Mansingh has won every creative competition in his school since he was six years old.

His friends would laugh at him, saying he was participating in competitions meant for girls, like rangoli (floor painting), to which Mansingh always replied that there are no distinctions in the area of creativity.

Man Singh wants to be an engineer and a painter when he completes his education.
