Love, Life, Work.....

are the things that sometimes need a pause button...Not to stop forever.

But to begin something new...afresh all over again.

Here is to a Shubhaarambh!!

Handmade Collective -Stories of A Hundred Hands...

Winter is the time for colours, celebrations and shopping in India. With the Christmas and New Year holiday season approaching, Bangalore sees an array of small and big melas and bazaars where we Bangaloreans satisfy our shopping cravings.

A not so short stint away from this beautiful city, which had embraced me into its folds years back, had made me long and pine over the things I missed in the last 2 years. Wanna see how Bangalore welcomed me back?

This weekend saw me at one of the first events happening in the city and thereby marking the beginning of a shopping filled festive season.

Spread over 5 days(and also including a weekend), the organizers made it convenient for all those who wanted to visit.

Dilli Haat at its Best

There was a mela happening at Dilli Haat last week and as soon as my friend P spotted the details in the newspaper, she wanted to go.

And who gave her company?? None other than your's truly.

We met at the INA Market Metro Station and headed straight to Dilli Haat. Wanna join?Come, walk with me through the vibrant stalls at Dilli Haat.

Awesome Papier Mache from J&K

Patachithra and Warli Panels

Pen Holders/Stands made from mother boards..Awesome creativity isn't it? These lovely pieces are done by an NGO for underprivileged children. I was amazed by the kind of recycling ideas they had.

Now, this was the stall that attracted me the most. Look at those clay creations..Aren't they so different from what we normally see in the markets?
