{happy weekend}

A plan for past one point five years has materialized few weeks ago. Planted a tulsi sapling in my balcony, an added company to my croton, money plant and ganesh vel!

Indeed the tulsi fills the home with its holy-ness

Miss the hostel days from where we could see all the visarjan @Girgaum Chowpatty!

Gulmohor

I would love to have my home surrounded with the flame trees - The Gulmohor; what lovely colors, full of energy!  

Working on some gulmohor inspiration today, the petals?

Tri-Color

Yesterday, I made tri-color salad for a healthy independence evening; using carrots, boiled potato and sprouted green chickpeas, with optimum salt-pepper-sugar and lime juice.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

My New Tactile Resume

I was bored with the boring paper resumes, so thought how about having a fabric resume? 

And yes, the thought materialised with printed poplins backed with leftover khadi, ikats, blockprints and some dobby weaves; to be rolled and tied like scrolls :)

PS: Resume on request :P 

Keep Calm and Blog

Found this here. It reminds me of my blog...oh how much I miss blogging!!!    *sigh* *sigh*

Cutting Chai

I love coasters. Recently made these coasters and named them "cutting chai" as they are made of "cutting" wastes :D and I am more of a chai person!   

Holi & Happiness

In a newsletter from Sanjeev Kapoor, I read the recipe of Carrot Jam. Sounded exciting and healthy as well! Ingredients were pretty basic except from something called as "pectin". In search of pectin, I discovered many other interesting aspects in the world of ingredients. But unfortunately couldn't source the pectin **sigh**sigh** 

Today, being the day of colors, I thought I should make the carrot jam be it without pectin. And here it happens...! I don't want to praise myself, but husband says "it's yummy"! :)

Find recipe here, though I have made my own version of the jam garnished with sliced almonds and colorful sugar balls from Arife La Moulde @ Crawford Market

While I was googling for pectin, I read about edible glitter. Exciting! I wanted to have one pack for myself and in search of this I reached Arife La Moulde, Shop # 556, Crawford Market, a shop that keeps the very famous edible glitter manufactured by Wilton in the US. But **sigh**sigh** it was out of stock. And instead of the edible glitter I bought these edible colorful sugar balls to make my dishes colorful. 

It's the arrival of spring and its the 

Holi Happiness! 

Loads of wishes to all of you on the festival of Colors! 

and 

Happy Women's Day! 

to all the women of the world.

SOCH : some new bags

Many of us have grown up with these kitschy colors, typical patterns, gallant textures and strong weaves... 

Yes! I'm talking about the Solapur chaddars! 

Worked on some new SOCH bags recently...

Unlike the boring rectangles, tried some ergonomic and trendy shapes. What do you think about them?

 More of SOCH here and here.
