Constant Confusion















In between external information and self-expression
I suffer, I learn, I complain, I enjoy, I live.

Loyalty












I have not bought a writing book for a year and a half. I feel almost guilty doing so.
When I'm in need of a book, I bind and cut it myself.
It is a little bit wonky but I believe I will get to perfection and make pure hand-bound books

Temporary Retirement

I have left work for a while to document my diploma project in order to convocate on time.

I felt powerful yesterday but it faded away today.

Sitting at Jon/Sang's place I have all the time for thinking, tinkering, writing, cooking, chai, freelancing, doodling, spell-towering and yet there seems to me a nagging deadline so near but so far away.

India Design Mark- Shortlisted entry

It has been a while since the competition has ended. It had slipped my mind to put this up. I had sent this entry and was one among the 8 shortlisted entries at the competition.

View my entry at the India Design Council site under Shortlisted Entries.... just above winner :(




























Culture in India is organically interwoven with nature. This can be seen in all aspects of our day-to-day life including occupation, lifestyle and religion. This relationship with nature is apparent in simple products we had, which were conceived from the nature, served its purpose and went back to where it came from. They lived more than one lives, being used for different purposes, which makes it almost spiritual.
A Good product [sustainable, functional, simple, and systemic] can be represented by a visual union of a Mandala, which represents the infinite whole, an organizational structure of life in the Indian context as well as in many other cultures through the world; and the product itself in the form of a dot, exuding power and uniqueness, existing in a system and synergized with the nature.
