Rang Bhari!

 The colourful energy of Punjab and its awesomeness is truly inspring, in every way.
My next venture this holiday was to make this fun filled bag. Using something I found on the galli's of Amritsar, and combining it with my not-so-experienced designer brain, I was amazed at what came out of my experiment.

After ideating it ( using fabric and the phooli's ) and getting the stitching done, I asked the neighbourhood tailor if she could tell me where I could get some bright gota. She was extremely kind to hand me over some leftovers from her big collection of wastes! Thank you Poonamji!

So colourful and so much fun, it brightens my day and is now my favourite carry along!
Special thanks to the Masterji who sat through the stitching of this, Bhram Bhaiya for the support and Mummyji for taking pictures!

The idea for the PhotoShoot was to team up something formal with this fun bag, so it adds a zing , although it matches with literally anything!

The Army Wives' Diary

Since I'm home these summer holidays, I decided to stay at home and relax. Until my Mum told me that there was going to be a social evening at the club in the town where Im currently residing in.

After a lot of hestitation and pestering I agreed to join in. I dont remember the last time I performed something, so I was kind of scared. But this proved to be a gala fun time for me.  The play was titled 'The Army Wives' Diary' and was a fun take on the different stages and phases that an Army wife goes through. There was drama and a lot of humour. I enjoyed myself thoroughly during the event.

Most participants were Army Wives themselves and wanted to have a lot of fun during this play. It was decided that the play would be all fun based and different roles and characters were assigned. I was asked to shake a leg and help out here and there. After what seems like years, I danced in public, with proper steps and chereography. I dont remember the last time I had so much fun!

I also volunteered to do some sort of publicity and handle their art direction. For funs sake, I made a couple of teasers and poster (after a full fledged photoshoot) for the event. These were sent out as circulars and got good a pretty good response. The photoshoot was also a whole lot of fun, with kids and aunties giving me some wonderful poses!

Since the play was a lot of drama, for the end, I thought it would be different and fun to have a proper credit sequence, so with prior permission, I started to build on that as well. I clicked candid shots, edited and added music and compiled it together. It was an amateur attempt at a credit sequence, but it did work finally!

The play was staged on last saturday and got a huge response and even a standing ovation! People enjoyed it and I did too.

I had a wonderful experience and enjoyed every bit.
