Bharatnatyam dancer (wooden chair)
Designer: Sabiha Mujtaba @ Chrysalis
Today is international dance day and I just thought how this art form has inspired our designers and artists. Let us celebrate dance through dance inspired designs.
Orange Island wall clocks
Designer: Unminuto
On maniac Mondays it is good to find some orange fresh times in your kitchen. You might like to indulge in urban life or best ever times too!
Glass wall clock
Designer: Kavisa Mehta @ zerothreeseven
These fun, funky and beautiful yet graphic-al wall clocks are created by Mumbai based graphic designer Kavisa Mehta.
Key calender by Nendo
Open sesame
And time will flow …..
Like opening a new door, like getting a new opportunity, like a key unlocks ‘click’ and lo! I can start and pause time anytime I want!
This Key calendar by Nendo is my all time favourite calendar.
This perpetual calendar is too simple in design but creates absolute attraction for me!
I said these are exciting times. In fact these are a little overwhelming times for me!!
Have too many butterflies in my stomach!
An African café in Europe! How does it sound!
I have a request to suggest design ideas for the café.
Another request for redesigning a traditional Kerala home
A dear reader friend wants help in defining textiles and patterns for ‘a thing’ of everyday use! (Please let me not spill all the beans!)
A mega post or better still an e-book is taking shape.
A student has asked for a specific post on yacht and ship interiors!
(Does this mean – power of blogging?)
Thank You by DesignFlute
How soon I will share? The answer now is – yikes!!
(I really think I need 72 hours a day. Anybody lending this commodity!)
Before the year end (2008) I wanted to put a very small design portfolio on Coroflot /Behance/ Design Spotter (yav..yikes..eee… whatever)!!!
Hopefully this dream of mine will see the light of the day this year.
I am grateful to family and friends (for taking me granted that I can design anything and everything and just dumping the task on me!),
to young designers (who not just inspired me but really egged me on with their very positive words & wishes!)
to my dear readers (even though complete strangers they lovingly demanded to see my own designs!)
and to all my blogger friends.
Last but not at all the least –
In last six months I have got quite a few sponsorship offers!
Doesn’t it sound wow & why did I have to throw it away!
As wordpress don’t allow ads I have to move to my own hosting!
Yes! I have something very special to share with you all – I am moving!
I will not stop blogging here but my main platform will be the one I will announce soon.
(Yeah! I need all the luck!)
Too exited now…
There are too many things pending too … time to run off …
Ever had a dream of flying! Know that weightless – exhilarating feeling!
I feel I am flying!
These are real exciting times.

But
The culprit ‘time’ is on the run!
I always thought these are last of my ‘too busy’ days. I would have more time from next week, next month …..
And now the next year has already begun!
Israeli time
Designer: Moti Barzilay
A clock that shows Israeli characteristics of ‘ doing things perfectly on schedule’.
Last year had proved totally impossible on time front.
So first few apologies…,
And then gratitude, thanks and exiting news to share…
I have too many requests pending from designers.
I am sure who wrote sweet e-mails to me must have written me off as a complete prude! (I am not one and will try to communicate even it sounds too late!)
I have been tagged twice – first I felt shy to write about myself. But as I sat down to think; many a thing fell into place. I specially want to thank Vineeta of artnlight for tagging me as I started to see myself in a clearer perspective (which was overdue)!
(And yes I wanted to make a short film instead of a post. Now I know that was a wrong decision.)
I have not been able to visit design blogosphere in last six (six? It should be ten!) months. I used to maintain a 5 day blogging schedule and see how erratic it has become. This ends too.
(Do all these sound like new year resolutions never to be followed! Nooo! Please…)
Exciting Times – II follows …
