To someone I loved & now just respect!!

Everytime we saw those awareness shows shunning caste and creed, highlighting discrimination and inequalities, there were responses that suggested your shunning of these evils too. Hence I grew up associating the same with the less educated, the less privileged living in the rural nowheres in India. You have proven me wrong.

I have grown up now to see beyond the hypocrisies of the sophisticated societies. You shun the evils and term them rural. But you kill your daughters just as well. (80% of female foeticides in India happen in cities, the rural folk just concentrat on the next one). Yours is a world shrouded in a glittering cover up. Yours is a world with dual meanings, where business meets mingle with pleasure, where five stars hotels shroud many screams, where a few pictures of Gandhiji empowers you to kill his teachings. Yours is a busy world, when you cant pause to hear beyond her "hello", when you cannot bother to know she needs anything more than the amount you send, when you donot bother to know if it gonna be good night after you have said so.

If this is civilization I rather choose to be in the jungles than such cities.

When I did not learn print design

Going through a lot of old files I found these, once very prized works of "art" now lies beneath a years worth of dust. 

Instructions were to make thematic "designs" / "prints" by material manipulation.

The Aim of the exercise was to open our minds to think beyond the concepts, I believe. Not too successful with me at any rate. But I still cant understand the purpose of using fevicol, burnt effect over it, marbling (practically anything under the sun) to make prints. Half these prints cannot possibly be printed on fabric and for the ones that can actually be replicated, i have not so far seen any industry encouraging such means of designing. So, while my age old debate with the system will continue. let me explain the concept down here.

Many theme boards, mood boards, bored boards, tantrums later I did pass the module. But I was then a textile designer who couldnt make a design on fabric. Many explanations and justifications later, I failed the interview!!
