The Fluctuating Climate

Has anyone been noticing it?

In India, this time of the year is suppose to be summer. The scorching heat kind of summer. Even though the climate in Bangalore is known to be a mostly pleasant one, I have to say these thunderstorms this year do feel a little out of place. I'm not complaining, I love the rains. It could rain 10 months in a year if it was about how I would like it, but its the climate change that's becoming so evident all over the world that gets to me.

Its not like people are not aware of Global Warming, they just don't care enough. There are a number of hypothesis that scientists and coming out with. The two most likely are the ones where the melting of the Polar caps cause a temperature drop worldwide leading to another Ice Age, the other one is the melting will cause massive flooding and take in several coastal cities.

Either will impact the living species in this world. Pushing every single one to go into survival mode. As ignorant as a majority of us are, I'm thinking there might only be a handful that make it through. Nature always gets its way after all. It can live without us, we can't live without it.

Until next time

Short Stories

I've read online that the best way to get better at writing is to get creative with it.

So that's what I have been up to the past few days, writing a short story.(which according to my research can span anywhere from 1500 - 35000 words). I wasn't aware that writing something out of my imagination would need so much planing. But I've come across this method called the Snowflake Method, which seems to be working for me. My main aim this time is to finish the whole story since i tend to leave it halfway every-time I try write one.

Its the only thing I am doing right now, so it's like 'Write or get bored'.

Until next time...

Single Weave Basket

This was one of my very first attempts at basket weaving with newspaper. The process was simple and since it is single weave, it wasn't that time consuming either. The main material was rolled up newspaper sheets.  The color difference you see near the top was intentionally so. I used 2 shades of brown acrylic paint to get the desired effect.

The dimensions of the basket: 7 ½ “ in diameter & 5”depth. 

Until next time

Writing a Journal

Its been years since I've been writing in my journal, since the age of 13 actually. Yet now, when i search for things to write in my blog, i come up blank. Its probably just me being aware of a potential audience. ( talk about self diagnose! )

Like all things , this might take some getting accustomed to before i get good at it.

My most recent concern has been of "How to pack light to attend a wedding". The number of things that come to mind, Seriously. Think of the amount of things we use on a daily basis without giving it a thought. Then downsizing the whole thing. Everything from toiletries to wardrobe. Plus Indian wedding appropriate attire and jewelry! Trying to fit it all in the limit of 15kgs. Gotta pre-decide everything. It has been fun though..i must admit. Also, its for a best friend...so no complaints. 

I will be uploading my 1st product between today and tomorrow. Kept it on my "Do it Already" list. :)
