About

A wandering soul trying to find herself … a student by heart , an engineer and a space / furniture designer by qualification, I have an interest in exploring what life has to offer. I enjoy painting , writing  and experimenting with teaching.

Wish to explore art and nature, long to work with children  , and look forward to growing old with my husband 🙂

Will keep updating this page as I dream .

Have started conducting workshops for children – we call ourselves , The Summer Blossoms .

We are essentially a network of connections. And nature has used its brush strokes to create stunning patterns which are always there to remind us of these connections – connections waiting to be discovered by each of us. – The Summer Blossoms

The first three months of the workshop have been designed for the children to explore the vast network that they are a part of. The workshop aims to strengthen the human to human connections as well , and in the process blur artificial borders and patterns that have been created over the years, patterns which disconnect and isolate instead of aiding oneness .

Imagination, creativity, sensitivity, expression, playfulness, curiosity , all centered around inclusiveness , is what the workshop works towards. A lot of the activities revolve and/or are inspired by nature. The children are encouraged to be themselves, build friendships, to explore themselves, and develop a sense of wonder beyond the visible. We study visual art, creative writing, poetry, typography, explore story-telling techniques; we watch animations and science documentaries, hold discussions on various topics – from love, respect, fear , to what languages the animals and plants might be using, to how gears work. We also have a book club where we read and study the works of various writers and poets.

Through this blog, I wish to share my learnings with you, and learn from all of you.
