This one (the kettle, not the movie), was so much fun to conceptualize and create. Over the years my Kamasutra kettle has got a lot of feedback. It is truly amazing to think that ‘publicly and officially’ we are not people who talk about sex openly. India and the Kamasutra go back a long way. […]
Of all these inspiring women online… Archana Srinivas is perhaps the one person who has had the most lasting impact on my life. It was sometime in 2008, that I saw her blog – ‘Rang Decor‘ for the first time. And I loved it. And it was seeing how effortless she made blogging ‘appear‘ that […]

Thank you to Purva Grover for the write up in the April 2012 issue of the Mercedes-Benz magazine. These is what the interview was about… 1. Borrowing elements from everyday life for inspiration. When and how did this become a part of the Indian inspiration board? I think using everyday life has always been part […]
I had no clue about this write- up. Got a call from a friend in Delhi who saw the paper first thing in the morning. And then congratulated me on Facebook. Me? I am clueless at that point. So I did a little digging, found the write up was indeed about my work and my […]
There are gods and then there are gods. In India we have them in all shapes, sizes and denominations. This kettle is dedicated to some of the ‘Gods of Cricket‘ down the ages- Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, M.S Dhoni and the one and only Sachin Tendulkar. To cricket and it’s many big and small gods […]
