Eco Taka


 Embarked on a delightful journey to 'Eco-Taka,' a visionary and sustainable venture crafted by my artistic sister-in-law. Armed with a degree in textiles and design, she transitioned from aiding an NGO to co-founding 'Eco-Taka' with the eco-conscious architect Shabnam, channeling discarded scraps into a myriad of exquisite items. From mobile holders to duvet quilts, their creations are both visually stunning and environmentally conscious.


The workshop in central Pune, brimming with repurposed garments, emanates an aesthetic charm. Noteworthy was the transformation of an old saree into a captivating table runner and placemats. The dynamic duo, constantly innovating, offers custom-made treasures that cater to individual tastes, exemplified by their unique casserole caddy – padded, quilted, and adorned with a wooden handle, a perfect companion for potluck gatherings.

Beyond crafting sustainable treasures, 'Eco-Taka' has ventured into a noble initiative, training underprivileged women in stitching, embroidery, and crochet. These skilled artisans enjoy the flexibility of working from home, striking a balance between household responsibilities and contributing to the workshop's creations. 'Eco-Taka' is not just an enterprise; it's a transformative journey, weaving sustainability, creativity, and empowerment into every thread of its existence.

Here's wishing the dynamic duo behind 'Eco-Taka' boundless success and prosperity in their eco-friendly venture. May each stitch and creation resonate with sustainable triumph, paving the way for continued innovation and future expansion. Here's to a journey filled with accolades and positive impact!

The first.....

  Ah, that first kiss... The surge of electricity that dances through your veins is like a lightning bolt from Cupid himself, leaving you breathless and dizzy with anticipation. But alas, after that initial spark, reality sets in like a cruel hangover after a night of too much wine. The subsequent glasses of life are like a relentless assault on our poor livers, leaving us longing for the intoxicating euphoria of that first sip. Oh, to have every day be as blissful as that first glass of chardonnay, where worries dissolve and joy bubbles up like the effervescence in a fine champagne! And what about those first drops of monsoon? The air thick with the promise of renewal, the earth eagerly awaiting its quenching embrace. But alas, it's fleeting, like trying to hold onto water in your hands. The magic of those initial raindrops fades as quickly as it arrives, leaving us yearning for that fleeting moment of pure olfactory ecstasy. And then there's that unforgettable first walk hand

Furry Fun

  So, picture this: we were all geared up for a rockin' Saturday night out, ready to chow down on some grub and catch up with Akshaj, who we hadn't seen in ages. But oh boy, did fate have a twisted sense of humour. Akshaj's train got stuck at Brookmans Park station because of some random incident. No biggie, we thought, we'll just meet him at Hatfield instead. But then, the train decided to play a game of "let's see how long we can keep everyone waiting" for an extra 30 minutes! We were like, "Enough is enough!" and hatched a plan to rescue Akshaj from Brookmans Park. But as soon as he stepped off the train, it suddenly zoomed off without him! Talk about bad timing! We rushed to the station, only to find the road blocked by the police. Seriously, could this night get any crazier? But thanks to Gargi's common sense , she managed to break through the barricade and track down Akshaj at a nearby pub, where his phone decided to call it quits. Afte

The gooey green ....

  I've only been back a week, and I'm already on a first-name basis with Beechams( cough cold syrup/ potion). The local air is like a ninja, sneaking up on unsuspecting noses. Maybe it's the cleaner air's way of saying, "Welcome back! Let me gift you a cold." This cold has me reminiscing about my glorious KEM days, where battling bacterial sinusitis was as routine as morning coffee. Ah, the good ol' antral puncture under local anesthesia – a delightful procedure where we'd tap into the 'cheek' sinuses like seasoned plumbers fixing a leak. Picture the satisfaction as gooey, green stuff flowed out, a sight more gratifying than a waterfall. It was a dance of relief between patient and doctor. Today, suggesting such a procedure would raise eyebrows – barbaric, they'd say! But is it really, or have we just upgraded from medieval decongestants to antibiotic superheroes? In this saga of battling colds and contemplating sinus rituals, one thing rem
