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!

_Starry Laughs_

  _Starry Laughs_ My cousin, her friend Veena, and I went on a hill station adventure that felt like a breath of fresh air, literally. Girivan, nestled in the Sahyadri ranges, proved to be a tranquil escape from the crowded chaos of other popular hill stations. Veena, our gracious host, led us to her farmhouse, and the journey up the windy and uphill roads was an experience in itself. Finally reaching her house was like stumbling upon a hidden gem—a classic Spanish villa with bold yellow walls bordered in deep red, standing proudly amid lush greenery. Veena's garden resembled a botanical wonderland, featuring an assortment of trees, from mangoes to bayleaf, palm to bananas. It was a paradise where guava, jaam, amla, peppercorn, and betel leaf creepers coexisted in harmony, creating a serene and zen-like atmosphere. Our taste buds were treated to a culinary spread by Veena's talented housekeeper. Rustic chicken gravy, sautéed dried fish (बोंबील), bhakri, and warm इंद्रायणी भ...

Vede Man

वाळूमध्ये वेडे मन शिंपले शोधत राहते  वाळूमध्ये वेडे मन शिंपले शोधत राहते,   कण्हेरी च्या फुलामध्ये गुलाब हुडकू लागते.  अंधाराला भ्यालीस तरी ठरशील तू भ्याड  अंधाराला भ्यालीस तरी ठरशील तू भ्याड  सोडू नकोस त्या विचाराना, मूल ते  चंचल अन द्वाड ! अनोळखी रस्ता, वाटा पाय  राहतात शोधत  अनोळखी रस्ता वाटा  पाय  राहतात शोधत पिसाट वारा मात्र  गुपित राहतो  सांगत.  मन काहीबाही जेव्हा, सांगू काही पाहत  मन काहीबाही जेव्हा सांगू काही पाहत  'गप काही बोलशील तर ' त्याला टाकते सांगून  ऐन हिवाळ्यात वसंताची ऊब शोधत राहते ऐन हिवाळ्यात वसंताची ऊब शोधत राहते किती हि  रोखा वेड मन   एकटेच गात राहत ! कितीहि  रोखा वेड मन   एकटेच  गात राहत ! 10.2.23 मनीषा पुरंदरे

आता कोनाचो नंबर!!

  Panchak movie is nothing but a hilarious rollercoaster of cosmic chaos directed by Jayant Jathar and Rahul Awate. This cinematic movie explores the belief that if you kick the bucket at a cosmic 'oopsie-daisy moment', five more family members might join the celestial waiting list – unless you've got a to-do list of rituals handy . The filmmakers have  chosen a picturesque Kokan location to enhance the overall cinematic experience.It's a breathtaking setting! The lush greenery, coconut trees, serene sea ,rustic houses, and muddy paths create a visually stunning backdrop for the movie. The Malwani dialect used  adds a unique charm to it.The movie apart from ticking my funny bone did get me thinking about the various superstions we have in our culture . Picture this: the superstition of avoiding  'झाडू '(dusting) after sunset, as if dust bunnies turn into nocturnal creatures. And let's not forget the ritualistic consumption of 'dahi-shakkar' before ex...
