Wool Lampshade 
To make this lampshade we need wool, balloon, cornstarch and glue. Inflate the balloon to the required size. Next the wool or thread needs to be dipped in a mixture of cornstarch, glue and water in the correct consistency (not too thick or thin). Start wrapping the balloon with the wool randomly but keeping a space in top corner. This space would be used to insert the bulb/wiring for the lamp. Continue wrapping the balloon but ensure the wool is sticking to each other. Let it dry overnight. Once it is fully dry the balloon is deflated and taken out and the lamp is ready. It can be used on a stand or a hung from the ceiling with the help of wiring. It can be used as a centerpiece of dinner parties and smaller wool balls can be used as christmas ornaments.

Recycled CD coasters 
Old and damages cd were used to make these simple coasters. First coat the cd with acrylic colour and let it dry. Preferably use black and blue because it acts as a strong base coat and easier to scrape off. Do experiment with other colours as well. Once it is dry, use something sharp and pointed like a pencil or old pen refill to scrape out the colours. Whichever part you scrape out shows the real cd colour. Use your creativity to make any design you want to. Put varnish on top of it to make it resistant and it is ready to use.

Recycled wine bottle Multicolored  thread and wool used to cover an old wine bottle with glue. It can be used as planter or simply for decoration. Using ropes gives a awesome rustic look. Great creative with different colour threads. :)                                                                     Pen stand- recycled newspapers Old newspaper rolled into circles and then put together to make a vase. They are rolled to look like small snails. The base is made in the same way, paper rolled into a circle (depending on how big you want your vase to be). You need immense patience to just keep making these rolls and can get frustrating at times. :) Once done, colour them with acrylic colours for more durability and start attaching it to the base with an  ...

Entanglement

Entanglement Was it a mistake? The most endearing one Was it your embrace? The most impressionable Was it hurt? It did lacerate Was it friendship? But it’s always vague Was it a moment? Ethereal and abysmal   Was it your caress? Perhaps a transitory relapse Was it love? I did feel so… Was it love? But it’s always vague.

Fitness Shitness Hai Rabba !!

Image
Never in my life have I been a fitness freak or someone who even does exercise inside the house. Hitting the gym was always on the ' to do' list that kept changing every year, keeping only the laziness constant. Infact the only fitness related activity I have ever done in my life would include taking my school children for sports classes and maybe doing a bit of stretching there. Even as a student I remember bunking all my sports classes and march past practices. I had invented  a 'rare' disease which I used in my swimming classes and even got a doctor to write a prescription!  I would get an allergy when I would come in contact with water and sunlight. I hope the advancement in science probably would have found a cure for this deadly disease by now.  It wasn't till a recent party where my obvious paunch was a little too obvious and encouraged a particularly drunk lady to point it out. " Well, such things happen at your age, she said." such thin...
