WHOOSH!

I had hoped to be much more active on my blogs, as compared to earlier, but unfortunately or fortunately I have been away for two whole months! How and where these two months flew by is a question to that bewilders me. 

July was all about my new venture (which I will talk about in a bit and I am immensely excited about it), then came my Kathak shows and with it hours of rehearsals, costume designing, the usual drama and the sorts, the series of birthday's (Did I mention that July marks the start of our Birthday Calender? We have one in each month! So each of the Kumar's have a BIRTHMONTH, as opposed to the traditional Birthday! HA!) Apart from all these, my Kathak exam, Ganesh Chaturthi, ALS Ice Bucket Challenges, Raksha Bandhan, Onam and what not! July, August and bit of September just whooshed by! 

In a bid to take away the guilt of ignoring my blog, I have created collages/videos to authenticate my legit excuses.   

Excuse No. 1

Music, dance, photoshoots, videoshoots, food, waterworks and what not! Yet another fantastic Independence day celebrations! 

Kathak I Classical Dance I Independence Day I Fun I The Good Life.

In case you would like to see the other videos, here you go: Kathak

Excuse No. 2

Every Onam brings with it a fair share of banana chips, onam sadya's (feast), onam pattu (songs), dance, payasums, laughter, movies, Onam kodi (new clothes) and pookkalams (floral arrangements). This year too Onam has come with a Bang! Onam with the Kumar's.... HAPPY ONAM!

Excuse No. 3

Quite unexpectedly and but decidedly at the right time, I resolved that it was time to give wings to my dream of starting my own design practice, and just like that things started to fall into place. Sometimes we sit around wishing things would happen, but we don't put in enough effort. Sometimes we do everything in our power to make things happen, but they still don't and it frustrates us. 

And that is exactly how my new adventure The Design Connect by Neelanchana Kumar has come about as well. Fingers and toes crossed!! Although, I do have my fair share of "Why Me's" with Mr. Omnipotent, touch wood, this has been going relatively well. I don't want to jinx it and so I will not dwell further on the subject.  All I will say is that... Things fall into place when the time is RIGHT, and when we let it. 

So, it has been two months since, and here are the official before and after pictures of the first ever Project from The Design Connect Studio's.

Reception - Then and Now.

 

Cabin - Then and Now.

For the rest of the pictures you can click on this link  or you can check my Facebook page HERE! (LOL! That still sounds so weird, and pompous!) Do like, share and stay tuned for more updates and if you need an enthusiastic and gregarious Interior Designer; qualified with a Masters in Design and with an inherited, and inveterate passion for all things related to Design, you know who to look for! :) 

A little bit of self promotion doesn't hurt! HA! Cheers!
