Best of the web :-)

I got an email from the editor of a blog called Pocket Change, asking permission to put my blog under a section called ‘Best of the web’. The answer of course, was obvious… :-)

See the post here.

Pocket Change is a shopping blog directory and is part of the Become.com network.
They say – ‘If you’re looking for shopping advice from the latest in organic products to proper pet diets to trends & beyond, check out our niche blogs. Planning a trip? Find out what our customers deem the best options. Giving a gift? Track down the cheapest good quality stuff. Visit our shopping blogs for shopping tips, gift ideas, 2012 hot products, reviews & buying guides they’ll help you get the best deals around!’

Now I know, this might not seem to really align with what I do… but what closed the decision for me was the ‘Best of the web’ section itself, and the people and blogs that have been covered. The write up on each blog is short and sweet with a single image. I stumbled on many blogs that I did not know existed, and after having gone through them, I find myself having book-marked a few!!

Happyness!

We made a video – The Theyyam Experience

We made a video, the first of many I hope!!
Reza, Supreet and I have been wanting to make a video for a while now. So the other day, Reza came home at about 10.30 in the evening, to just do some experimental shots and shoots. And he got a monster Canon 5D MK II with him :-)

Now, I was busy trying to finish the Theyyam piece in time for the extremely tight deadline that the team over at BBC GoodHomes had set. Supreet and Reza were of course, just salivating at the equipment they would get to work with. What you see are the usable clips, from an otherwise insane evening of fun and experimentation.

You can see the step-by-step progress pictures of the painting here.

I hope you all like the film. Do tell me what you think of it.

Since the Theyyam piece is a gift for GoodHomes the Magazine, I also want to take the time to tell you all about the absolutely wonderful new layout they have.  And it is their 4th anniversay this month.

The highlight of this anniversary issue is that GoodHomes magazine has been revamped and has a “new look”!
The GoodHomes April Issue focuses on Investing in Art, Rainbow hue accessories, Easter treats, Eco- conscious living, smart home solutions, regal to contemporary decor styles, and giveaways worth Rs. 4 lakhs! It has breathtaking pictures and excellent combinations of style and decor that can make your home look lovely!
Head on over to their FaceBook page to see more and get a chance to win some of the goodies/giveaways.

Here are a few sneak peaks…
