Our initial assumptions of tiny UFOs (Unidentified Feline Objects) above our roof was confirmed with this sighting a few days ago. This one seemed to quite enjoy peering at us through the stairs. Beam us up, Kitty!

Trapeze @ Pune Design Festival '12
Earlier this year, Sarita and Ram were invited to speak at the Pune Design Festival- Design without Boundaries, organised by the Association of Designers of India.
Sarita and Ram's talk focused on the theme of the event- Design Without Boundaries. As designers, we are often slotted and boxed into certain stereotypes with respect to the kind of work that we do, the way we approach it and so on. But isn't that far from the case? We are constantly breaking down walls, donning different hats, learning new things, holding hands and taking leaps of faith.

The format of the Pune Design Festival was almost intimate in a sense, with more interaction between speakers and participants (especially students) than one usually sees in design events - the organisers had quite effectively broken the fourth wall. Groups of talks and subsequent panel discussions were followed by tea breaks and break-away sessions of workshops that allowed for more discussion to be generated on the topics at hand.

Alice at Unbound
'You may call it "nonsense" if you like,' she said, 'but I'VE heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!'
Sarita participated in Unbound, an inspiring artist book workshop that culminated in an exhibition of book sculpture. Her obsession with quotes from Alice in Wonderland resulted in a woven dress, made of banana fibre paper.
"What is the use of a book without pictures or conversations?"
This narrative dress, a picture in itself, in iconic blue and white with conversations woven in and real objects - a golden key, a pocket watch, butterflies and flowers is reminiscent of the hidden secrets that Alice finds in Wonderland.
