What am I upto at the moment:
Work happenings:
-Starting to ideate on the Planner+Calendar Trio 2025 (already! We just launched the 2024 set a few months ago but that’s how long it takes to get from drawing to sampling so we’re in time to launch in the second half of the year 🥸)
-Waiting for samples of products finished already.
-Trying to figure out whether I just need to get extremely proficient in editing videos or find an editor. I’m not a video person but I’m taking this up as a challenge to trudge along with how the world is moving.
-Working on collaborations with Bombay Kids Company, Elfin House (this launched!), Prefora (sampling!), and Narayana Health.
- ‘Kahaani Chamkeeli’ (a Hindi kids book that’s part of the series I’ve been doing for the past few years) with T4 Tales has gone to the printers for final print samples and workings (because it’s an interactive book). Cross fingers.
-I was working with an old client on an idea I wanted to execute with his help. That turned into two things we wanted to start and now it’s three things including another amazing person. Throwing some big ideas on the back burner because I also need a life and have my other job(s). 🤷🏻♀️
-I’ve cleaned my entire stationery cupboard(s) and took out a lot of things that I’ve not used to hand over to someone who would.
-Had my first ever sinus headache and infection and it was, as you can expect, absolutely awful. But now I’m a proficient nasal irrigator. 🤓
Personal happenings:
-Started yoga again after almost 4 years! So good and so so fun! I used to be able to do a headstand and now I cannot. So I’m practicing that again. Unlike bike riding, this you CAN forget.
-Learning Portuguese, albeit very slowly.
-Started marking 2-3 highlights of my day on a calendar, only because it blows my mind how many things happen in just a week. Anything from meeting an old friend to trying a new recipe to adopting a unicorn.
Questions on my mind:
-Do I need to start a broadcast channel on Instagram? Or Whatsapp? Or both?
-Do I throw out all my paper drawings? There’s just way too much! I thought I’d use it as part of a possible future exhibition but I don’t foresee that happening any time soon with how much is on my plate at the moment.
