Tagged!

I've been Tagged again. And this time by talented fingers Embellisher, by the hugely interesting Krista of Luminous Life & by artistic Megha of Arth and Nitya. (If u are interested in reading my previous tagged entry click here) There have been a couple of others who've tagged me & my apologies to them for not linking them here. The deal is this- I need to put down here 7 random things about myself & tag fellow bloggers and keep all concerned in the loop. So here's my list :)
I'm constantly thinking of travelling. I'm happiest planning a trip, a weekend, a month, a year a lifetime full of travel. Take me to a new place. Make me happy.
I am Rajasthan obsessed. I will be going there soon for a 2nd time. I just know I will keep travelling to Rajasthan till I die and never have enough :) :)



I can speak 5 different (Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Marathi, Gujrati) Indian Languages and not a single foreign one. English in my head is not foreign, its the language I think in.

Net junkie, that is me. I can spend 24x7 in front of the comp. But I've consciously been taking it easy & therefore not blogging or flickering as often as I used to :)
This year has been all about change for me, I cut my long curly hair & coloured it. Im also a lot more 'dressy' now & am actually wearing some of the loads of jewellery that I own.
I used to be such a digital art person & that is changing. Whatever had to happen had to happen on the computer, but these days I find myself very drawn to 3d art, where I need to put things together, stick them, I find myself obsessed with texture & material and juxtaposition. Scrapbooking inspires me hugely & I'm forever drooling over Ali Edwards & Anahata Katkin. I have already done one piece of 3d art for my friend which i will feature soon here, so look out for it :)
I am just LOVING Ali Edwards' work

Anahata Katkin is blowing my mind!!!
And as I write this post, the hottest news is that I'm the owner of a brand new Canon DSLR :) My flickr won't languish anymore & oh maann how i missed having a camera. Its an update from one tagged to another, cause in my last tagged post I had actually asked you guys to help me figure whether I should pick a DSLR or just go for a high end point and shoot. You'll be seeing a lot of my photographs in the forthcoming posts & that's a promise.
I now tag fellow bloggers whom I've grown to like and whose work I admire: Felicia of 'near and far', Joanna D of LotusHaus, Prashant Bhardwaj of Chai ki Dukaan and Jessica Gonacha of 'treasuring'.

that's what happens when you stay in bombay.. you hear and speak so many languages.. and english is not "phoren". And you have a 3rd eye that recognizes many intersting things that you introduce us to. don't you agree.

FUN! I love learning a bit more about you. :) And I haven't been tagged in a while-- I'll be sure to post on my blog soon and keep it going!

Lovely selection of pics for this post vineeta! I simply love Rajasthan. Infact i made very recent visit to the state during Diwali and as always it has left me hungry for more. And yes, like you, even i have a huge collection of fundu accessories. But i like collecting such stuff and never wear it :P

Since you are such a travel freak, i'd suggest to come to Gujarat. You'll not be disappointed :)

Felicia said...

Thank you for tagging me!
I do hope to visit India one day soon! I'm in love with textiles and did a job for Caravane.fr. They licensed 9 of my photos for their website!

Ciao Bella!

Sorry guys was away for a bit!
Indian year, thats so true, living in bombay is what has helped me hear learn and use all these languages. And I have a 3rd eye u say? Thats really sweet of you, but i wish i really used the 2 i anyway have better.

vineeta said...

Jess, looking forward to your random 7 :)

vineeta said...

bhumika, I used to wear a lot of accessories long back & in between i just stopped. its all about the mindset, i have figured that i have these 'phases' where i like to get 'dressed' and this phase when i can live in one pair of jeans tshirts and keds. I am now is my 'dressy' phase clearly :)
I m dying to do Gujarat. I have only done Ahmedabad- modhera. I will remember to consult you when i decide to come that side!

vineeta said...

embellisher, Writing a tagged post is always a bit of a trauma for me- how much to tell & not to tell :)
oh yes, Anahatas work is brilliantly interesting & landing up at that workshop would be a real dream

vineeta said...

Ashwiny, this tagged thingy is a little blogger community bonding kind of game & yes the idea is that you get tagged and you tag someone.
But i'm so glad yo left this line here & i got to see the many creative corners of your colourful home.

vineeta said...

vineeta said...
