  1. love what you are doing kavita… the blog is shaping up so well! big hug!

  2. i’m thunderstruck!

    i need some time to digest this… and i’m definitely going to send this to people i know who will love it!

    i’m still speechless…

  3. great work, I guess all of us are like you, have an understanding for good and bad design, and simple aesthetics that come with time, exposure and knowledge seeking. I live abroad, and am proud of what Indians are doing.

    hey there

    omg your work is amazing :)

    im currently looking to choose what i want to do at uni

    and to create images and art works such as the ones you have, is something id love to achieve and possibly start some kind of career in.

    did you do a degree or go to college to learn all this? if so, where?

    and do you have any inspirations?

    would be most helpful if you could help me by answering these Q’s :)

    Hi Kavita,

    Like you, I too love design in all its forms. I soak it up from magazines, books, art galleries, stores and now even from blogs! I did up my house recently and would love to send you some pictures but couldn’t fine your email on this site. We were featured in Inside Outside about a year ago.

    Best of luck
