Women simply adore jewellery ; and men simply love adorning them with the same! But, none of us actually care to find out where it all started. Its history is as interesting as jewel itself.They have been in use for almost as long as the human civilisation has been in existence. Cro-Magnons, the ancestors of homo sapiens, are said to be the first users of jewellery. Back then, crude necklaces and bracelets made of bone or teeth were used by both men and women as pieces of decoration. Some people used tusks, pearls and even shells for the same.Copper jewellery was first seen about 7,000 years ago. Ancient Egypt is regarded as the pioneer in jewel making, where this art form started about 5,000 years ago. It soon began to symbolise monetary power and religious power in the Egyptian communit
I was just approached by Dwell magazine and was asked to take a look at a series of three videos, featuring innovative design concepts, explained by the designers themselves from their personal and professional perspectives. The first video is by landscape architect, Andrea Cochran, second is an Airstream interior design by Christopher Deam, and the third shows a prefab house by prefab architect Michelle Kaufmann. To me, good design is good design, and oftentimes concepts can freely move from one discipline to another. Andrea Cochran talks about layers in her design work, the juxtaposition of warm and cool elements, warm being, perhaps, lone plantings placed nearby strong, simple lines in the hardscape. It is a lesson for interiors as well, kitchen design absolutely included. It is a philosophy which is clean, yet not cold. Layers of visual interest are designed in, after the foundation of the design is created. This is what I tell my clients about their kitchen des

The November issue of Dwell Magazine has a nice feature and photo essay highlighting the (hopefully popular) trend of urban cycling. It’s light on text but heavy on bikes, bags, and gear to assist any newbie in hammering out the logistics of every day city cycling. Check out the slideshows featuring commuter bikes, messenger bags, and accessories. After all, owning a chic little city big is worthless if you don’t have some cargo capacity right?
I’m a big advocate of utilitarian cycling – or the every day use of bikes as transportation. Whether commuting to work, running errands, or just getting from A to B, in many cities it’s much more convenient than using a car, keeps you active, and often much faster than using transit.
My only contrarian angle would be that some of this gear is, well, way too nice. Many of us live in environments where we get bombarded with rain, snow, slush, and worse - thieves. And we share our parking spaces other bikes w

All of them are ancient, powerful and easy in pronunciation.But before you start:Here is a basic terminology which you should know before starting Mantra repetition as you find its presence many mantra. All these words are from Hindu Mythology.Kali yug :The last in the four eras (time periods) of creation. The other threes are Satya yug, Threta yug and Dwaper yug . These four eras are characterize by the intensity/effect of the rule of truth in them with the Satya yug having the most prominent qualities of truth and righteousness, with Treta at second, Dwaper at third and Kaliyug - the age of machines- at the fourth place. The present era is Kaliyug.Trinity of Brahma Vishnu and Mahesh: According to Hindu mythology there are three Gods who run the creation.
