 In this blog, I am going to be writing about my tryst with weaving.  Weaving is a method in which strands of yarn are interlaced in an up-down pattern to form a piece of cloth. In order to weave, we make looms (which can be made from any object, we just have to use our creativity) and in some cases, warp thread around them and then start weaving. According to the desired end product, we can make the loom accordingly and use different colours.  On Day 2, we started weaving with yarn. My first project was Finger weaving , a very simple method where our fingers are the loom!! I made a few necklaces as well as bracelets using this technique. Then I learnt how to do  CD Weaving .   This uses a CD as it's loom. We warp the thread from the centre to the edges and start weaving through them.

Yesterday was the annual exhibition for grades 1 to 12 in my s chool, which is HLC International . Our exhibition was named Strands Of Transformation , which was the continuation of the exhibition that took place two years back, named Shaashvatam . Shaashvatam means sustainability and addressed two of the three main needs for a person:  food and shelter . We grew crops of different varieties in our own school farm overcoming the grave challenges posed by the Vardha cyclone!! We built a farmhouse as well which covers the need for shelter. This year, we looked at the third main need which is clothing  and kept it as our main theme. Strands Of Transformation means that every strand of fibre, not matter where it is obtained from, joined together, brings a huge transformation in every one's lives. This year's exhibition topic was divided into six subtopics : 1. Paper and Felt Making 2. Braiding and Knitting 3. Dyeing 4. Printing 5. Weaving and Basketry 6. Drapin

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them.

Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of topics
