Virtuoso!

How is it that you can go through your life and not experience talent that a lot of our artisans possess? There is just so much talent in our world that it needs to be exhibited. Dastkar, an organization that gives a lot of people the confidence to showcase their art and skill. I’ve been trying to visit it since long but been unsuccessful so I just thought to myself that I’ll just go for it. So, I got up and went away to explore this mela of colours.

It seems to be a lot like Delhi Haat, with some difference, personal business that needs to flourish needs a platform. Places like these provide them with ample opportunity to do so.  A bit on the high end, but surely they do have some amazing pieces. However, it will be nice to see more of traditional craftsmanship which currently I found to be missing.

One of the things that I really enjoyed was the Nagaland dance. There is something very enchanting in drum beats and the positivity that it exudes. Ofcourse my favourite Boul was present who kept following me around.

 It was a fantastic visit though I wasn’t that keen on the stuff there. Bought this piece from a Pakistani Lady, looks quite antique which off late I’ve started digging. The tribal jewellery has some seriously amazing artistry which makes every piece unique. Most of it was just run of the mill stuff which is quite easily available at places like Delhi Haat, Pragati Maidan or Surajkund but nonetheless, an experience in itself.
