Wabi Sabi – Perfection in imperfection! In this world of automation it takes just a few hours to make flawless fabrics on powerlooms.
A lump here, a slub there, variations in texture and colour and design is something I have cherished. Maybe because  I am not flawless. Maybe I identify more with natural not so bright colours which seem unreal to me.
Sub consciously I was doing the right thing – Khadi, hand made – the personal touch.
Its about the weaver, its about empathy, feeling, sensitivity, not immune to the simpler pleasures of living – the vermillion of the sunset, the dark grey of the monsoons, verdant green of spring!
No machine can ever replicate the softness of a baby’s touch, the sunshine of gurgling laughter, shared moments.
Lets celebrate this legacy of handlooms – Life.

Lets celebrate Khadi!
