See the World. Meet new people. Find yourself. Have a story worth Telling! How true is that!
When I landed into Bangalore as a new bride, I wondered what direction my life would take me.After a year of trials and tribulations , I decided to get back to my first love- Art and that's how Masala Popsicles started.
Thanks to getting back to my old love of art and crafting I've been able to meet so many new people, make some beautiful friendships and associations and in the process, I have slowly started to discover myself and my personality.
The Bangalore craft lovers group, has provided so many artists and crafters like me an amazing support system and platform to display and showcase our creative talents.
So now when someone asks me what I do, Its not that plain old answer " housewife" anymore.. I'm an entrepreneur & artist.
Doing what I do has given me immense amount of happiness and satisfaction. Its changed my perspective towards a lot of situations.
This process of finding myself will definitely be a continuous one.. and more importantly its the experiences along the way that I've started to cherish and use as an anchor that helps me go forward in life.

I just hate the drab sound of the word housewife, though in actuality it has so much meaning to the role, don't know who came up with this word for it !!
ReplyDeleteI admire your creations at Masala Popsicles so much Sandhya, not to mention your genuine warmth and enthusiasm the few times we have met in person. Great going, keep at it!!
Thank you soo much aparna!!!! Your right the word housewife just irks me!!!! I've learnt to work around it now and actually use it to my advantage :)
DeleteYour creations looks beautiful, Sandhya and I love the name of blog and your venture. Look forward to meeting you in person and getting hold of some of those gorgeous looking things lying next to you in your picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks Aparna!!! Your post about the tomato and dates chutney looked delish!!! i'm going to try it soon!!!
DeleteOh you must feel so proud of yourself :) Congratulations on all your achievements. Keep soaring high.
ReplyDeleteThank you, for all the love and these amazing motivating words.. :)
DeleteNisha told me a lot about your work and now I get to see it.. Brilliant. And yes! its about time folks stop typifying the housewife... the creativity of our breed comes out in the way we handle our husbands, kids, cooking, family activities and life in general... and for so many of us... being able to turn entrepreneur at the same time shows what we are capable of... Kudos on following your passion...
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruth!!! What lovely words.. I'm so glad that i have people like you around me,the ones that help me rise above my " housewife" status :)
DeleteWhat lovely things you do :) And Masala Popsicles - how very desi whimsical!
ReplyDeleteThank you !!! your lovely words make me very happy :D
DeleteHousewife. It's a badge I wear with pride. It's what I am and it's a big role with responsibilities and privileges too.
ReplyDeleteI love the Masala Popsicles side of you.. what joy it is to have a creative outlet isn't it? It's what keeps me fuelled so I can deal with the mundane bits of life :)
