whee!! tee

As you could have guessed from the title of the blog it's about a tee, a t-shirt design contest in my daughter's school. This was something i was looking forward to as much as my 3 1/2 y old daughter. She was told in the school whom so ever 's t-shirt will be the best, will get a prize. She was very excited and had one thing clear that "Mamma i want my t-shirt to be the best". But as a mother i also had my side of the words ready too "No Poorva its not about winning or loosing, its about participating and enjoying making it"...anyways deep inside all of us want to win and who hate to get a prize, even if its small or big.


So coming back to my tee. We finally made our whee- tee, using our head , heart and hands. And to our delight our tee got the prize too. There were 3 students in the school who got a prize and my daughter was one of them. Whee did it!!

This is my first blog and it seems as if i had been just waiting to write one for years. . I am a simple soul who loves to design her dreams ...dream to fly in the sky or a dream to make my own portrait . As a kid i remember telling people that i want to be an artist when i grow up , never ever did i say a doctor or an engineeer, but as i grew my parent's dream was my ambition. Ambition to be a doctor. Soon it got shattered when i did not qualify after trying for 2 years. I gave my NIFT entrance ...the only exam and went to hyderabad to complete my 3 years of Fashion Design.




My college days were one of my best days of my life, and i still say that after 9 years . It changed me as an individual and as a professional. Graduating from NIFT with those awards and recognisions...gave me lot of confidence . My first job was as a designer for a Boys company . This company gave me lots of freedom to Design and explore. I did everything from Design silhouttes to graphics. After 1 1/2 y in this comapany i got a chance to work with "Omega Designs" . The place where i got my wings. I travelled to different destinations including London, Paris, Barcelona, Hongkong, US almost twice in a year.I grew as a professional too, started as a designer and soon i was the head designer with a team .






Then my career took a break. My Daughter and our relocation to Charlotte, USA. I guess there must be millions like me but at that point of time it seemed as if i was the only one. After three years of being a full time home maker i relocated to NJ. Here i am today trying to get back to my design and my career. Hoping i am going to find something soon.
