Refresh

The last couple of days, a movie shoot is underway in our building premises.

When I got home from work, I was puzzled to find my two large flower pots and a pair of black terracota horses missing. The latter is pretty high on the sentiment quotient even if they are not that expensive. I have preserved them for over 9 yrs now.

I found it adorning one of the unoccupied flats on the same floor. What the film guys are using for the shoot.


Just basic decency and courtesy wouldn't you say to seek our permission before taking our stuff, even if it is accessible ? And if they were so considerate that they did not wish to disturb us when we are at work ( read in sarcy tone) :
- Could they not have at least put it back in place after the day's work ?
- Would they replace it had they broken/ chipped it?


So in true artnavy style, I went and presented my arguments to our building coordinator. He said he would get the director to apologize. Of course I proclaimed it completely unnecessary and asked for an assurance that none of my stuff be taken/ given.


And to think I insist that Anush share her stuff !! ( except brush, comb, soap, towel and ....husband of course)
To make amends , I share some interesting links with you:
Aarohi's kadai

Have you seen the props in the Minto Fresh TVC/ ad? No? Then go here.
I would love to have a lot of those things- the cooker is fabulous.
Reminded me of Aarohi Singh's work and some corners of Ashwiny Iyer's home and even some of Dithi's art
Trust you will enjoy them as much as I do
