Varnam: Colours; an ode to colourful India
Varnam
is a multi-award winning social enterprise that has been working
with artisans in Channapatna for over six years.
Our
speaker Karthik Vaidyanathan,
the founder of Varnam, hails from
the Chettinad region of South India. Born and brought up in Mumbai
he currently resides in Bangalore. An Engineer-MBA by qualification,
Karthik has no formal training in design.
Varnam was born
in late 2011 during Karthik’s trip to Mysore enroute Channapatna.
The colourful toys of Channapatna left him fascinated
and
created in him, an urge to learn more about the craft. Karthik’s
endeavor is to merge his aesthetic sensibilities and design philosophy
into traditional crafts. His thought is to reorient our crafts to
the modern context by ensuring that each design has a utilitarian value
in the present times. The result is a series of designs interpreting this
two hundred old toy-making craft in the home and lifestyle space that
includes lighting; kitchen, dining and bar accessories; children’s room
décor and toys.

Chutney
Chatter
As
we all know, there are so many types of chutneys prepared in India
which are traditional not just to our own homes but even the community
we come from. With great pleasure, we invited a few of our
very own members to share a chutney recipe which is unusual in their
kitchen.
In
the festive spirit and one for sharing joy, join us in learning some new
chutney recipes which the ladies will proudly share, so we can try
them out in our own homes.
Looking
forward to sharing chutney recipes and chatter with you.
Hope
you will join us for this wonderful morning.

“What I am Asking is Fairness tothe Athlete.” - Varsha Gautham
Varsha Gautham is
the youngest Indian to win an Asian Games medal,
at the age of 16, in 2014.A
bitter court battle almost forced Varsha Gautham to quit the Asiad this
year, but perseverance helped her to tide over the crisis and
clinch
a silver medal in sailing at the Asian Games.It
was a tough time for her. On numerous occasions the thought occurred
to her as to whether she would make it. She always had the belief
that she could win a medal, but the hardest part was to actually get
to be a part of the Indian squad to the Asiad.Trials
and tribulations of an athlete is little known to us.
Varsha
is in conversation with Gita
Chandrasekaran, sharing her experiences
with IWA.
